First, 1On this day he rested from his Work by his Resurrection, for then he laid the Foundation of the new Heavens and new Earth, and finished the Works of the new Creation, when all the Stars sang together, and the Sons of God shouted for Joy.
- 1Pag. 366.
On this day he rested from his Works,1 as God did; and was refreshed, as God was: for tho he worketh hitherto, in communication of his Spirit and Graces (as the Father continueth to do in his Works of Providence) after the finishing of his Works of the old Creation, tho these Works belong thereunto; yet he ceaseth absolutely from that kind of Work, whereby he laid the Foundation of the new Creation: henceforth he dyeth no more, and on this day was he refreshed in the view of his Works, for he saw it was exceeding good.

Now as God's Rest,1 and his being refreshed in his Work on the seventh day of old, was a sufficient Indication of the precise day of Rest, which he would have observed under the Administration of that original Law and Covenant; so the Rest of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of his being refreshed in and from his Work on the first day, is a sufficient Indication of the precise day of Rest to be observed under the Dispensation of the new-Covenant, now confirmed and established.
