A91155	A briefe polemicall dissertation, concerning the true time of the inchoation and determination of the Lordsday-Sabbath. Wherein is clearly and irrefragably manifested by Scripture, reason, authorities, in all ages till this present: that the Lordsday begins and ends at evening; and ought to be solemnized from evening to evening: against the novel errours, mistakes of such, who groundlesly assert; that it begins and ends at midnight, or day-breaking; and ought to be sanctified from midnight to midnight, or morning to morning: whose arguments are here examined, refuted as unsound, absurd, frivolous. Compiled in the Tower of London, and now published, for the information, reformation of all contrary judgment or practise. By William Prynne of Swainswick Esq;.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1654 (1654)	Wing P3916; Thomason E814_11	82,955	107

their_o own_o rule_n the_o effect_n can_v precede_v the_o cause_n and_o so_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n christ_n resurrection_n in_o the_o morning_n can_v not_o operate_v à_fw-la parte_fw-la

neither_o be_v it_o proper_o a_o part_n of_o time_n but_o only_o as_o it_o be_v a_o day_n not_o as_o a_o lordsday_n wherefore_o when_o you_o affirm_v that_o christ_n resurrection_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o lordsday_n and_o therefore_o it_o change_v the_o beginning_n of_o it_o your_o meaning_n be_v and_o must_v be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o change_v the_o

yea_o a_o fallacy_n too_o in_o apply_v that_o to_o this_o day_n as_o a_o day_n which_o be_v speak_v only_o and_o intend_v of_o it_o mere_o as_o a_o lordsday_n to_o illustrate_v this_o by_o a_o example_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v like_o to_o water_n in_o baptism_n to_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o a_o church_n that_o be_v consecrate_v or_o to_o one_o above_o to_o enter_v into_o order_n now_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v th●t_z baptism_n do_v change_v the_o water_n the_o sacramental_a consecration_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n consecration_n canonical_a the_o church_n and_o ordination_n the_o man_n if_o we_o mean_v they_o change_v their_o very_a nature_n essence_n and_o substance_n the_o speech_n be_v mere_o false_a for_o they_o continue_v in_o nature_n in_o substance_n the_o same_o they_o be_v before_o if_o we_o intend_v they_o only_o alter_v their_o use_n which_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o apply_v this_o alteration_n to_o the_o substance_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v in_o case_n of_o the_o sacament_n argue_v thus_o the_o father_n say_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v after_o consecration_n to_o wit_n in_o their_o use_n only_o ergo_o they_o be_v transubstantiate_v and_o change_v in_o their_o substance_n then_o it_o be_v but_o a_o fallacy_n or_o equivocation_n which_o be_v explain_v prove_v but_o a_o mere_a non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la since_o the_o change_n in_o the_o use_n or_o quality_n only_o infer_v no_o necessary_a alteration_n in_o the_o substance_n so_o when_o the_o objector_n say_v that_o christ_n resurrection_n do_v change_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n if_o they_o mean_v only_o that_o it_o be_v the_o occasion_n why_o the_o use_n of_o it_o be_v alter_v from_o a_o common_a

solemnize_v as_o a_o lordsday_n their_o word_n be_v true_a in_o this_o sense_n only_o but_o than_o they_o neither_o prove_v nor_o imply_v any_o change_n at_o all_o in_o the_o limit_n beginning_n or_o end_n of_o the_o first_o day_n or_o in_o the_o day_n itself_o but_o in_o its_o use_n alone_o and_o so_o the_o day_n continue_v the_o same_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v before_o but_o when_o they_o go_v thus_o far_o as_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n resurrection_n on_o it_o do_v alter_v the_o very_a beginning_n and_o end_n and_o so_o the_o nature_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o day_n because_o it_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o alter_v its_o use_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n they_o intend_v in_o both_o these_o proposition_n than_o the_o argumentation_n be_v sophistical_a and_o the_o

that_o his_o resurrection_n on_o that_o day_n be_v one_o general_a original_a occasion_n of_o solemnize_n it_o for_o the_o lordsday_n yet_o it_o be_v untrue_a that_o his_o bare_a resurrection_n only_o

that_o christ_n resurrection_n do_v nothing_o alter_v it_o as_o the_o three_o and_o five_o precede_v conclusion_n prove_v at_o large_a wherefore_o i_o shall_v here_o demand_v of_o the_o objector_n
