Objection. TO this particular they say; That the keeping of the Lords day, or the first day of the weeke instead of the Jewish Sabbath, is not warranted by Scripture, but only by tradition from the Apostles.
Ans. There are three most evident Texts of Scripture which doth make appeare, that this change of the Sabbath began in the times of the Apostles, and so
by their Apostolique authority being thereto guided by the Spirit of God, is warranted, and so declared, and testified in Scripture, Act. 20. 7. 1 Cor. 16. 2. Revel. 1. 10. In the first of these Scrip∣tures we have the exercises of religion, preaching and administring of the Sacrament, which were peculiar to the Sabbath, trans∣ferred to the first day of the week. In the second, a publick chari∣table collection for the poore, which was also used upon Sabbaths. And in the third, the very name of the Lords day is set down.
