thereby bare in memory the day of their deliverance out of Egypt and at that Feast teach their Children the reason of their keeping of it God did not give the Jews any exact Rules for finding of the Day in a Solary Year but only bade them keep the 14th Day of their First Month or that Month in which their Corn began to be ripe be it according to the different Seasons sooner or later and in that Feast notwithstanding such difference the Jews were to say in their Hymns and Prayers and teach their Children that on that Day God had deliver'd them out of Egypt and so in the common and civil use of Words the same Day of the same Month is reckon'd the same time tho' the Month fell earlier or later in the Solary Year At the time of our Saviour the Jews err'd in the time of their Passover if our Rules that make it depend upon the Equinox are true and made it depend upon a time 8 Days sooner and yet when this was the Day that the Sanhedrim had agreed on and they that sate in Moses Chair had solemnly appointed our Saviour and his Apostles never scrupl'd the time but Christ expresly said of it Luk. 22. 7. That that was the day in which the Passover ought to be kill'd And so the Jews assert that it was always in the power of their Chief Court to apoint their Passovers and tho they err'd yet were to be obey'd Talmud Sanhed p. 13. c. Cozri p. 213 214. Maimon Cons Cal. p. 349. and the Jews quote for that opinion the words of the Law Deut. 17. 9 10. THE chief thing aim'd at by God in all these Festivals was the Heart and the Devotions the Prayers and the Thanksgivings and when they were duly perform'd his People might be the less solicitous for the circumstance of time The best Rule about the time and what our Saviour himself practic'd is to follow the Commands of our Guides and Rulers and though they should Err in some minute Circumstances of time yet so long as the End of the Feast is obtain'd and Peace and Vnity preserv'd we are sure to be blameless And this hath been the method of the Church of England and other Reformed Churches who constantly kept Easter according to the Decrees of the Fathers of the first General Council who happily made Peace and Vnion in the Christian World and according to the practice of all the Christians in the World except the late Schismaticks of the Church of Rome who have in the last Century broken the Decrees of those very Councils that they themselves magnify and forsaken the practice of all the Christians in the World One of the Principal things that God oblig'd the Jews to was to keep the Passover in the first Month of the Year and yet the Romanists after all the Corrections of Pope Gregory do very often keep Easter in the last Month of the Year instead of the first for the Roman Year begins at the 25th day of March and yet their Easter may be on the 22d 23d or 24th day of March and so in the last and not in the first Month of the Year I do not mention this as a matter of such great moment as to deserve our altering our Old Rules for so long as we be within the compass of that which the Jews call'd the first Month of the Year it s not very material by what Name we call it but only to shew the many Errors and Mistakes of the bungling Corrections of the Church of Rome and that there is no reason at all for us to follow them but either to keep to our Old Rules and Vnion with the Christian World or else if we must be changing to do it more correctly than they have done I shall end this short Dissertation with that Excellent Advice of the wisest of Kings and wisest of Men twice mention'd in the short Book of Proverbs Remove not the Antient Land-mark FINIS Books Printed for R.
