A97211	The Jevvs Sabbath antiquated, and the Lords Day instituted by divine authority. Or, The change of the Sabbath from the last to the first day of the week, asserted and maintained by Scripture-arguments, and testimonies of the best antiquity; with a refutation of sundry objections raised against it. The sum of all comprized in seven positions. By Edm. Warren minister of the Gospel in Colchester. Imprimatur, Edm. Calamy.

the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n not_o direct_o indeed_o but_o by_o very_o good_a consequence_n as_o mr._n cawdrey_n and_o mr._n byfield_n do_v convince_o argue_v it_o for_o say_v the_o one_o our_o saviour_n do_v here_o speak_v of_o a_o sabbath_n indefinite_o and_o a_o sabbath_n to_o be_v observe_v long_o after_o his_o death_n even_o at_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o this_o

the_o jewish_a sabbath_n be_v go_v and_o the_o gospel_n sufficient_o publish_v whereby_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v evacuate_v and_o become_v not_o only_o dead_a but_o deadly_a not_o that_o the_o old_a law_n of_o a_o sabbath_n the_o four_o commandment_n be_v then_o out_o of_o force_n but_o the_o law_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n be_v this_o christ_n show_v a_o sabbath_n to_o continue_v and_o a_o religious_a respect_n due_a to_o a_o sabbath_n still_o after_o his_o death_n yet_o not_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n therefore_o he_o intend_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n to_o be_v observe_v according_a to_o the_o four_o commandment_n as_o for_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v void_a at_o this_o point_n of_o time_n yea_o long_o before_o this_o forewarn_v flight_n the_o apostle_n and_o christian_n have_v their_o assembly_n apart_o from_o the_o other_o jew_n and_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o on_o the_o great_a day_n of_o pentecost_n act_v 2._o and_o at_o troas_n act_v 20.7_o and_o although_o sometime_o the_o apostle_n do_v preach_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n yet_o as_o mr._n c._n note_n it_o be_v only_o before_o the_o time_n mention_v act_n 20_o never_o after_o and_o only_o in_o other_o city_n abroad_o not_o at_o jerusalem_n for_o there_o we_o never_o read_v a_o word_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o all_o the_o story_n of_o the_o acts._n i_o conclude_v therefore_o with_o that_o reverend_a author_n that_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o
