Thesis 102.
If therefore the Sabbath began at evening from Adams time [ 102] in innocency till Nehemiahs time, and from Nehemiahs time till Christs time, why should any think but that where the Jewish Sabbath the last day of the week doth end, there the Christian Sabbath the first day of the week begins? unlesse any can ima∣gine some Type in the beginning of the Sabbath at evening; which must change the begining of the day, as the Type affixed did change the day: or can give demonstrative reasons that the time of Christs Resurrection must of necessity begin the Chri∣stian Sabbath, which for ought I see cannot be done. And ther∣fore it is a groundlesse assertion, that the reasons of the change of the day are the same for the change of the beginning of it; and that the chiefe of the reasons for the evening, may be as well applyed against the change of the day it selfe, as of the time of it: But sufficient hath been said of this. I shall onely adde this, that there is no truth of Christs, but upon narrow search into it, hath some secret knots and difficulties, and so hath this about the begin∣ning of the Sabbath; tis therefore humility and self-deniall to follow our clearest light in the simplicity of our hearts, and to wait upon the Throne of grace with many tears for more cleare discoveries untill all knots be unloosed.
