1689, CH. 22, "OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP & THE SABBATH DAY," PARA. 7: ITS APPROPRIATE DAY
SUMMARY: The Sabbath Day is both perpetual, and changed in the New Testament. As a moral law it remains forever as part of God's holy law of love. As a positive law, its purpose changes from a memorial of God's rest at creation, to a memorial of Christ's rest at the new creation. The seventh day sabbath looked backwards at God's rest, but it always looked forward to the resurrection. Once the promised resurrection was accomplished, it becomes our memorial.
