The resurrection was Tipified to be on the first day of the 50 by the Wave-Sheaf of first fruits which was a pregnant Type of Christs resurrection on that day who was waved before the Lord by the Earthquake at his rising that morning and called the first fruits * 1 Cor. 15.20 And the 50 day that famous Pentecost was Sealed for a New Sabbath by the gift of the holy Ghost to the Apostles by vertue of which 3000 souls † Act 2.41 were converted as first fruits to God and the Lamb. And this Harmony hath been a Confirmation of this opinion viz Christs death on the Sixth day for many generations Min. If so its high time it was laid low I hope the best of that Bp he was no horned Beast but this his opinion I approve not If I had no better foundation for my opposite opinion I am not ashamed to tell you I should be ashamed to own it This is such another Proof as Adams fall was and to as much purpose as the Story in the Greek Epigram viz Two deaf men pleaded a Cause before a deaf Judge But let us look on these 50 dayes The 50 dayes discussed in the letter of the Law And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath from the day that ye brought the Sheaf of the Wave-offering 7 Sabbaths shall be complete even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number 50 dayes * Lev. 23.15 16. This morrow or Wave-day is the first of the 50 dayes 7 weeks is 49 dayes the morrow after the seventh Sabbath is the fiftieth day as the Greek word Pentecost signifies and when the day of Pentecost was Fully come † Act. 2.1 i e when the seventh Sabbath was past the 7 weeks were complete then the Pentecost was fully come N B The 50 day begins another week on the same day of the week that the first day of the 50 began the first week of the 7 so that the first day and 50 day fall both on the same day of the week This a Child can tell but I mind you of it though a man that you may see your 2 great dayes for confirmation of your opinion Stand and Fall together And now I tell you these 2 dayes did not fall on the first day of the week Your famous Pentecost fell Not on the first day But why do I talk let us to work That the Passeover was killed on the 14 day that the Passeover Sabbath was on the 15 day on which Jesus died and that the Sheaf was waved on the 16 of Nisan is as plain as A B C by your rule Jesus rose from the dead the next day after his death buried at Even and rose in the Morning But suppose Jesus had rose on this Shake-sheaf day † As your Author calls it yet what Type of Christs resurrection was this Sheaf there was an he-lamb without blemish * Lev. 23.12 offered on that day too which was as much a Type of Christs Death on that day as the Sheaf could be of his Resurrection by this rule Jesus both died and rose in a day into what a wildernesse will the wit of man lead us N B This wave-day on which you say Jesus rose was the first day he lay in the grave if your Author had said The lamb was a Type of Jesus's death Before that day and the wave-sheaf a Type of his resurrection After that day there had been some shadow of Reason in his assertion So you may see that your Pentecost proof is perished and your invincible Arguments are overcome Fath. You say the Jews translated the Passeover to the next day did they not also translate the Pentecost from their Sabbath to our Sabbath and so make it fall on the first day Min. If so that proves a false Pentecost to fall on the first day but it s no proof for Christs resurrection on the Wave-day nor is the Pentecost to be reckoned from Christs resurrection as our Calender men count but the 16 of Nisan is the Standing Rule to count the Pentecost from Calender count false 2 If the Pentecost fell on the 7 day Sabbath the Jews would translate it to the first day by their rule 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Gahaz Godwyn but that year the Pentecost did not fall on the 7 day nor on the first day not on their Sabbath nor on Ours neither Fath. If the Pentecost fell not on the first day why did the Disciples observe it and countenance Ceremonies which were to cease Min. The Disciples being few about 120 † Act. 1.15 were at Jerusalem because Christ had commanded them to continue there * Ver. 4. The Pentecost being an holy Convocation in which work was forbid † Lev. 23.21 the Disciples might meet on that day though the Pentecost was to cease as a Church may do now if work be forbid by Authority though they approve not the day 2 Suppose the Pentecost not to be observed yet the Disciples might not understand the cessation of Ceremonies so suddenly they were hardly brought off Ceremonies some years after 3 The Pentecost keeping the day of the month changed the day of the week every year and could not be on the first day 2 years together Paul's Pentecost practice yet it was Pauls yearly practice to be at Jerusalem at Pentecost e g I will tarry at Ephesus untill Pentecost for a great door and effectual is opened unto me * 1 Cor. 16.8 9. i e at Ephesus and yet q d I will tarry but till Pentecost and then I am for Jerusalem When they desired him to tarry longer with them he consented not but bad them farewell saying I must by All means keep this Feast that cometh in Jerusalem † Act. 18.20 21. Paul hasted if it were Possible for him to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost * Ch. 20.16 Not because it was the first day as your Authors imagine of this † Act. 2.1 for the first day was the unlikest day of All for Christians to regard the Pentecost after Christs resurrection because on that day they met in remembrance of That Nor to support the Pentecost though he went on the account of no other day but for advantagious opportunities of preaching Jesus to the Jews Paul could call the Gentiles together but he could not command the Jews therefore he would watch for such Prizes as Ceremonial Sabbaths pun into his hands by bringing the multitude together And sometime for his encouragement he had liberty of preaching in their Synagogue on a Sabbath freely offered the rulers of the Synagogue sent unto them saying Ye men and brethren if ye have any word of exhortation for the people say on then Paul stood up as in his Element and said Men of Israel give audience * Act. 13.15 16. And Paul thought good to smile on some Ceremonies for a season for

