Thesis 74.

To thinke that the Sabbath must needs begin in the Morning, be∣cause [ 74] we read not expressely after Christs Resurrection, that the Night should belong to the day following, nor is there any instance thereof as in the Old Testament and before Christs Resurrection it may be (they confesse) undeniably so found] I say, to thinke the Sabbath must begin in the Morning upon this ground, is somewhat like to his conceit who finding in the Old Testa∣ment that the seventh day is to be sanctified; but not finding this expression, after Christs Resurrection, hence he thought there was now no seventh Day to be sanctified. Those who can answer this Objection, may know how to answer thereby their own argument for the beginning of it at Morning, which is just like unto it: if indeed there were cleare Scrip∣tures for the beginning of it at Morning in the new Testa∣ment, and none to shew the beginning of it at Evening, the Argument had much weight; but this hath not yet appeared: old Testament evidences are not Apocrypha proofes in mo∣rall matters, in these mens consciences, who thus argue for the Morning.
