and to rise from the dead the Third day and that Repentance and Remission of Sins was to be Preached in his Name among all Nations whereof they were to be his Witnesses and Apostles ver 44 45 46 47 48. And did renew his Promise of sending the Holy-Ghost and Power from on high v. 49. He did moreover at the same meeting not only upbraid them for their unbelief Mark 16. 14. but did Authorize them with a solemn Commission for the Work they were to be sent abqut to Go into all the World and Preach the Gospel to every Creature that he who believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he who believeth not shall be damned ver 15 16 and a Power to work Miracles ver 17 18 in confirmation of that Doctrine And to the same purpose Iohn 20 19. The same day at Evening in which he before appeared to Mary Magdalen and the rest being the First day of the Week the very day of his Resurrection where the Disciples were assembled at a private meeting for fear of the Iews the door being shut Iesus came and stood in the midst of them and gave them his Solemn Benediction saying unto them Peace be unto you And in Confirmation of his Resurrection shewed them his hands and his side ver 20. And then a Second time gives them his Solemn Blessing together with his Ordination or Commission for Preaching the Gospel and Planting the Christian Church Iesus saith to them Again Peace be unto you As my Father hath sent me even so send I you And when he had said this he breathed upon them and said unto them Receive the Holy Ghost Who 's soever Sins ye remit they are remitted to them and who 's soever Sins ye retain they are retained ver 21 22 23. All which being put together seems to me very like the Celebration if not the Consecration of a Christian Sabbath or day of Holy Rest and Religious Service 'T is all of it Sabbatical Work and there is a great deal of it 'T is not indeed expresly said That he did bid them thus to meet on such other First day of the Week as neither is it expresly said Gen. 2. 3. that God did then bid Adam and Eve to keep a Weekly Sabbath or that he did bid them to offer Sacrifice but it is very likely Christ might so order it and more likely than that he did not For that they did so meet we are sure and therefore 't is very likely if not a strong presumption that they were bid so to do For so we find it Ioh. 20. 26. After Eight days that is as we commonly speak in English on that day Sennight his Disciples were again within and Thomas with them who before was absent the door being shut then Iesus came and stood in the midst and said Peace be unto you as he had done the Week before and satisfyed Thomas who before doubted So that we have here Two Solemn meetings of the Disciples Two Weeks together the Two first after his Resurrection on the First day of the Week and Christ with them on both And I am sure we have not more for the First Sabbath Gen. 2. 3. On how many more such Sabbaths he so met with them I cannot tell That he oft appeared to them during the Forty days of his abode on Earth after his Resurrection we cannot doubt and its like it might be on these days The Cavil which here he makes to this place is so weak that I am sorry to see it from one who would seem to be serious As if Eight days after or after Eight days were not the same as what we would say a Week after or that day Sennight after For he must needs know that 't is not only the Common Scripture Language but the general Language of Latine and Greek Writers to reckon Inclusively that is to take in both the extreams and so it is even at this day I think in most Languages except English What we call a Sennight the French call huict jours Eight days and what we say a Fortnight is with them Quinze jours Fifteen days and so in all manner of reckoning A Fourth a Fifth an Eighth a Fifteenth and other Intervals in Musick are always so reckoned What we call a Third-day-Ague the Latins call a Quartan and what we call every other day they call a Tertian So they call Secundo Calendas i. e. Secundo die ante Calendas what we would say one day not two days before the Calends and they call tertio Calendas what is with us two days not three days before the Calends So nudius tertius is what we would say two days ago and nudius quartus is in our Language Three days ago not Four So Mark 8. 31. where Christ speaks of himself that the Son of Man should be killed and After three days rise again that is on the Third day after inclusively taken or after the Third day is come whereas according to the sense this Author would put upon the words it should rather have been said after one day for there was but one day between his Death and Resurrection And it is the same in sense with what he says Ioh. 2. 19. Destroy this Temple speaking of his Body And in Three days I will raise it up 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or as Mat. 26. 61. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is the Third day after inclusively And Mat. 27. 63. they tell Pilate This Deceiver said After Three days I will rise again 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 meaning thereby the Third day after inclusively and therefore they pray that the Sepulchre may be made sure till the Third day Whereas if as our Author would reckon upon his fingers by after Three days were to be understood when Three whole days after that should be past they need not set their Watch before the Fourth or Fifth day Thus Christ's Ascension is said to be Forty days after his Resurrection speaking of a Scripture Computation in Scripture Language which in our ordinary manner of Speech is but Nine and Thirty For Ascension-Thursday if Easter-day be not reckoned for one is but 39 days after Easter Upon a like Account that Christ tells us Mat. 12. 40. that as Jonas was three days and three nights in the Whales Belly so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth Not Three whole days and Three whole nights but till the Third was begun For by day and night is here understood the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or what we now call the Artificial day consisting of 24 hours day and night and till such Third day or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was begun Christ rested in the Grave otherwise though he were in the Grave part of Three days yet but Two nights So Luke 2. 21. When Eight days were accomplished for the Circumcision of the Child they called his name Iesus that is upon the Eighth
