Thesis 29.
To know when and where the Lord Christ instructed his Disciples concerning this Change, is needless to enquire. It is sufficient to believe this, that what the Primitive Churches exemplarily practised, that was taught them by the Apostles who planted them; and that whatsoever the Apostles preached, the Lord Christ commanded, as hath been shown. Yet▪ if the Change of the Sabbath be a matter appertaining to the Kingdom of God, why should we doubt but that within the space of his forty days abode with them after his Resurrection, he then taught it them, for 'tis expressly said that He then taught them such things, Acts 13.
