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.

Now I ask our Opponents, Whether the holy Spirit doth convince all Believers that they ought to keep the old Seventh-day Sabbath, or reprove them for Immorality in the non-observance thereof?
Sirs, as these things aggravate their Evil in what they affirm, so it clearly tends to overthrow the pretended Morality of that precise Seventh-day Sabbath: for the holy Spirit never convinces Believers of any such Duty, nor reproves them for working on that day, or for bearing of Burdens on it, any more than on any other day in the week, to their dying day. But it lets them silently fall asleep, without the least sense of any such pretended immoral Evil.
Besides, the generality of Believers after their utmost inquiry, search, and seeking to God in all sincerity, cannot be convinced it is their Duty to keep this Day.

Would the Holy Ghost thus leave the Generation of the Godly under Sin, and such Ignorance (think you) were this a moral Duty? And as to such as do observe it, I am satisfied the Spirit of God never taught them so to do. But they in this are left to themselves, and have a Zeal, but not according to knowledge, which God in time I hope by his Spirit will convince them of.
