The Foundation,1 saith he, of the whole is laid down, ver. 10. For he that is entered into his Rest, 2has ceased from his Works, as God did from his: i. e. that as God ceased working, rested, and took satisfaction and complacency in his Work, never working any more in creating, and so a Rest followed on that day; so Christ ceased and rested from the Work of Redemption on the first day, and a Rest followed for us on that day, he taking Rest and Complacency in his Work.
