Qui propterea quod Dominus in eo ad vitam a morte redierit Dominicus appellatur sayth CHRYSOSTOME that is Which for this cause is called the LORDS Day because on it the LORD Himselfe returned from death to lyfe againe So that as the Lords owne resting the seaventh day which the IEWES kept Athanasius in Matth. 11.27 recommended their Sabbath to bee kept by them so the Lords owne rysing from death this seaventh day which Christians obserue Iustin Martyr Apol. 2. recommends justlie the Lords Day to bee kept by vs Sozom. l. 1. cap. 8. and whosoever wilfullie prophaneth the same as our Salmond-fishers doe in tyme of Divyne Service preferring Gaine to Godlinesse they show that they neyther loue Christ as Ignatius sayeth nor celebrate as they ought thankfullie the memorie of His blessed Resurrection Next as it is renowned by the Lords Resurrection so it is honoured by His Name which as an honourable stampe and impression the Spirit of GOD and Pen of the beloved Apostle hath fixed and set thereon Revel 1.10 calling it THE LORDS DAY So that as the Iewish Sabbath vnder the Law and which was consecrated to the Lords worship then was called by the Prophet HIS HOLIE DAY Isai 18 1● So justlie may the Lords Day vnder the Gospell which is now consecrated to His worship bee called CHRISTS HOLIE DAY Wherefore sayeth AUGUSTINE Qui vocatur Dominicus Aug. Serm. 15. de verbis Apostoli ipse videtur propriè ad Dominum pertinere quia in eo Dominus resurrexit that is That day which is called the LORD'S DAY appeareth properlie to belong to the LORD Himselfe because on it the LORD did aryse And agayne sayeth PROCOPIVS Procopius in Genes 1. Ab ipso DOMINO cognomen desumpturus erat ut diceretur dies Dominicus tanquam soli DOMINO consecratus that is It was to take the denomination from the LORD Himselfe to bee called the LORD'S Day because it is consecrated onlie vnto the LORD And therefore whosoever prophaneth the same neglecting His worship thereon and onelie giue themselues to their filthie Lucre whereas they should giue vnto GOD that which is GOD'S on the contrarie they are sacrilegious robbers of GOD which is the worst sort of Athiest And if they say with the Iewes in MALACHIE Whereof haue wee robbed Him Malac. 3.8 He● will tell them in the day of their dreadfull account Of My Day dedicated to My holie Worship and of the solemne honour and worship due to Mee thereon and so of that which is most sacred ●n the highest degree as all things are which are so stamped with His Name and Superscription Thirdlie Hee honoured that Day also by His first apparition thereon after His victorious Resurrection vnto His Disciples being assembled together Iohn 20.19 at what tyme also He blessed them by breathing vpon them Hee gaue them the holie Ghost And in lyke manner vpon the same day being the Pentecost after His glorious Ascention into Heaven Act. 8.4 when His Apostles were all assembled together in one place Hee sent downe the holie Ghost in shape of ●eloven fyrie Tongues plentifullie vpon them whereby they were enabled miraculouslie to speake to everie nation according to their language And vpon which day also they first began the publicke exercise of their holie Ministrie which was crowned that daye with the conversion of three thousand soules Who-so-ever then will prophane wilfullie that day and spend the same onelie and whollie in persuing their vnlawfull gayne thereon it is evident that they are not led by that Spirit which came downe on the Apostles that day Rom. 8.14 And whosoever are not led by the Spirit of GOD they are not the sonnes of GOD as testifieth the Apostle Fourthlie Our Saviour graced that day of His Resurrection in lyke manner by revealing thereon vnto His beloved Disciple saynct IOHN those high and heavenlie Mysteries which make vp the propheticall part of the New Testament and are contayned in that transcendant Booke of the APOCALYPSE and Clausule of the whole Scripture From all which severall sortes of our Saviour's honouring His owne Daye therefore did the ancient Fathers giue it such honourable Titles Ignat. ad Magnes Chrysost Hom. 5. de Resurr Gregor Nazianz oratio 43.
