of that twenty four hours is to be taken for the whole twenty four houres but if they should be severed and reckoned by the twelve hours then there must be six times twelve hours considered and out of every one of the twelve houres we are to take a part or else we cannot make up the number of three distinct days and three distinct nights And though we should take a part of one distinct day of one distinct night for the whole day and night to make up the number yet it must of necessity be above four times twelve hours that is forty eight houres or else a day and a night of the time will be wholly excluded But Christ did not lie in the grave forty hours he lay but a small time on the first day of his Burial which was the sixth day of the week for presently the Evening came which night he lay in the grave and all the next day which was the Jews Sabbath And Mark saith * Mark 16.1.3 That when the Sabbath was past Mary Magdalen and Mary the Mother of James and Solome had brought sweet pices that they might come and anoint him And very early in the morning the first day of the week they came unto the Sepulcher at the rising of the Sun and Christ was risen before * v. 6. and appeared first to Mary Magdalen * v. 9. And Luke saith it was very early in the morning that they came to the Sepulcher and Christ was risen before * Luke 24.1.6 And Matthew saith * Mat. 28.1 2 3 4 5 6. That as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary to see the Sepulcher and behold there had been a great Earth-quake for the Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the dore and sate upon it His countenance was like lightning and his Rayment white as Snow and for fear of him the Keepers did shake and became as dead men And the Angel answered and said unto the Women fear not ye for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified He is not here for he is risen as he said And as they went to tell his Disciples behold Jesus met them saying All Hayle and they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him * v. 9. Now when he was risen early the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalen and she went out and told them that had been with him as they mourned and wept * Mark 16.9 11. And they when they had heard that he was alive and had been seen of her believed not Now John sheweth the manner how he appeared to Mary Magdalen saying * Ioh. 20.1 17. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalen early when it was yet dark unto the Sepulcher and seeth the stone taken away from the Sepulcher then she runneth and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other Disciple whom Jesus loved and saith unto them they have taken away the Lord out of the Sepulcher and we know not where they have laid him Peter therefore went forth and that other Disciple and came to the Sepulcher so they ran both together and the other Disciple did out-run Peter came first to the Sepulcher And he stooping down and looking in saw the linnen Clothes lying yet went he not in Then cometh Simon Peter following him and went into the Sepulcher and seeth the linnen Clothes lye And the Napkin that was about his head not lying with the linnen Clothes but wrapped together in a place by it self Then went in also that other Disciple which came first to the Sepulcher and he saw and believed for as yet they knew not the Scriptures that he must rise again from the Dead Then the Disciples went away again unto their own home but Mary stood without at the Sepulcher weeping And as she wept she stooped down and looked into the Sepulcher and seeth two Angels in white sitting the one at the head and the other at the feet where the Body of Jesus had layn and they say unto her woman why weepest thou she saith unto them because they have taken away my Lord and I know not where they have laid him And when she had thus said she turned her self back and saw Jesus standing and knew not that it was Jesus Jesus saith unto her woman why weepest thou whom seekest thou she supposing him to be the Gardner saith unto him Sir if thou have born him hence tell me where thou hast laid him and I will take him away Jesus saith unto her Mary she turned her self and saith unto him Rabboni which is to say Master Jesus saith unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my Father but go to my Brethren and say unto them I ascend unto my Father and your Father and to my God and your God Now all these things were before he met the women and that they caught him by the feet And before Mary Magdalen was at the Sepulcher Jesus Christ was risen while it was yet dark even towards day And therefore seeing Jesus Christ rose the third day and not the second day The night before the day-light must be concluded to be part of the large natural day else we shall destroy our Article of our Faith That Christ rose again the third Day Divers other scriptures might be alleadged as that of Pilates wifes Dream about Christ the first Day of the three * Mat. 27.19 compared with Job 33.14 17. from that which the chief Priests and the Pharisees did upon the preparation day when they came to Pilate and would have the Sepulcher kept until the third day Job least his Disciples should come by night and steal him away and say unto the people he is risen from the Dead * Mat. 27.62 64. And also how they gave larg mony unto the Souldiers * Mat. 18.11 14. saying say ye His Disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept And if this come to the Governours eares we wil perswade him and secure you But this is sufficient not only to overthrow the opinion of those that would exclude the night as if it were no part of the Lords day or Sabbath as if they might follow their Trades in the night of our holy solemnity so they do but keep the fourteenth part of the week not minding that the night is part of the large natural day of 24. hours which is the seventh part of the week As also it reproveth those that begin not to rest till the morning and hold it from morning to morning thereby altering from the Creation for from the Creation the Evening was before the Morning And God said not from morning to morning but from Even to Even * shall you rest your Sabbath tell what songs and sounds will best please the company to draw their minds
