Reasons gathered out of the holy Scriptures, to prove, that since the Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, not only the Ceremonial Ordinances for Worship are abolished, but also the chief Time in which they were performed, to wit, the Seventh-Day Sabbath. And also to prove, that as the Lord Jesus hath not only ordained new Gospel-Ordinances, but also a new Time, in which they are to be performed, to wit, the first Day of the Week for the Gospel Sabbath.
