And no Man can assert the same day of Rest precisely to abide as of old, but he must likewise assert the same way of entering into •t, which yet, as all acknowledge, is changed. The day first annexed to the Covenant of Works (that is the seventh day) was continued under the old Testament, because the outward Administration of the Covenant of Works was continued.—But now the new Covenant being absolutely established, and the other abolished, both as to its Nature, Use, Efficacy and Power, no more to be represented nor proposed unto Believers, even the whole of it: Yea, and its renewed Administration under the Old Testament being removed, taken away, and disappearing, Heb. 8. 13. the precise day of Rest belonging unto it was to be changed also, and so it came to pass.
