Thesis 67.

[ 67] Nor doth it follow that because our Saviour tells Peter, Mark 14.30. Luke 22.34. that this Day, even this Night (viz. of the Passeover) he should deny him, that this Night there∣fore was any part of the precedent day; for it may be as fairly interpreted to belong to the day following that Night. Nor is it necessary to determine this word Day always to a determi∣nate time of 24 houres, of which the Night was a part, but onely of a speciall season of time: for so tis frequently figu∣ratively taken without any respect to a day of 24 or 12 hours, viz, for a speciall season of Time wherein some speciall provi∣dence of God doth appeare and is put into execution, as Isay 29.18. and 25.9. and 27▪ 1. Exod. 14.13. 1 Sam. 4.7, 8. 2 Sam. 4.5, 7, 8.
