of_o the_o day_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o christ_n rise_v in_o the_o dawn_n it_o be_v necessary_a our_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o remembrance_n thereof_o that_o our_o day_n shall_v then_o begin_v second_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o the_o true_a christian_a sabbath_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o shall_v begin_v at_o morning_n when_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n the_o world_n begin_v to_o be_v renew_v whereas_o the_o other_o begin_v at_o night_n when_o the_o world_n in_o the_o creation_n be_v finish_v three_o that_o the_o night_n follow_v be_v account_v a_o part_n of_o the_o day_n precedent_n we_o see_v act._n 20._o vers_fw-la 7._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o paul_n preach_v at_o troas_n until_o

seven_o day_n than_o he_o have_v stay_v at_o least_o a_o night_n long_o than_o seven_o day_n and_o so_o more_o than_o seven_o day_n for_o he_o shall_v have_v stay_v part_n of_o another_o day_n but_o that_o this_o night_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o they_o then_o keep_v do_v yet_o further_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v this_o night_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o

that_o it_o be_v say_v ver_fw-la 11_o that_o he_o commune_v with_o they_o till_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n and_o so_o depart_v both_o which_o circumstance_n concur_v well_o with_o this_o to_o prove_v that_o he_o hold_v the_o night_n follow_v to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v say_v that_o by_o this_o reason_n we_o may_v justify_v the_o delivery_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n in_o the_o night_n i_o grant_v it_o the_o time_n be_v as_o this_o be_v a_o time_n of_o persecution_n otherwise_o not_o but_o this_o to_o keep_v the_o night_n of_o the_o

further_o than_o to_o show_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n from_o which_o we_o ought_v not_o rash_o or_o unaduised_o to_o dissent_v and_o this_o have_v be_v observe_v ever_o sithence_o the_o
