Hic enim est altera dies Sabbati, (in hâc enim resurrectio facta est) qua hebdomadae numerantur septem, usque ad alterum diem expletionis hebdomadae. Dominicâ rursus die Pentecosts celebramus festivitatem, in quâ Sancti Spiritus adventum meruimus. aWhere you may observe by the way, that although this Author made a little bold to strain the signification of altera dies Sabbati, (which in Moses denoteth no more than the morrow after the Sabbath) yet he maketh no scruple to call the day of Christs Resurrection another Sabbath day, as in the Council of Friuli also (If I greatly mistake not the matter) ⟨p. 60⟩3
