Part of a Speech delivered in the Starre-Cham∣ber, against the opinion of Mr. Traske; By the Right Reverend Father in God, Lancelot, Bishop of Winchester, deceased.
IT hath ever been the Churches Doctrine, that Christ made an end of all Sabboths, by his Sab∣both in the Grave, that Sabboth was the last of Page 38 them. And that the Lords Day presently came in place of it: Dominicus dies Christi resurrecti∣one declaratus est Christianis, & ex illo coepit habere festivitatem suam, saith Augustine; The Lords Day was by the resurrection of Christ decla∣red to be the Christians Day; and from that very time (of Christs Resurrection) it began to be cele∣brated, as the Christian m•…ns festivall.
These two, the Day and the Supper, have the Epithet of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Dominicum in the Scriptures, to shew Dominicum is a•…ike to be taken in both.
This for the practice.
If you will have it in precept, the Apostle gives it, (and in the same word still) that against 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the day of their Assem•…ly; Every one should lay apart what God should move him to offer to the Collection for the Saints, and then offer it: which was so ever in use. That, the day of oblations. So have you it in practice and in precept both.
