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.

1. I do not believe it is unlawful to kindle a Fire on the Lord's-day, because 'tis not forbid ⟨p. 272⟩in the Gospel, as it was under the Law on the old Sabbath-day.
2. I do not believe 'tis unlawful to travel further than a Jewish Sabbath-days Journey; whether to to hear a Sermon, or to visit a sick Person, or the like.
We have no bounds under the Gospel,1 saith Dr. Owen, for a Sabbath-days Journey, provided it be for Sabbath Ends. In brief, all Pains or Labour that our Station and Condition in this World, as Troubles may befall us, make necessary, as that without which we cannot enjoy the solemn Ends and Uses of this sacred Day of Rest, are no way inconsistent with the due observation of it. It may be the lot of one Man to take so much pains, and to travel so far for and in the due Celebration of the Lord's-day, as if another should do the like without his Occasions and Circumstances, it would be a profanation of it.
