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.

Let me only add, that all Moses's Law, even the Decalogue, was political, as one observes. God's Law was for the particular political Government of the Jewish Nation, as a typical Church and political Body; and therefore when their Kingdom or Policy ceased, the Law as Political, and their figurative Sabbath could not continue any longer.
And thus I close with the fourth general Argument, viz. It is not the Duty of believing Gentiles to keep the Seventh-day Sabbath from the Law of the Decalogue given by Moses, Exod. 20.
Fifthly,1 It is not their Duty to keep it by any Precept given by Christ, or Precedent we have in the New Testament.
- 1No Precept to keep the Seventh-day Sabbath in the New Testament.
1. That which is urged concerning Christ's not coming to destroy the Law, &c. we have answered; as also that of Paul, we do not make void the Law through Faith.
