precede_v christ_n resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o commencement_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o christ_n resurrection_n do_v not_o sanctify_v only_o the_o first_o hour_n but_o the_o first_o day_n on_o which_o he_o rise_v therefore_o the_o antecedent_n part_n of_o the_o first_o day_n which_o be_v pass_v before_o his_o resurrection_n as_o well_o as_o the_o subsequent_a for_o as_o

deliverance_n as_o well_o as_o the_o evening_n though_o the_o deliverance_n perchance_o be_v not_o till_o noon_n or_o after_o and_o as_o if_o our_o saviour_n shall_v have_v rise_v at_o two_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n about_o which_o together_o time_n he_o first_o show_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n yet_o no_o man_n will_v have_v argue_v that_o therefore_o the_o sabbath_n

the_o selfsame_a reason_n must_v be_v still_o keep_v from_o evening_n to_o evening_n though_o our_o saviour_n rise_v not_o till_o the_o morning_n because_o we_o observe_v not_o the_o hour_n the_o

on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n if_o on_o the_o seven_o than_o he_o be_v not_o three_o day_n in_o the_o grave_n and_o then_o we_o have_v no_o ground_n for_o sanctify_v the_o first_o day_n if_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n than_o the_o day_n be_v begin_v before_o he_o rise_v for_o if_o the_o day_n begin_v not_o till_o he_o be_v rise_v then_o he_o rise_v not_o on_o it_o

of_o the_o day_n it_o be_v begin_v before_o else_o this_o day_n shall_v have_v two_o beginning_n and_o so_o it_o be_v begin_v before_o it_o begin_v and_o after_o it_o begin_v which_o be_v a_o
