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.

10. And if they receive one Error, they are ready to receive more.
11. They commonly seem uneasy under the Word where they are Members, and catch at any thing to blemish their Minister, and will wander abroad to hear as their fancies lead them, as if under no Government, tho they grieve and afflict the Church and Members to whom they belong, breaking Christ's Bands, and casting his Cords from them.
To close, (1.) Take heed of erroneous Books, and if you doubt do not presently turn your Doubts into Practice. (2.) Beware of your own private Interpretation of Scripture, and confer with such as have better Judgments than your selves. (3.) Suspect all private Opinions which differ and dissent from the general Doctrine, as taught by Christ and his Apostles, and owned in the two next Ages after them, or that dissent from the general Doctrine and Practice of such whom you believe in this Age have obtained the clearest Light: remember the way of Truth is no By-path, but trodden by the Primitive Flock or Gospel-Churches. (4.) Be sure hear what can be said against your Notion, as well as what you hear for it. There is one thing I should have noted touching the Error of these Sabbatarians, viz. their Notion brings in an external force upon the Conscience in matters of Religion; for they must force their Children and Servants not only to rest, but to worship God on the seventh Day tho against their Light, or they are guilty of Sabbath-breaking. But I will add no more.
