Thesis 199.
The Sacrament of the Lords Supper may be administered §199(meet circumstances concurring) every Lords day, nay upon the week days often, as they did in the primitive ⟨p. 176⟩persecutions: and hence our Saviour limits no time for it, in the first institution thereof, as he did for the Passover of old, but only this, As oft as you do it, do it in remembrance of me:1 Hence it will follow, that now under the Gospel there is no set Sabbath (as M. Primrose would) because our Saviour at the first institution of the Lords Supper limits no particular day for the celebration thereof, as once he did for the Passover; for though there is an appointed special time (as shall hereafter appear) for the public exercise of all holy duties not being limited to those times, but enlarged to other times also; hence there is no reason why our Saviour should institute a set Sabbath, when he instituted the Lords Supper, as the proper time of the celebration thereof, as it was in case of the Passover.
