and thus Bishop Andrewes accommodates that place in his pattern of Catechetical doctrine. It is as manifest, that the day of Christs resurrection is called in the Scripture the Lords Day; as manifest that not the day of the year, but the day of the week, whereon Christ rose, is called the Lords Day, which few take notice of. Likewise in the old Testament is manifest that the Jews Sabbath is called the Lords holy Day. Then the congruity in reference to the reason of the original institution is most exact. For first, Christ by his resurrection, brought with him a new creation; and this new creation, as D. Andrewes expresseth it, treading herein in the steps of the ancients, requireth a new Sabbath; and as the Lord rested on the seventh day from the work of creation, so our Saviour on the first day of the week from the work of Redemption: And lastly, the day ⟨p. 178⟩of Christs resurrection, was the day whereon Christ the stone formerly refused by the builders, was made the head of the corner, and of this day the Prophet professeth of old, saying, This is the day which the Lord hath mad, let us be glad and rejoice in it; which can have no other congruous meaning but this; this is the day which the Lord hath made festival, especially considering the doctrine of Bishop Lake, which is this; that the work of the day is the ground of hallowing the day, as is to be seen in the institution of all festivals, both Humane and Divine. And I have already showed how absurd it is, that we should expect it should be left unto the Church her liberty to appoint it, considering the great danger of dissension thereabouts, and extreme confusion thereupon; And it cannot be denied, but this day was established by the Apostles, and that as of authority Divine, as appears generally by the ancients. Athanasius professing, that Dominus consecravit hunc diem; Austin, that Apostoli sanxerunt; and Gregory, that Antichrist, when he comes into an humour of imitating Christ, should command the observation of the Lords Day; and Eusebius hath as pregnant a testimony to the same purpose as any; and Sedulius; and that not one of the Ancients, as I know, alleged to the contrary. So that to ascribe the institution of it to humane authority, that every way were a scandalous doctrine, and so would the practice be also according thereunto.

and thus Bishop Andrewes accommodates that place in his patterne of Catecheticall doctrine. It is as manifest, that the day of Christs resurrection is called in the cripture the Lords Day; as manifest that not the day of the yeere, but the day of the week, whereon Christ rose, is called the Lords Day, which few take notice of. Likewise in the old Testament is manifest that the Jews Sabbath is called the Lords holy Day. Then the congruity in reference to the reason of the originall institution is most exact. For first, Christ by his resurrection, brought with him a new creation; and this new creation, as D. Andrewes expresseth it, treading herein in the steps of the ancients, requireth a new Sabbath; and as the Lord rested on the seventh day from the worke of creation, so our Saviour on the first day of the weeke from the worke of Redemption: And lastly, the day
