I The time when the first Sabbath was ordained. : 1 Negatively, not in the time of Adams innocency, as many say it was. 2 Affirmatively, it was ordained after the time of Adams fall and re-creation. II The manner how the first Sabbath was ordained. 1 By blessing the seventh day with many spiritual ordinances, both for publick and private use. 2 By sanctifying that day for the exercise of the said ordinances. 3 By sanctifying the outward rest of that day, to be a typical sign both of Gods resting, and of mans resting in the seed of the woman, that was promised to break the Devils head-plot, namely, by his propitiatory sacrifice. And hence it follows, 1 That as the Sabbath was ordained to be a typical sign, so it must be abolished, as soon as Christ had performed his said propitiatory sacrifice. 2 As it was ordained to be the sanctified time, for the exercise of the said blessed ordinances; so the next day of the week, into which it was changed, must continue without intermission to the end of the world. Part II. III A treatise of holy time, concerning the true limits of the Lords day, when it begins, and when it ends, is hereunto annexed. By William Pynchon Esq
