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.

And it appears on this day only he appeared to them, when they were assembled together, although occasionally: he showed himself to sundry of them at other seasons.—Moreover, from this time forward this day was never without its solemn Assemblies, as shall further be cleared afterwards. Thus the Doctor.

He then proceeds further to prove more fully from this of Heb. 4. the Foundation and Institution of the Lord's-day; in which he has certainly not only out-done all Expositors before him, but hath made it very plain that the first day is here by the Apostle declared to be established by Christ's Rest, and our resting in him; and to be the day of Rest and solemn Worship under the Gospel, as God's resting from his Work was the Foundation of the old Sabbath.
He cites Heb. 4. 3—11. moreover, he opens the many Rests mentioned,1 and proves the Rest spoken of in the Psalms to intend the Rest of Christ and his People in the Gospel-Dispensation; ⟨p. 206⟩and not the eternal Rest above, but that Rest which all that believe do enter into, after Christ had done all our Work, and ceased, or finished his Work for ever, as God finished his; and as a pledge of his Rest, hath left us a day of Rest: There remaineth therefore a Sabbatism for the People of God. Here is both the Foundation and Institution of the first day as a day of Rest, or a Gospel Sabbath; and the manner of our entering into it, as well as the abrogation of the old day.
