The divine appointment of the Lords day proved as a separated day for holy worship, especially in the church assemblies, and consequently the cessation of the seventh day Sabbath : written for the satisfaction of some religious persons who are lately drawn into error or doubting in both these points / by Richard Baxter.

4. How much of the certainty, and Glory of the Christian faith, and of all our Rest and Consolation in it, is laid in the Gospel on the RESURRECTION of our Lord, as beginning ⟨p. 166⟩a new World, or Creation as it were, and as conquering and triumphing over death and Satan, and sealing the promise and bringing Life and Immortality to Light, and opening the Kingdom of Heaven to Believers.
5. How much of Christs Legislation, and administration of his Church-settlement and Government was to be done by the Holy Ghost! And how glorious this office of the Holy Ghost is, and of what grand importance to be understood: As he was the promised Paraclete or Advocate or Agent of our glorified Lord, to do his Work on Earth in his bodily absence; To whom the Infallibility of the Scriptures, the sealing operation of Miracles, the Sanctification of Believers, and forming them for Glory in the Image of God, is to be ascribed: Whom to Blaspheme is the unpardonable sin.
6. How dangerous a thing it is made by the Holy Ghost to seek to set up Moses Law, (as the whole Epistle to the Gal. besides most of the other Epistles testify) as intimating a denial of Christ, and a falling from Grace, and a perverse setting up of that which Christ came to take down, as part of our own redemption. And how large and plain Paul is upon this Subject; and how the spirit in all the Apostles did determine it, Act. 15. And how the Cerinthians, Nicolaitans, Ebionites, Nazaraeans, and many more of the condemned Heresies of that age, which troubled the Churches, and whom the Apostles wrote against, went all that way of mingling the Jewish Law with the Gospel.
