What about the seventh day?
When it is said that God rested on the seventh day of all his works, we shouldn't understand this in a childish fashion, as if work were a toil to God; it means the rest of them, which believe in him. It is a rest both in God, by them that in this life first in part have come near to him through belief, and caused by God.
