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.

But to wave this a little, 'tis well observed by Dr. Wallis: He'll say perhaps [i. e. Mr. Banfield] the Jews observed such a seventh Day from the Creation, and that was their Sabbath: But that is more than he or I know, or any Man living. They had I grant a circulation of seven days, but from what Epoch we cannot tell. And when Moses tells them on the sixth day, To morrow is the Rest of the holy Sabbath, it seems to be the fixing of a new Epoch from the first raining of Manna; and then all his Arguments from the continual observation of the Sabbath from the Creation till that time, are at an end, i. e. whether this from the first raining of Manna be the same with that from the Creation: And there is six to one odds, that it is not.

1. Observe,1 that at the opening and giving forth of the Command, Exod. 20. 8. 'tis said, Remember the Sabbath-day, that is, the day of holy Rest of God's appointing.
