Thesis 97.
Its said the women who prepared spices for our Savio••• body, that they rested the Sabbath, which is evident to be in the evening; and this they did not superstitiously (as some say) but according to the Commandment, Luk. 23.53, 54, 55, 56. if therefore these women began to rest according to the commandment of God upon the evening, then the evening by the same Commandment is the beginning of the holy Rest of the Sabbath. It is not only the commandment of God, that one day in Seven be sanctified, but also that it be sanctified from even to even.
