day it self The lesser Evening is the latter part of the day it self As for morning there is the morning watch and the morning it self And the large day consisteth of twenty four hours even a night and a day as hath been shewed or a night day as Paul speaketh * 2 Cor. 11.25 Now these things being considered as a preparation whereby you may understand how I reckon the day branching it out in the several parts thereof I come now to give you several grounds for my practise of keeping the Lords day from Evening to Evening THe first is because that God from the Creation ordered the Evening to go before the Morning before ever the Sun or Moon were Created It s said the Evening and the Morning was the f●rst day * Gen. 1.5 The Evening and the Morning was the second day * v. The Evening and the Morning was the third day * v. And the same Order followeth throughout the whole Week After the Sun was made to rule the day and the Moon to rule the night the Evening and the Morning was the fourth day * v. 19 where we see The Evening is placed before the Morning as it followed the fifth and sixth day * v. 23.1 And the Prophet David setting forth the Order of Gods Creation saith in the hundred and fourth Psalm * Psalm ●04 19 24. He appointed the Moon for seasons the Sun knoweth his going down Thou makest darkness and it is night wherein all the Beasts of the Forrest do creep forth The young Lyons roar after their prey and seek their meat from God The Sun ariseth they gather themselves together and lay them down in their Dens Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the Evening Wherein we may see he placeth the night before the day in respect of time for the darkness which was called night was before the light which was called day And God caused the light to shine out of darkness unto which the Apostle alludeth orderly in his spiritual applications to the Corinthians saying God who Commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts giving the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ * 2 Cor. 4.6 MY second ground why I keep the day which God hath made * Psa 118.24 holy from Even to Even is from Gods institution and Commandement unto Israel saying in Leviticus * Levit 23.32 From Even to Even shall ye rest your Sabbath And that Sabbath which God Commands to be sanctified is a large day of twenty four houres the night going before the day of twelve hours as is n●ted before which time is the seventh part of the week And as we are not to take part of one day to make up another day so we are not to take part of one week to make up another week for the days and weeks remain as from the Creation The beginning of the day begins with the Evening therefore the beginning of the week begins with the Evening also and so from Even to Even the Jews were Commanded to celebrate their Sabbath And this was well known to the Jewes which made them when Christ was crucified upon the preparation day before their Sabbath to make such hast because that the Sabbath was coming on for the ninth hour was come before Jesus bowed the Head and gave up the Ghost * John 9.30 34. The Jews therefore because it was the preparation that the bodies should not remaine upon the Cross on the Sabbath-day for that Sabbath-day was a high day besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away Then came the Souldiers and brake the legs of the first and of the other that was crucified with him But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already they brake not his legs c. Now if the Sabbath had not begun at Evening but at Midnight or Morning in all probability they would not have made such haste to break the legs of them that were crucified wherby they might dy speedily and so be taken away immediatly seeing that then they would have had a long time even till midnight or day to bury them in and especially considering that Jesus was dead already and it was probable that the other two would not have lived long after him but that there might have been time enough to have buried them before midnight And another reason which confirmeth it that the Jewes then began their Sabbath at Evening appeareth from Johns Testimony which saith * v. 41.42 That in the place where he was crucified there was a Garden and in the Garden a new Sepulcher wherein was never man yet layed There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jewes preparation day for the Sepulcher was nigh at hand Now the Lords day began when the Jewes Sabbath ended But the seventh day Sabbath began at Even and ended at even there●ore the Lords day Sabboth beginneth at even and is to be celebrated from Even to Even MY third ground why I begin this Honourable day at Even and so keep it from Even to Even is from the practise of the Godly and particularly of Nehemiah * Neh. 13.19 which testifieth saying and it came to pass that when the Gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath I Commanded that the Gates should be shut and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath and some of my Servants set I at the Gates that there should no burthen be brought in on the Sabbath-day So the Merchants and sellers of all kinds of Wares lodged without Jerusalem * v. 20.21 once or twice then I testified against them and said unto them why lodge ye before the Walls c. MY fourth ground why I keep the day from Even to Even is from the consideration of the Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ who declared that as Jonas was 3 days and 3 nights in the Whales Belly so should the Sun of man be 3 days 3. nights in the heart of the Earth * Mat. 12.40 Now Jesus Christ was crucified on the sixth day of the week and died after the ninth hour was come and was buried before the twelfth hour of the day and lay all night and the next day and the next night so that of nights there is but two at the utmost And if he should have layn another night he could not have risen the third day for then it would have been the fourth day But the Scripture declareth and we are bound to believe that he rose again the third day which was the first day of the week and therefore in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ we are to account the days as it was from the Creation the Evening and the Morning is a large day of twenty fower hours which being considered together a part
