The first feast mentioned in its place, is that of the sabbath, which, as it is the most ancient, so is it the most universal. JESUS hath given his sanction to it throughout his blessed gospel; for he came not to destroy the law, but to fulfil. Reader, suffer me in this place to remark, concerning our Christian Sabbath, that I pray GOD you and I may find JESUS himself to be the very Sabbath of our souls, that we may rest in him from sin, and rest in him to GOD: that it may be a Sabbath in our houses, in our families, in our hearts: and that he that sanctifieth it to us, may sanctify our souls in the observance of it. See those sweet scriptures, Isa_58:13-14; Isa_28:12 compared with Matthew 11:28-29.
