A78514	The seventh-day Sabbath· Or a brief tract on the IV. Commandment. Wherein is discovered the cause of all our controversies about the Sabbath-day, and the meanes of reconciling them. More particularly is shewed 1. That the seventh day from the creation, which was the day of Gods rest, was not the seventh day which God in this law commanded his people to keep holy; neither was it such a kinde of day as was the Jewes Sabbath-day. 2. That the seventh day in this law commanded to be kept holy, is the seventh day of the week, viz. the day following the six dayes of labour with all people. 3. That Sunday is with Christians as truly the Sabbath-day, as was Saterday with the Jewes. / By Thomas Chafie parson of Nutshelling.

common use with the Jewes which began at noon and the evening of the day in their sacred account which began at Sun-setting as I shewed before g See chap. 2. On the fourteenth day of Abib they were commanded even the whole Assembly to kill the Paschal Lambe between the two evenings h Exod. 12.6 as it is according to the Hebrew text and to eat the same at the beginning of their sacred day of the Passeeover which began at Sun-setting k Deut. 16.6 Luke 22.14 Their taking the Lamb killing skinning and making it coole and fit for roasting yea the roasting it and preparing it with herbs for the table al was to be done between the two evenings before the setting of the Sun The killing their Passeover very likely was about that very time of the day when Christ our Passeover was slain which was between the two evenings The former of the two evenings mentioned by Moses a Exod. 12.6 began at noon at the beginning of the seventh houre of the day with the Jewes So Lyranus According to the Hebrew Doctors the Evening here mentioned beginneth from the seventh houre for at that time the Sun beginneth to incline toward the West d Lyra. on Ex. 12.6 The seventh houre with the Jewes ever began at noon as their first houre began at Sun-rising Masius f Masius on Iosh 5. on Joshua confirmeth the same also But if any doubt hereof let him look only in Buxtorfius his Lexicon g Buxtor lex edit Basil An. 1645. at the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 where he makes it cleare that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Between the two evenings which was the time for killing the Paschal Lambe mentioned in the 12. of Exodus had its beginning from noon at the end of the sixth houre or beginning of the seventh proving the same also out of learned Authors as well Rabbines as others CHAP. V. Of the difference between those foure kindes of dayes HAving shewed what all and every of those foure kindes of dayes are I will now shew how they differ from each other First the Artificial day differeth from all the other three in that it hath only day-light and no night but endeth at Sun-setting whereas the other have night as well as day-light Secondly the Universal day differeth from horizontal dayes and meridional dayes in two respects 1. The Universal day is constant and unalterable it cannot be made longer or shorter by all the wit and industry man can use much lesse may a day thereof be gotten or lost by mans indeavour But week-dayes with all People whether they be Horizontal or Meridional dayes may be either lengthened by travelling Westward or shortened by travelling East yea a whole day may thereby be either gotten or lost and so he that was the first-born may become the younger brother as in the Law-Case between John and Johannes I will not affirm the story to be true but it will serve to illustrate the truth of what I before said and let it be taken as I had it William Douse of Portingh had by his wife Hellen two sonnes at one birth within one houre and either of them was named John but for distinctions sake the father and others called the younger Johannes When they came to be five and twenty years of age John the elder obtained moneys and leave of his father to travel with Sir Francis Drake when he made his voyage round the world Johannes lived at home with his aged father his mother being dead but did so mis-behave himself toward his father that the old man by his continual vexation became so weak and faint that he despaired of life yet before he died he heard that his son John was returned into England safe with Sir Francis Drake whereupon he caused his Will to be altered and new written wherein he gave all his goods and chattels to John his elder sonne saving only ten pounds which he gave to John his younger sonne and shortly after died When John had heard of his fathers death he hasted home but before his coming Johannes had in possession and disposed of all his fathers goods and chattels left Of all which Iohn at his coming home demanded the possession to whom Iohannes tendred only ten pounds telling him that was all which his father gave him and therewithal gave him a Copy of his fathers Will telling him also that he by his travel had lost a day of his age and that he himself was Iohn the elder when his father made his last Will and being possessed of the goods he meant to keep them Iohn seeing his brothers resolution would not finger the ten pounds but took the Copy of the Will and hasted to Plowden commonly called Ployden the Lawyer to him he opened his Case and shewed the Copy of the Will craving his Counsel Ployden having perused the Will demanded of Iohn who was first-born that was I quoth Iohn and my brother doth and will acknowledge that Why then your Case is good and sure and the goods are all undoubtedly yours quoth Ployden but yet tell me under what pretence doth your brother claim and detain them Why quoth Iohn he saith that by my voyage that I made with Sir Francis Drake round about the world I lost a day of my age and so he at the making of the Will was the elder and so layeth claim to all Sir Francis Drake quoth Ployden did take such a voyage indeed but did you travel the whole Circuit with him It is true quoth Iohn I did Nay then the case is altered quoth Ployden and you have lost a day of your age indeed You be Iohn Primogenitus but your brother is Iohn Senior This is strange quoth Iohn we kept a most exact account of every dayes journey till we came home Can you shew when or where we should lose a day You lost not your day quoth Ployden at any one longitude nor at one time but by little and little Answer me one question quoth Ployden and thereby you shall make this clear your self It is a Problem that Plutarch hath and now is common in use The ship Argos in which Iason sailed for the golden fleece when the voyage was ended was laid up in the Road for a monument where decaying by little and little they alwayes pieced it anew where it wore away till in the end the whole substance of the old vessel was gone and nothing remained thereof but only the figure which every where was answerable to that of the old Now tell me whether this ship was the very same in which Iason sailed or another diverse from it and if another when was it changed Sure quoth Iohn it could not be the same ship and it was altered by little and little and at no time wholly altered till at the last Just so quoth Ployden may I say for the day you have lost you lost it not all at one time but by little
