A81722	Sacred chronologie, drawn by scripture evidence al-along that vast body of time, (containing the space of almost four thousand years) from the creation of the world, to the passion of our blessed Saviour. By the help of which alone, sundry difficult places of Scripture are unfolded: and the meanest capacity may improve that holy record with abundance of delight and profit: being enabled thereby to refer each several historie and material passage therein contained to its proper time and date. / By R.

east_n or_o west_n the_o beginning_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n vary_v one_o minute_n next_o that_o neither_o the_o lord_n day_n nor_o jewish_a sabbath_n namely_o the_o first_o and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n fall_v precise_o upon_o the_o same_o point_n of_o time_n they_o do_v in_o the_o creation_n be_v as_o evident_a as_o the_o former_a because_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o the_o time_n of_o joshua_n and_o go_v back_o ten_o degree_n in_o the_o day_n of_o hezekiah_n have_v make_v a_o manifest_a alteration_n and_o in_o probability_n at_o least_o of_o twenty_o four_o hour_n or_o thereabouts_o for_o though_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n stand_v yet_o time_n stay_v not_o and_o though_o afterward_o the_o sun_n go_v backward_o yet_o still_o time_n go_v forward_o fourteen_o hour_n probable_o in_o joshuahs_n time_n suppose_v the_o sun_n stand_v a_o artificial_a day_n which_o with_o they_o in_o summer_n be_v about_o fourteen_o hour_n and_o ten_o hour_n in_o hezekiahs_n day_n so_o as_o that_o day_n be_v fourteen_o hour_n long_o than_o any_o former_a day_n make_v all_o the_o follow_a sabbath_n till_o hezekiahs_n time_n to_o fall_v fourteen_o hour_n late_a than_o any_o former_a sabbath_n and_o after_o hezekiahs_n recovery_n the_o jewish_a sabbath_n fall_v ten_o hour_n late_a than_o all_o the_o sabbath_n from_o joshuahs_n time_n and_o twenty_o four_o hour_n late_a than_o all_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n till_o the_o day_n of_o joshuah_n that_o be_v just_o a_o whole_a natural_a day_n late_a than_o before_o so_o as_o in_o truth_n after_o hezekiahs_n recovery_n the_o jewish_a sabbath_n fall_v punctual_o upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o our_o christian_a sabbath_n by_o proportion_n fall_v on_o the_o second_o day_n of_o the_o week_n by_o reason_n of_o those_o twenty_o four_o hour_n extraordinary_a insert_v in_o the_o day_n of_o joshua_n and_o hezekiah_n but_o when_o then_o must_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n or_o our_o lord_n day_n begin_v answ_n to_o i_o it_o seem_v far_o more_o easy_a to_o speak_v to_o the_o negative_a than_o the_o affirmative_a and_o to_o tell_v when_o it_o begin_v not_o than_o when_o it_o

the_o former_a ground_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o preciseness_n of_o time_n rather_o the_o second_o than_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o at_o what_o hour_n this_o day_n ought_v to_o begin_v be_v the_o great_a question_n i_o have_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v and_o easy_o shall_v be_v persuade_v with_o divers_a eminent_a for_o piety_n and_o learning_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o begin_v at_o sun_n

that_o it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o our_o saviour_n appear_v to_o the_o ten_o apostle_n for_o thomas_n be_v not_o with_o they_o till_o the_o lord_n day_n follow_v john_n 20.26_o second_o that_o on_o that_o very_a day_n he_o appear_v to_o the_o two_o disciple_n go_v to_o emam_fw-la and_o sup_v with_o they_o it_o be_v so_o late_o before_o supper_n as_o they_o will_v

