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.

But this Feast of Pentecost is no where affixed in all the Books of Moses to any certain day of the Month: Nor indeed could it be, unless God should make a Ceremonial Law to cross the Law of Nature; or rather limit the course of Divine Providence, to ripen their Corn just against such a day of the Month: which, as Dr. Usher observes, is a very great presumption that the Feast of Pentecost was a moveable Feast, but immovable as to the day of the Week; so varying, that it might always fall upon the day immediately following the ordinary Sabbath.

6. The Antitype is the best Key to unlock the Type: And this is clear in the New Testament; for that Christ was our first Fruits in reference to his Resurrection,1 St. Paul assures us; and that he rose from the dead on the morrow after the weekly Sabbath, all the four Evangelists do inform us. And Tho. Tillam has granted, that these things must be punctually fulfilled by Christ, as well in the Time* as in the Type.
