Book Description
Excerpt from Typical Character of the Old and New Dispensations On referring to the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church, it will be observed that the Westminster divines left the question undecided. It says: The fourth commandment requireth of all men the sanctifying or keeping holy to God such set times as He hath appointed in His word, expressly one whole day in seven; which was the seventh from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, and the first day of the week ever Since, and so to continue to the end of the world; which is the Christian Sabbath, and in the New Testament called the Lord's day. The designation Christian Sal) bath here, would indicate a distinction between this and the Jewish Sabbath. In accepting the position that the Lord's day is not a transfer of the Jewish Sabbath, the author has the satisfaction of knowing that he has at least one illustrious Presbyterian in his favor - John Calvin.
