Nor will it follow from Levit. 7.15. with 22.29, 30. and §66Ex. 12▪10. that because the ••esh of the peace Offerings was to be eaten the same day, and nothing to be left until the Morning (something like this being spoken also of the Passover) that the day therefore begun in the Morning: for in Leviticus there is a double Commandment, 1. To eat the flesh of their peace offerings the same day; but yet because when they have eaten, some bones and o•fals might remain, hence, 2. They are commanded to leave nothing till the Morning, which doth not argue that they had liberty to eat it as long as they might keep it, but that as they had liberty no longer then the same day to eat it, so nor liberty any longer then the next Morning so much as to keep any of the relics of it: And as for the Passover (a place much urged by some) they were to kill it on the fourteenth day, Exod. 12.6. which they might eat the night following, verse 8. yet so as to leave nothing of it till the Morning, verse 10. This night following i• not therefore any part of the fourteenth, but of the 15th. day: for at midnight there was a cry verse 30, 31. and this night they went from […] to Succoth, verse 37. with 46. and this time is expressly called the morrow after the Passover, Numb. 33.3. ⟨p. 60⟩nor is there any inconvenience or rule broken to kill the Passover upon one day and continue eating of it some part of another, the Passover being a Feast of more days then one.
