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.

A Sabbatarian being in Prison with Mr. Tho. Grantham, he professed much Love to him. Ah, said Grantham, thou wouldst kill me. Who I, said he, what kill my Brother? or to that effect. Saith the other, Had you the Power of the Civil Magistracy in your hand, and should I break your Sabbath, what would you do with me? Said he, I confess Justice must take place. It is well they have not that Power in their hands.
9. Because Christ as a Testator hath made another Will, which is his last Will and Testament; ⟨p. 141⟩and this makes all Precepts void that were given in the Old Testament, and are not given forth or repeated in the new.
All know that no Legacy bequeathed in a former Will, that is left out in a last Will, is recoverable. Upon this account it is you have argued that the Law for Tithes is not in force now, nor Infant Churchmembership, nor an external Canaan flowing with Milk and Honey; or have Ministers Sons a right to succeed in the Ministry, and many other things, because they are not Legacies left in Christ's last Will and Testament, tho they were in the Old Testament. So the old Sabbath, being left out in Christ's last Testament, is no Legacy left to us.
