The Jewish Sabbath abrogated, or, The Saturday Sabbatarians confuted in two parts : first, proving the abrogation of the old seventh-day Sabbath : secondly, that the Lord's-Day is of divine appointment : containing several sermons newly preached upon a special occasion, wherein are many new arguments not found in former authors / by Benjamin Keach.The Jewish Sabbath abrogated, or, The Saturday Sabbatarians confuted in two parts : first, proving the abrogation of the old seventh-day Sabbath : secondly, that the Lord's-Day is of divine appointment : containing several sermons newly preach'd upon a special occasion, wherein are many new arguments not found in former authors / by Benjamin Keach.

3. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his Resurrection gave beginning and being to this especial Day of holy Rest under the Gospel, rose not until the Morning of the First-day of the Week, when the beamings of the light of the Sun began to expel the darkness of the Night; or when it dawned towards Day, as is variously expressed by the Evangelists: This with me determines this whole matter.
4. Mere cessation from Labour in the Night, seems to have no place in the spiritual Rest of the Gospel to be expressed on this Day, nor to be by any thing distinguished ⟨p. 268⟩from the Night of any other day in the Week.

5. Supposing Christians under the Obligation of the direction given by Moses beforementioned, it may entangle them in the anxious scrupulous Intrigues which the Jews are subject unto about the beginning of the Evening it self, about which their great Masters are at variance: which things belong not to the Economy of the Gospel. Upon the whole matter I am inclinable to judg, and do so, that the observation of the Day is to be commensurate to the use of our natural strength on any other day, from morning to night; and nothing is hereby lost that is needful to the due sanctification of it: For what is by some required as a part of its Sanctification, is necessary and required as a due preparation thereunto.
