And being in his Rest, he has appointed this Day as a Pledge thereof, that we may begin with God, give him the first Day, and so seek first the Kingdom of God. First as to the early days of our Life; first in the Day, and ⟨p. 208⟩[…] ⟨p. 209⟩[…] ⟨p. 210⟩first in every day of the Week. Brethren, we have Rest before we work, or labour for it, and so work from Rest, Life and Peace, and not work for Life, or to enter into Rest that way, as they were to do under the old Covenant. Remarkable is that passage of Paul, As many as walk according to this Rule (that is, the Rule of the new Creature, or new Creation) Peace be on them. And as in matters of Worship, so in respect to the new Day of Worship, the Apostle pronounceth Peace to such, &c.
