Thesis 43.
The Lord Christ rested from the work of redemption by price, upon the day of his Resurrection; but he is not yet at rest from the work of Redemption by power, until the day of our Resurrection and Glory be perfected. But it doth not hence fellow (as Master Primrose imagines) that there is no Lords day Instituted in respect of Christs Resurrection because he hath not, nor did not then •est from Redemption by power; for look as the Father having rested from the works of Creation might therefore appoint a Day of Rest, although he did not, nor doth not yet rest from Providence, John 5.17. So the Lord Christ having finished the great work of Redemption, he might justly appoint a day of Rest, although his redeeming workly by power was yet behind.
