3. Observe it, if the morrow after the Sabbath, Levit. 23. had been the Morrow after the Passover, this would often have fallen on the weekly Sabbath: for the Passover being fixed upon the 15th of Nisan, whenever this 15th of Nisan fell upon the Friday, the morrow after it must be Saturday, and so they must begin to reap their Harvest on the weekly Sabbath against the express Command of God.
The Hebrew Doctors foresaw this Inconvenience, and had no other way to salve it, but by affirming that this reaping did drive away the Sabbath, and that it was lawful on the Sabbath-day. A most impious Opinion! for it crosses the very Letter of God's Law, in •aring-time and harvest thou shalt rest.
4. The morrow after the Sabbath, at the beginning ⟨p. 196⟩of their Account, must be such a Morrow as concludes it, Levit. 23. 15, 16. therefore it could not be the morrow after the Passover-Sabbath, or any Festival; for there was no such Sabbath at the end of any Account whatsoever.
