The Jewish Sabbath abrogated, or, The Saturday Sabbatarians confuted in two parts

Thirdly, In the pursuit of what I aim at, consider, that from the day of his ascension into Heaven, till the day of Pentecost, there were but ten days, during which we do not read they had any special general Assembly for Religious Worship, tho on the two first days some were together, and on both those days he appeared to them. And remarkable it is, that there were two Jewish Sabbath-days between his Ascension and the day of their first general solemn meeting. Now had not the old Sabbath been gone, certainly they had assembled on both those days: but no doubt our Lord had told them on what day they should first meet together, in expectation of the Gift and Promise of the Father; which day he purposed to ratify as the only Day of Gospel-worship, by a marvellous effusion of the Spirit. To me nothing deserves more to be observed than this, viz. on what day of the Week ⟨p. 185⟩the first general Gospel-Assembly was held, after our Lord's Resurrection, and just upon (or soon after) his Ascension: for no doubt that was the day which Christ did settle in his Gospel-Church. And that they were bid to be altogether on this day, and to wait till it was come, seems plainly implied in the very words of the Text, Acts 2. 1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come; fully come, doth not that denote they waited for it?
