And therefore to Translate the words in Gen. 1: so was the Evening, so was the Morning the first day; and then and this gloss and interpretation, viz. That out of the premisses of Night and Day, so was the Evening mixed of them both; so was the morning also compounded of both, to wit of Night and Light: this I say is but words; here is no proof for such an interpretation. Junius Translation is best and most clear, and rational, viz. So was the Evening and the Morning of the first day: for as hath bin said the whole time of Night is never called by the name of Morning; let any man show the least Tittle in any Scripture it, and I will yield to them in this cause.
