But why the Seventh day? What is it? Take but the shadow thereof away: Or what shadow now is left in it since its institution as to Divine Service is taken long since from it?

Is there any thing in the works that was done in that day, more than shadow, or that in the least tends otherwise to put us in mind of Christ; and he being come, what ⟨p. 130⟩need have we of that shadow? And I say again, since that day was to be observed by a ceremonial method, and no way else, as we find; and since Ceremonies are ceased, what way by divine appointment is there left to keep that old Sabbath by Christians in?

If they say, Ceremonies are ceased. By the same Argument, so is the sanction of the day in which they were to be performed. I would gladly see the place, if it is to be found, where 'tis said, That day retains its sanction, which yet has lost that method of service which was of God appointed for the performance of worship to him thereon.
