The Latin word pridie is a derivative (or compound rather) from prae, prior; and postridie from post, posterior: and accordingly (in Latin) pridie Calendarum must signify a day before the Calends. But can any man think it is meant of any day? No, but the next day before.
So if we say, Christ was crucified one day before the Sabbath, and rose again one day after the Sabbath: This one day is the next day. And so any man who hath not a mind to cavil will understand it. And so [Greek or Hebrew], one ⟨p. 227⟩day after the Sabbath, must needs be understood of the next day after the Sabbath, nor is it ever used in any other sense. If it were to be understood of any day indefinitely, it should be [Greek or Hebrew], some day after the Sabbath; not [Greek or Hebrew], one day after. Thus Dr. Wallis.

And so 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, one ⟨p. 227⟩day after the Sabbath, must needs be understood of the next day after the Sabbath, nor is it ever used in any other sense. If it were to be unstood of any day indefinitely, it should be 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, some day after the Sabbath; not 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, one day after. Thus Dr. Wallis.
See how hard these men are put to it, in labouring to cast away, nay tread under-foot the glorious day of our Lord's Resurrection. And 'tis strange to see how men, to maintain their Errors, will quarrel and find fault with the Translation of our Bible.
