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.

against_o the_o ordinance_n rite_n and_o custom_n which_o moses_n have_v deliver_v and_o in_o particular_a circumcision_n and_o the_o old_a sabbath_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o go_v by_o guess_n and_o conjectural_a probability_n thus_o much_o i_o infer_v from_o the_o premise_n as_o matter_n of_o certainty_n the_o custom_n which_o paul_n teach_v people_n to_o cast_v off_o be_v the_o custom_n deliver_v by_o moses_n act_v 21.21_o which_o be_v destinate_a to_o be_v change_v by_o christ_n act_v 6.14_o but_o paul_n teach_v people_n to_o cast_v off_o circumcision_n and_o the_o old_a sabbath_n
