Thesis 63. [ 63]

Nor is it an Argument of any weight from Iohn 39.1. be∣cause the two Disciples are said to abide with Christ that Day, that therefore the night following did belong to that day (they staying as it is supposed all night) and consequently that the Day begins in the Morning; for these Disciples comming to Christ at the tenth houre or foure of the Clock in the afternoone, there were then two houres remaining untill Night (the Iewes artificiall Day continuing from six to six) within which time our Saviour (who can do much worke in a small time) might sufficiently instruct them (for that time) within the space of two houres; and why might they not depart before the night came, and so stay with him onely so short a time? And yet if they did stay that Night, they might notwithstanding be said to stay that artificiall day onely, with∣out reference to any Night before or after, or to any part of the Morning following that Night, when 'tis probable they departed if they did stay with him all that Night.
