Quote★★★
The festival of Sunday, like all other festivals, was always only human ordinance, and it was far from the intentions of the apostles to establish a Divine command in this respect; far from the, and from the early apostolic Church, to transfer the laws of the Sabbath to Sunday. –Dr. Augustus Neander, The History of Christ Religion and Church (1843), 186
