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.

4. How often doth God by Moses, and other of his Servants,1 declare that the Sabbath was given to Israel? It is a Sign between me and the Children of Israel,2 &c. Also Nehemiah speaking of Israel, saith, God made known to them his holy Sabbath: To them; and the Psalmist says, not to any other Nation.
Take two or three Arguments further to evince this.
1. The Law of the Decalogue was given only to a People in covenant with God:1 and because the whole House of Jacob were taken into that legal typical Covenant which peculiarly referred to that People; therefore God gave them that Law, and the Sabbath, as a Sign that God sanctified and set them apart to be a ⟨p. 128⟩peculiar People to himself; and as a Sign also of that Obligation they were laid under to keep it, as I have proved. But God entered into no such Covenant with any other People or Nation under Heaven; therefore the Law of the Decalogue could not concern any besides the House of Israel only.