an holy Convocation * Exo. 12.15 16. These were Ceremonial Sabbaths and commonly called Sabbaths But it s the first day of the 7 which falls under our consideration viz the 15 day of the month which you may see called a Sabbath † Lev. 23.11 15. N B THIS is the Sabbath which the Jews made to follow Jesus's Funeral and which you suppose to be the 7 day Sabbath Fath. Suppose Ay well let that passe at present Then it seems this Sabbath should have been that day on which Jesus died Min. It s well observed and by this I see you observe what I say The 15 day of the month on which Jesus died was the day but they deferred it to the day following and called the 15 day preparation day * Jo. 19.42 Fath. Why did they so Min. As when a fixt Fair falls on Sunday Jews Translation the Countrey keeps it on Munday so if this Passeover Sabbath fixed on the 15 day of the month fell on some certain dayes of the week the Jews had a Custome to Translate it to the next day by their Rule 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Badu † Godwyn of which one Eleazar is said to be the Author who lived 350 years before Christs Birth * Hospinian de Orig fest P6 N B That this Sabbath was thus translated a man can no more deny than he can deny the Day to Spring or the Sun to Shine Fath. I cannot deny it but then I believe it was translated from the 6 day to the 7 day and so a double Sabbath Ceremonial and Moral and on that account called a high day † Joh. 19.31 Min. That I deny and this I affirm The high Sabbath no Sabbath that as to the Day it was no Sabbath at all Ceremonial nor Moral but one of their own invention Hence sometime it hath no Sabbatical Title e g John speaking of the day of Jesus's death saith It was the preparation of the Passeover * Joh. 19.14 it s no more but Passeover Matthew speaking of this high Sabbath calls it The next day that followed the day of Preparation † Mat. 27.62 Strange a Sabbath a Double Sabbath a High day and no other Title but the next day Thus God is pleased to drop words to see what notice men will take of them Fath. HOW no Sabbath why then is it called a High Day Min. The right day was a high day for on it Israel went out of Egypt with an high hand * Exo. 14.8 Why a High Sabbath And it was for a Monument of their miraculous deliverance e g This day shall be unto you for a Memorial † Ch. 12.14 Remember this day in which ye came out from Egypt * Ch. 13.3 And thou shalt shew thy son c † Ver. 8. And it shall be for a Sign unto thee upon thine hand and for a Memorial between thine eyes * Ver. 9. And many such Solemn injunctions to remember this day with wonder viz That Pharoh who stood so many a Storm like a person Plague-Proof should rise up in the night † Ch. 12.30 and call for Moses and Aaron and say Go serve the Lord as Ye have said * Ver. 31. also take your Flocks and your Herds as Ye have said and be gone and blesse me also † Ver. 32. That six hundred thousand men besides women and children should be pulled out of Prison from two hundred years Tyranny and all in One night a night INDEED to be much observed to the Lord * Ver. 42. Upon this account that Sabbath day was an High day † Joh. 19.31 Good Josiah and some few Princely Persons spent at this Passeover oxen bullocks and small cattel forty one thousand 41400 cattel killed and four hundred * 2 Chro. 35.7 8 9. this was an High day And whether they kept the right day or the wrong it was all one in their esteem they pretended Reason for its Translation And in case of necessity Hezekiah translated this Passeover to the Second month † 2 Chro. 30.2 and in such case there was an allowance * Num. 9.6 to 11. N B This temporal deliverance on the 15 day was a Type of Eternal deliverance by Christs death on the same day of the year And though this temporal deliverance was long before Christs death yet it was by Vertue of Christs death who was virtually slain before the First Passeover was killed This then should have been an High day on Christs account but him the carnal Jews laid Low they killed Christ on the Right day and kept the Passeover Sabbath on the Wrong Fath. Blesse us no Sabbath but the Scripture calls it a Sabbath Min. So does the Scripture call the Devil Samuel 5 times in few words † 1 Sam. 28.12 to 20. Satan called Samuel and does not once tell us it was the Devil In calling the Devil Samuel God tells us what Saul and the Witch called him and leaves it with us to Judge whether a wicked Silly Witch had power to bring Samuel Soul and Body from Heaven and Earth So in calling that a Sabbath God tells us what the Jews called it and leaves it with us to Judge whether Jesus or the Jews were likest to break Gods Law If that was a C Sabbath not translated Jesus was a Sinner not a Saviour Fath. I know not what to say of the translation of the day But for Jesus's dying on the 6 day the Scripture is clear besides invincible Arguments I have yet to bring The Scripture saith Jesus rose on the first day you dare not deny it and though it does not say Jesus died on Fryday or the 6 day yet in saying he died the day before the Sabbath and rose in the end of the Sabbath * Mat. 28.1 I think it s as plain as if the 6 day had been named Min. Mistake not the State of our difference We differ not about the day of Jesus's Resurrection except the Time of the day viz you for the Morning the midst of the day I for the Even the beginning of the day But our difference is in the day of Jesus's Death you say it was on the 6 day I deny it and do plainly tell you your proof by Inference from Scripture is no better than a Blind Conjecture Let me hear your invincible Arguments also Fath. I have read in learned Authors The R d Bp of for One. that the two dayes which bounded the feast of 7 weeks viz the first day and the 50 day fell that year both on the first day of the week That the first day of the 50 followed the Passeover Sabbath is as clear as the Sun † Lev. 23.11 15. seeing Jesus rose on that first day and lay dead on the 7 day and died the day before it s also as clear as the Sun that he died on the 6 day Moreover saith my Author
