Gratian Distinct. 75. and all Canonists on this place of his, upon the words of Pope Leo Epist 81. cap. 1. conclude thus, that the Lords Day begins at Evening: Non passim (say they) di…bus omnibus sacerdotalis vel levitica ordinatio celebretur, sed post diem Sabbati ejus que noctis quae in prima Sabbati luc…s…it, exordia consecrandi deligantur. Quod ejusdem observantae eritsi mane ipso Dominico die continuato Sabbati jej…nio celebretur, à quo tempore praecedentis noctis initia non recedunt. Quod ad diem resurrectionis (sicut etiam in Pascha domini declaratur) pertinere non est dubium, &c. His qui consecrandi sunt nunquam benedictio nis in die Dominicae resurrectionis tribuatur, cui à vespere Sabbati initium constat ascribi. Dies Dominica initium habet à vespere Sabbati; & vespera praecedentis noctis trahitur ad diem sequentem, ut sive de vesp…re in Sabbato, sive de mane in Domini…o ordines conferantur semper in die Dominico videantur conferri.

Tit de Ferijs. …ol. 74. with all other Canonis…s Tit de Ferijs, & Ioannis de Burgo Pupilia oculi pars 9. cap. 6. De Ferijs. D…E. lay downe this for an infallible maxime. Quod abstinendū est à servilibus operibus omni die Dominica abhora vespertina diei Sabbati inchoando, non ipsam horam praeveniendo. Quod feriationem tenere debemus à vespera in vesperam. Quod debemus festum incipere, quantum ad feriationem à vespera in vesperam; scilicet ab ultima parte diei praecedentis seu vigiliae. Quod dies diversis modis incipit & desinit: nam quoad celebrationem divinarum, consideratur de vespera in vesperam: quoad judicia, de mane in vesperam, & sic de luce in lucem: sed quoad contractus, de media nocte in mediam noctem: And this hath beene the received resolution of all former ages, which should over-b…llance all new opinions.
