A91155	A briefe polemicall dissertation, concerning the true time of the inchoation and determination of the Lordsday-Sabbath. Wherein is clearly and irrefragably manifested by Scripture, reason, authorities, in all ages till this present: that the Lordsday begins and ends at evening; and ought to be solemnized from evening to evening: against the novel errours, mistakes of such, who groundlesly assert; that it begins and ends at midnight, or day-breaking; and ought to be sanctified from midnight to midnight, or morning to morning: whose arguments are here examined, refuted as unsound, absurd, frivolous. Compiled in the Tower of London, and now published, for the information, reformation of all contrary judgment or practise. By William Prynne of Swainswick Esq;.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1654 (1654)	Wing P3916; Thomason E814_11	82,955	107

All dayes therefore in divine computation began and concluded at Even since all the dayes of mens ceremoniall uncleannesse did so which uncleannesse might befall them upon any day whatsoever Fifthly it i● perspicuous by the Israelites solemne Easting-dayes which commenced and ended at Even For they usually fasted untill Even Judges 20. 23. 26. 2 Sam. 1. 12. Their dayes therefore b●ing but the limits of their Fasts for they fasted sometimes h one day sometimes two dayes sometimes three or more did question lesse begin and determine at Even in their own and Scripture computation Sixthly it is apparent by Deul 21. 22 23. If a man be p●● to death and thou hang him on a tree his body shall not remain all night upon the tree but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day compared with Joshua 8. 29. and cap. 10 26. 27. And the King of Ai he hanged on a tree untill eventide and assoon as the Sunne was down Joshua commanded that they shouldtake his careasse down from the tree c. And he smote the five Kings and hanged them on five trees and they were hanging upon the trees untill the Evening and at the time of the going down of the Sun Joshua commanded and they took them down off the trees and cast them into the Cave wherein they had been hid c. compared with Joh. 19. 31 38. Mat. 27. 57. 58. Mar. 15 42 43. The Je●s therefore because it was the preparation that the bodies should n●● remain upon the Crosse the Sabbath day for that Sabbath day was an high day besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away And when the i Even was come that is the Evening of the Day about Sunne-setting or Evening tide Joseph of Arimathea went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus then Pilate commanded the body to be given him And he took it down and wrapped it in linnen and laid it in his own tomb Which Texts paralell'd with Ephes. 4. 26. Let not the Sun go down upon your wrath do fully evidence that the day in divine resolution begins and ends at Even because the bodies of Malefactors which were to b● buried the same day and might not remain on the tree all night were then taken down and interred Seventhly That speech of David to Jonathan 1 Sam. 20. 5. Let me go that I may hide my self in the fields unto the third day at Evening annexed to that of 1 Sam. 30. 17. And David smote them from the twilight even to the Evening of the next day is a direct proof that the Scripture begins the day at Even making it part of the subs●quent not of the precedent day as these phrases unto the third day at evening and to the evening of the next day import Eighthly and lastly It is clear by the joynt confession of all sorts of Authors of all Commentators on the fore-quoted and the ensuing Texts that the Penmen of the Scriptures who were guided by the Holy Ghost with the whole Jewish Church Nation directed by the same Spirit and the Scripture computation did ever begin and end their daies at evening not at morning or midnight as the Jews k yet doe A truth so evident that our Opposites in this point of the Lordsday's inchoation for the most part grant it without any contradiction having nought else to plead for themselves but this that Christs resurrection in the morning did translate the beginning of days from evening to the morning Therefore it is undoubtedly true that all daves in scripture and divine resolution begin and end at Evening So that this first Conclusion is uncontrolable For he second That the seventh day Sabbath in Scripture account did ever begin and end at Evening and that the Jews did constantly solemnize it from Evening to evening it is most apparent For first All dayes in Scripture and Jewish computation commenced and concluded at Evening as the former Conclusion manifests therefore the seventh day Sabbath too Secondly the Scripture peremptorily commands this beginning and close of the Sabbath Levit. 23. 32. From EVEN to EVEN ye shal celebrate your Sabbath which though it be specially meant of the Sabbath of Attonement yet it is true of the seventh day sabbath too it being the original pattern by which the Sabbath of attonement was squared and thus bounded out Thirdly It is apparent by Nehem. 13. 19. And it came to passe that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath that is when the twilight began I commanded that the Gates should be shut and charged that they should not be open till after the Sabbath and some of my servants set I at the gates that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day By which it is evident that the seventh day sabbath began at Evening not at morning or midnight For why should Nebemiah command the gates of Jerusalem to be shut just as it began to be dark a little before the l Evening star began to appear when the Evening Sabbath actually begin but to prevent Carriers and others who brought burdens into Jerusalem from prophaning the Sabbath which would have begun before they could have passed to their Innes and unladed their burdens had they admitted them to have entred the gates so late the Sabbath being to begin almost presently after when the day light ceased and the starres began to appear which had it not commenced till midnight or morning following he would not have closed up the gates so early since they might have unladed their Carriages a good space before the Sabbath though they had not entred Jerusalem till the twilight ended His timely shutting up of the gates therfore to prevent this breach of the Sabbath by unlading burdens is a m pregnant evidence that it began at Even soon after or just when the gates were barred Fourthly it is clear by Luke 23. 54 55 56. compared with Luke 24. 1 2. Mark 16. 1 2. c. 15. 42 43. John 19. 31 38. cap. 20. 1. c. Matth. 27. 57. 58. By all which it appears that our Saviours body was taken down from the Crosse and laid in the Sepulchre upon our Friday at Evening a little before night and that they took it down and buried it then that it might not remain on the Crosse upon the Sabbath day to which Saint Luke addes this as a Corollary n And that day was the Preparation and the Sabbath drew on and the women also which came with him from Galilee followed after and beheld the Sepulehre and how his body was laid they returned and prepared Spices and ointments and rested the Sabbath
