His MAJESTY's Quaere concerning Easter, propounded to the Parliaments Commissioners at Holdenby, April 23. 1647.

I desire to be resolved of this Question, Why the new Reformers discharge the keeping of Easter.

The Reason for this Quaere is,

I Conceive the Celebration of this Feast was instituted by the same Authority which changed the Jewish Sabbath into the Lord's Day, or Sunday; for it will not be found in Scripture where Saturday is discharged to be kept, or turned into the Sunday: wherefore it must be the Churches Authority that changed the one, and instituted the other. Therefore My Opinion is, that those who will not keep this Feast, may as well return to the observation of Saturday, and refuse the weekly Sunday. When any body can shew Me that herein I am in an errour, I shall not be ashamed to con∣fess and amend it; till when you know my mind.
