The Jewish Sabbath abrogated, or, The Saturday Sabbatarians confuted in two parts
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.

So that if these words, Gen. 2. concerning God's blessing and sanctifying of the seventh day, 1are to be extended, saith one, to relate to any thing further than to that particular seventh day following the Creation, it doth not refer to any immediate Institution of the Sabbath, but is a historical Narration telling us what was done, and not when it was done. If therefore we can find out a certain time when the Sabbath was indeed instituted, there is good reason to conclude this Text refers to that time, as giving us the reason why God in the Institution of the Seventh-day Sabbath made choice of that day.

1. We may infer,1 that if the Patriarchs kept the seventh day, they had the knowledge of it by the Light of Nature, or by a positive Command; but they had not the knowledge of it by the Light of Nature, nor by any positive Command, therefore they observed it not.
