thing_n be_v observable_a from_o this_o record_n of_o maymony_n 1_o that_o the_o jew_n do_v make_v some_o kind_n of_o preparation_n both_o to_o their_o festival-sabbaths_a and_o to_o their_o sabbath_n or_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_n and_o forward_o 2_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n do_v not_o esteem_v any_o part_n of_o the_o evening_n before_o their_o sabbath_n to_o be_v as_o holy_a as_o the_o day_n follow_v because_o they_o do_v neither_o scourge_n nor_o excommunicate_v any_o man_n for_o work_v in_o the_o evening_n before_o their_o sabbath_n as_o they_o do_v for_o work_v in_o the_o passeover_n evening_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o they_o esteem_v both_o the_o part_n of_o the_o passeover-evening_n to_o be_v the_o very_a day_n of_o the_o passeover_n itself_o but_o it_o seem_v they_o do_v not_o esteem_v the_o evening_n before_o the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v any_o true_a part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n itself_o for_o doubtless_o if_o they_o have_v esteem_v it_o as_o a_o true_a part_n of_o the_o sabbath_n itself_o they_o will_v not_o only_o have_v scourge_v and_o excommunicate_v such_o person_n that_o do_v presume_v to_o work_v in_o the_o evening_n before_o the_o sabbath_n but_o also_o they_o will_v have_v stone_v they_o to_o death_n if_o they_o have_v presumptuous_o break_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a sabbath_n numb_a 15._o 35._o and_o as_o maymony_n make_v the_o evening_n of_o the_o passeover_n not_o like_o the_o evening_n that_o go_v before_o their_o festival_n sabbath_n nor_o like_o the_o evening_n that_o go_v before_o their_o weekly_a sabbath_n so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o evening_n that_o go_v before_o the_o day_n of_o atonement_n that_o it_o be_v more_o strict_a for_o holy_a rest_n than_o the_o evening_n that_o go_v before_o any_o of_o the_o other_o sabbath_n from_o all_o the_o premise_n i_o conclude_v that_o no_o day_n in_o all_o the_o year_n be_v command_v to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o length_n for_o strict_a rest_n as_o this_o day_n be_v for_o the_o strict_a rest_n of_o this_o day_n and_o the_o strict_a fast_o of_o this_o day_n begin_v in_o the_o sacrifice_n evening_n or_o else_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o latter_a evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n and_o it_o continue_v not_o only_o till_o a_o little_a after_o the_o sunset_n evening_n of_o the_o ten_o day_n as_o maymony_n say_v but_o also_o it_o continue_v long_o for_o some_o of_o the_o holy_a duty_n of_o the_o ten_o day_n can_v not_o be_v finish_v till_o midnight_n after_o for_o 1_o the_o priest_n must_v eat_v their_o part_n of_o the_o public_a sin-offering_a num._n 29._o 11._o which_o must_v be_v eat_v in_o the_o same_o day_n in_o which_o it_o be_v offer_v leu._n 6._o 26._o as_o other_o sacrifice_n be_v leu._n 7._o 15_o 18._o and_o yet_o the_o priest_n can_v not_o eat_v the_o holy_a flesh_n of_o this_o public_a sin-offering_a till_o after_o sunset_n for_o the_o fast_o of_o this_o day_n be_v not_o full_o end_v till_o after_o sunset_n and_o therefore_o also_o they_o may_v not_o begin_v to_o cook_n that_o holy_a flesh_n until_o the_o fast_a be_v full_o end_v hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o same_o day_n do_v still_o continue_v till_o after_o sunset_n yea_o until_o it_o be_v midnight_n 2_o the_o priest_n have_v another_o work_n to_o do_v within_o the_o limit_n of_o this_o ten_o day_n namely_o they_o must_v burn_v all_o the_o fat_v and_o piece_n of_o all_o the_o public_a evening-sacrifice_n of_o this_o day_n which_o be_v many_o and_o some_o of_o their_o evening-sacrifice_n be_v also_o offer_v near_o unto_o sunset_n and_o therefore_o this_o work_n and_o duty_n of_o burn_a will_v require_v not_o only_o the_o more_o diligence_n but_o also_o the_o more_o time_n to_o finish_v this_o be_v 〈…〉_o â—ay_v of_o atonement_n be_v sweet_a savour_n upon_o the_o lord_n altar_n in_o its_o own_o proper_a day_n as_o i_o have_v note_v the_o command_v season_n thereof_o more_o at_o large_a in_o leu._n 6._o 9_o 3_o it_o appear_v that_o some_o of_o the_o work_n which_o appertain_v to_o the_o morning-sacrifice_n of_o this_o ten_o day_n must_v begin_v at_o

the_o burn_a of_o all_o the_o evening-sacrifice_n of_o this_o day_n till_o midnight_n as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o from_o leu._n 6._o 9_o and_o yet_o over_o and_o above_o this_o full_a day_n from_o

to_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a long_a fasting-sabbath_n hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o day_n can_v be_v allege_v as_o a_o exemplary_a pattern_n neither_o for_o the_o

this_o they_o allege_v the_o example_n of_o nehemiah_n he_o be_v say_v to_o shut_v up_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n when_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v dark_a before_o the_o sabbath_n neh._n 13._o 19_o they_o expound_v the_o word_n before_o and_o the_o word_n dark_a in_o favour_n of_o their_o opinion_n thus_o 1_o the_o word_n before_o the_o sabbath_n they_o say_v do_v mean_a just_a before_o the_o

somewhat_o more_o than_o the_o light_n in_o the_o sky_n for_o as_o long_o as_o the_o light_n in_o the_o sky_n be_v more_o than_o darkness_n they_o say_v the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o
