Although the Evening may be called by humane custom all §39that part of the day wherein we wish men good. Even from noon till Sun-set, yet its then called the Evening in respect ⟨p. 46⟩of the Artificial not Natural day, of which Moses speaks when he divides the day into Morning and Evening, part of which afternoon is also called Evening by the Holy Ghost in Scripture; because it is either approaching or hastening toward the Evening of the natural day, or contiguous to it: even as part of the dark Night is sometime called Morning, because it is either contiguous or not far from the Morning light, and men are then usually up, and preparing for it.