in_o the_o evening_n and_o so_o probable_o it_o be_v towards_o sunset_n when_o they_o go_v to_o supper_n at_o which_o time_n it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o travel_v not_o only_o for_o robber_n but_o also_o for_o wild_a beast_n psalm_n 104.19.22_o which_o i_o suppose_v be_v the_o ground_n why_o they_o constrain_v our_o saviour_n to_o abide_v with_o they_o four_o that_o after_o supper_n the_o two_o disciple_n return_v again_o to_o jerusalem_n be_v distant_a from_o emaus_n seven_o mile_n and_o a_o half_a every_o mile_n contain_v eight_o furlong_n luke_n 24.13.33_o now_o suppose_v they_o have_v sup_v by_o sunset_n and_o withal_o that_o they_o foot_v it_o after_o the_o rate_n of_o four_o mile_n a_o hour_n for_o no_o doubt_n they_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n with_o a_o good_a will_n to_o carry_v the_o news_n of_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n they_o come_v thither_o towards_o eight_o at_o night_n and_o as_o they_o be_v relate_v the_o good_a tiding_n to_o the_o ten_o apostle_n our_o saviour_n himself_o appear_v among_o they_o luke_n 24.36_o suppose_v than_o it_o be_v but_o eight_o at_o night_n when_o christ_n appear_v its_o apparent_a that_o it_o be_v two_o hour_n after_o sunset_n though_o other_o think_v it_o be_v far_o late_a and_o so_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n if_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n end_n at_o sunset_n but_o john_n say_v express_o that_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n christ_n appear_v john_n 20.19_o whereas_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v pass_v two_o hour_n before_o with_o they_o who_o begin_v the_o first_o day_n at_o sunset_n nor_o can_v this_o argument_n be_v solid_o evade_v by_o those_o who_o say_v that_o here_o john_n reckon_v the_o day_n after_o the_o roman_a account_n from_o midnight_n to_o midnight_n for_o first_o grant_v the_o roman_n reckon_v so_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a task_n for_o they_o to_o prove_v that_o john_n intend_v here_o to_o follow_v their_o acount_n and_o we_o can_v as_o easy_o deny_v it_o as_o they_o affirm_v it_o second_o as_o fear_v scatter_v the_o apostle_n at_o our_o saviour_n death_n so_o probable_o conscience_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n make_v they_o keep_v so_o late_o together_o otherwise_o they_o have_v be_v safe_a from_o the_o jew_n danger_n be_v asunder_o than_o together_o which_o be_v the_o ground_n they_o now_o shut_v the_o door_n upon_o themselves_o john_n 20.19_o this_o be_v further_a confirm_v by_o their_o meeting_n again_o the_o lord_n day_n follow_v verse_n 26._o as_o also_o by_o paul_n preach_v on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n till_o midnight_n act_v 20.7_o and_o though_o his_o sermon_n may_v be_v long_o than_o ordinary_a because_o he_o be_v to_o leave_v the_o disciple_n of_o troas_n yet_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o preach_v that_o evening_n be_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n nor_o do_v he_o probable_o begin_v his_o sermon_n till_o after_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o in_o those_o time_n be_v at_o night_n 1_o cor._n 11.20_o 21._o and_o after_o supper_n in_o imitation_n of_o our_o saviour_n though_o this_o custom_n have_v cease_v with_o we_o for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o well_o as_o dip_v in_o baptism_n because_o of_o the_o inconveniency_n of_o meet_v so_o late_o especial_o in_o many_o place_n where_o the_o people_n live_v further_o off_o from_o the_o place_n of_o assembly_n and_o i_o think_v either_o place_n or_o time_n do_v bind_v unless_o there_o be_v a_o express_a command_n for_o it_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o a_o upper_a room_n as_o well_o as_o after_o supper_n by_o all_o have_v be_v say_v appear_v very_o probable_o that_o the_o latter_a as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a evening_n be_v part_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n let_v who_o will_v interpret_v john_n to_o speak_v after_o the_o roman_a account_n i_o must_v crave_v liberty_n to_o adhere_v to_o that_o rather_o than_o the_o jewish_a account_n especial_o since_o paul_n himself_o have_v confirm_v this_o interpretation_n by_o his_o own_o practice_n act._n 20.7_o and_o why_o the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n may_v not_o be_v alter_v as_o well_o as_o the_o day_n itself_o and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o authority_n i_o see_v no_o clear_a evidence_n to_o the_o contrary_n nor_o see_v i_o any_o convince_a strength_n in_o that_o main_a argument_n so_o much_o insist_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n evening_n and_o morning_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n ergo_fw-la evening_n and_o morning_n be_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n for_o first_o grant_v the_o whole_a syllogism_n it_o make_v not_o against_o we_o for_o since_o the_o evening_n be_v put_v for_o night_n and_o the_o morning_n for_o day_n our_o christian_a sabbath_n still_o begin_v at_o evening_n if_o it_o begin_v at_o midnight_n and_o so_o still_a evening_n and_o morning_n be_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n second_o to_o the_o major_a we_o answer_v that_o the_o denomination_n be_v take_v a_o major_n part_n and_o therefore_o the_o christian_a

the_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n as_o well_o as_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v nor_o do_v i_o conceive_v it_o such_o a_o inconvenience_n to_o affirm_v that_o the_o six_o or_o
