This is the day in which Christ our Surety received for us our free Justification, i. e. our discharge from the Curse of the Law, from Sin and Eternal Wrath. On this day Christ made an end of Sin, finished Transgression, and brought in everlasting Righteousness; therefore this is the day the Lord hath made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it.
1. The Lord made and created the Seventh-day, and afterwards made it a Sabbath to answer the end and design of the old Creation and old Covenant. So the Lord created the first day; and when the new Creation was brought in, he made it for a day of sacred Rest, and for his solemn Worship, answering the end and design of the new Creation.
2. The Seventh-day Sabbath was made for Man under the legal and typical Church of Israel; so the first-day was made for Man, the new Man, or for all the true Israel of God, under the Gospel, or for the Gospel-Church.
3. God made the Seventh-day an honourable day, answering his design in the first Creation; and Christ has made this day a more honourable day, answering his design in Redemption, or new Creation.
