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.

MY Brethren, I have endeavoured to prove, that the first Day of the Week our Lord Jesus Christ hath appointed to be the special Day of Rest, and for the Worship of God under the Gospel▪
First, By virtue of his Command, who was with his Disciples forty days giving them Commandments, &c. before his Ascension, which are not expressed.
Secondly, Because Pentecost was the first day of the Week, when this Day was confirmed by the miraculous effusion of the Holy Ghost. But to proceed:
Thirdly, My next Argument shall be taken from Christ's Resting, or ceasing from his Works upon that day, as God did from his.
And this indeed I take to be the Foundation of the observance of the first Day; and that which I mentioned last is a clear confirmation thereof.
