Argument 7.

IN every true Prolepsis, the very selfe same singular thing is to be understood in the Anticipation, and that whereon it dependeth: As Bethel in Gen. 12. 8. is the selfe same in Gen. 28. 19. not another Bethel.

But the seventh day in Gen. 2. 3. is not the very selfe same singular and individuall seventh day in Exod. 20. 11. as it was confessed, but the same in likenesse, saith one, and in successive revolution; but the nature of an Anticipation doth not admit of such a distinction. And here note fur∣ther, that the words of Exod. 20. 11. whence they doe ground their Prolepsis, have not the word seventh day in them: for in Exod. 20. 11. it is said, Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. But in Gen. 2. 3. it is said, He blessed the seventh day: so as Moses kept not to the word precisely, as he ought, if in Gen. 2. 3. there were a true Prolepsis. Therefore there is none.
