A TABLE of the Contents.
Poſition 1.
THe Sabbath made alterable (as to the day) in the firſt inſtitution of it, evidenced by three Arguments.

Two Scruples reſolved p. 37, 38, 39.
Poſition 2.
THat the Old Sabbath was further manifeſted to be alterable (as to the day) in the ſecond Edition of the Sabbath. For,

Arg. 2 From the New Covenant: The Covenant changed in a threefold expreſſure of it, in the Mandatory, the Promiſſory, and ſhadowy part, p. 90. to 105.

Four Objections removed.
The Firſt day of the week is deſigned for a day of weekly ſolemn Worſhip. For,
