19 Bede's conceit may pass for an allegory built upon a witty accommodation of the literal sense which other fathers observed before him. But that cannot be the literal sense of the Commandment. You will not deny it, if you grant that the Sabbath was instituted before the fall, which I think more then probable, though the Broughtonists hasten the fall before the Sabbath. And I cannot without good reason yield that the patriarchs had no set time for divine service, I mean a weekly time.

31 True it is, that Christ did rest from suffering upon the seventh; but the last enemy death was not apparently overthrown until the reunion of his soul, and body, till he rose again for our justification, &c. Therefore did the apostles make that the consummation of redemption in Christs Person.

35 You cannot find in all the 14. to the Romans that the Apostle is positive in the doctrine of days, he expresseth a mutual indulgence until men had attained [Greek or Hebrew] concerning the liberty from Moses Law. Neither doth he bear out the Gentiles against the Jews, but qualify rather the destempered zeal of the Gentiles that were too hot against the Jews; Sensus dictorum sumendus est ex causis dicendorum, It is plain that there was a question, whether the Christian gentile should be pressed to observe the ceremonies whereunto the christian Jews were pertinaciously addicted? but never was there (for ought I read) a question whether the Jews should keep the Lords day? for I think they never refused it. Had there been such a quarrel, I would enlarge the sense of that Chapter, as you do, to our question, but seeing there was not, I see not how it should be reasonably done.
