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.

6. That they who say, that the Old Covenant, or the Covenant of Works made by Moses with the Jews is abrogate or ceased, and the Decalogue as a part of, or belonging to that Covenant, do say the same thing that I do, when I maintain that the Decalogue and whole Law as Mosaical is ceased, but that all the Natural part is ⟨p. 234⟩by Christ assumed into his Law or Covenant of Grace. For it is the same thing which is denominated the Law (of Moses, or of Christ) from the preceptive part, and and a Covenant from the terms, or sanction, especially the Promissory part. Nor is there any part of the Law of Moses, which was not a part of the Mosaical Covenant. And if the Form cease which denominateth, the Being and denomination ceaseeth, and all the parts as parts of that which ceaseth. So that if the Covenant of Works made with the Jews cease (which Camero calleth a third or middle Covenant, and several men do variously denominate, but the Scripture calleth the old, or former Covenant, or Testament, or Disposition) then all the Law as part of that Covenant ceaseth: And that is as much as to say also that it ceaseth as merely Mosaical, or Political to the Jews. And then the Argument is vain, This or that word was written in the Tables of Stone: Therefore it is of perpetual obligation. For as it was written in Stone, it was Mosaical, and is done away; and under the New Covenant all that is Natural and ⟨p. 235⟩Continued, shall by the Spirit be written upon the Heart; whence sin at first did obliterate it.
