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.
4. God made the Seventh-day a day of Rest, because in it he ceased for ever from first-Creation Works, and took complacency in his Works. So the Lord Christ hath made the first day a day of Rest, because in it he ceased for ever from the Works of Redemption, never to die or offer any more Sacrifice for Sin, and took complacency in his Work. This is therefore the day the Lord hath made; and we will rejoice and be glad in it. How made? saith one, not by Creation, for so it was made before.
