    OBJECTIONS

    1. To say that it was first appointed or caused to be observed by Constantine, or by the Pope is historically false!ROSS 8.1

    2. Or to say that “Pope Nicholas first called it the Lord’s day” is historically false, as may be seen in Bingham’s Christian Antiquities.ROSS 8.2

    3. Constantine caused it by law to be observed by the unconverted and the heathen and officers of government; but it had been observed by the saints 150 years before, voluntarily.ROSS 8.3

    4. And the councils which made canons on it, did not introduce it thereby, but only required uniformity, where there were some neglectful. For it was generally held sacred and observed from the first century.ROSS 8.4

    5. It was also called Lord’s day by A. D. 168, or the middle of the second century, by Dionysius writing to Pope Soter, and was thus in the second and third century distinguished from the Sabbath.ROSS 8.5

    6. But the seventh Saturday Sabbath never was made a day of legal rest, nor strictly a rest by the church or councils; but a day of meetings only. Both were called “festivals,” but the first day had the pre-eminence. D. I. R.ROSS 8.6
