And looke as Christ was a Lambe slaine from the foundation of the World meritoriously, but not actually: So he was also risen againe in the like manner from the foun∣dation of the world meritoriously, but not actually. Hence it is that look as God the father actually instituted no Sabbath day, untill he had actually finished his work of Creation, so
neither was it meet that this day should be changed, untill Christ Jesus had actually finished (and not meritoriously on∣ly) the work of Redemption or Restoration: And hence it is that the Church before Christs coming might have good reason to sanctifie that day, which was instituted upon the actuall finishing of the work of Creation, and yet might have no reason to observe our Christian Sabbath; the work of Re∣storation and new Creation, and rest from it, not being then so much as actually begun.
