A. Our Saviour Christ willing his followers, which 1should live about 40. years after his ascension, to pray that their flight might not be upon the Sabbath, to the end that they might not be hindered in the service of God; doth thereby sufficiently declare, that he held not this Commandment in the account of a ceremony.
A. Our Sauiour Christ willing his followers, which 1should liue about 40. yeeres after his ascension, to pray that their flight might not be vpon the Sabbath, to the end that they might not be hindred in the seruice of God; doth thereby sufficiently declare, that he held not this Commandement in the account of a ceremonie.
Q. When doth this our Sabbath begin?
A. At the dawning of the day, for Christ rose in the dawning thereof; whereby is put a difference between the Jewish, and the true Christian Sabbath: for as the Jewish Sabbath began in that part of the day, in which the Creation of the world was ended, and consequently in the evening; so the celebration ⟨p. 112⟩of the memory of Christs Resurrection, and therein of his Rest from his special labours, being the ground of the change of that day into this; it also (by the same proportion of reason) is to begin, when the Resurrection began, which was in the morning.
