NOw, though this were a perpetuall durable Ceremony, that the Passeover should be eaten, on the first moneth of the yeare; yet, upon extraordinary occasion, both the Passeover was kept, and to be kept, on the second moneth, Num. 9.11. (the people being uncleane) and this we may truely call, a second, Succe∣daneall
Passeover; when the Israelites were indisposed, for the receiving of it, in the first appointed season: Hezekiah also kept his great Passeover, in the second moneth; whereof two other Reasons are given; First, because the Priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, 2 Cor. 30.3. Secondly, the people had not ga∣thered themselves together in Jerusalem, duely as they ought, in the first moneth. These things adjourned the Passeover over to the second Moneth.
