Obj. Christ can't be said to refer to this, because he had not then abrogated the Sabbath.
Answ. 1. I have showed that spiritual Rest (signified by the seventh-day's Rest) was given to all them that believed in Christ; so that the Antitype being come, the Type was a flying away, and was in a dying state at that very time; tho all typical Ordinances were not utterly abolished till his Death and Resurrection.

2. 'Tis as if our Lord should have said, you magnify the Sabbath as if that was one of the greatest Commandments, and the main end of Man's Creation; but you must know the Sabbath was made for Man, and not Man for the Sabbath, as were all legal Rites and Ceremonies. And if it be thus, I that am the Messiah, am by my Office Lord of the Sabbath; and I can and will abrogate it, and appoint another day in its room.
