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.
It is called,1 saith Dr. Young, Dominicum, because, as Austin notes,—the Lord made it: this, saith he, perhaps will be of no great weight with some, since the Lord made all days; but he seems to have made this day after a special manner, namely, by his Resurrection from the dead (the Commemoration of which Benefit exceeded the Memory of the old Creation)—or else because it was destinated for worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ, &c.
