Thesis 69.
There are some who confess that the Jewish Sabbath began at the evening ever since the Creation unto the time of Christs resurrection▪ but now they tell us that it begins in the morning, because of Christs Resurrection (the cause of it) which began then; so that as this makes the change of the day, so it makes a change of the beginning of the day from evening till morning when the Resurrection of Christ began: but the feebleness of this opinion will appear from these ensuing considerations.
