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

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

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

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
