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.

Even in the Old Testament, wherever New Moons and Sabbaths are coupled together (unless the Phrase be figurative, as in Isa. 66. 23.) the Jews weekly Sabbath is denoted by it, as appears by those Scriptures cited in the Margin†, in most of which their annual Sabbaths are excepted, and distinguished by another name, scil. [Feasts] to which answers the word Holy-days in this place, Col. 2. 16. For indeed the word in the Original signifies a Feast or Festival-day. Thus let Scripture expound Scripture, and Truth will be Truth in spite of Error: take the whole Sentence together, Holy-days, New-Moons, Sabbaths, and (if it be an Old Testament Phrase) it always implies the old Seventh-day Sabbath; or take the word [Sabbaths] singly by it self, and (if it be a New Testament Term, as 'tis ⟨p. 99⟩like it is) it ever signifies the same seventh day; unless when put for week, which here it cannot be. The Conclusion then is undeniable, that the Jews Seventh-day Sabbath was a shadowy Sabbath.
