Obj. The Prophet alludes to the general Gospel-day, or else only to that very precise day on which Christ rose; not that that day should successively be kept.
Answ. We deny not but that the general Gospel-days of Grace came in with this day: but in the days of the Gospel this Text also shows God hath made or appointed a particular Day to be observed with rejoicing and gladness of Heart, not the seventh but the first Day. For it is evident this day was the day when our Lord was made or became the Head-stone of the Corner, viz. the day of his glorious Resurrection. Where is the general Day of the Gospel called a Day made? Is not this as much as that at the beginning the Lord blessed and sanctified the seventh day? 'Tis not there said he sanctified it for men successively to keep. Now (1.) Here is expressed a particular Day; ⟨p. 212⟩and what day 'tis, the Verses going before show. (2.) 'Tis a day made or instituted for singular use. (3.) It is a day made by the Lord to that end. (4.) For us to worship God in, or to rejoice in before him with gladness of our Heart. God meeteth him that rejoiceth, and that remembers him in his ways.
