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.

Two things I observe from what the Doctor notes:
1. That these Men thought we are under the like Obligation in observance of the first Day, as the Jews were on their seventh Day.
2. That they thought the Morality of the fourth Commandment consisted in the observation of the Lord's-day, or the first Day of the week, and so is a pure Moral Precept; both which I utterly deny, and the contrary I have proved.
Secondly, in the Affirmative I do say, that the first Day, tho it be of mere positive Right, ought to be observed wholly to the Lord: He that observes a day, let him observe it to the Lord; and day, much more the Lord's-day.
(1.) To the Lord, not to our selves, i.e. for our external Profit, or Pleasure.
