Quis enim non videat, a quartadecima usque ad vicesimam primam, non septem solummodo, sed octo potius esse dies, si et ipsa quartadecima annumeretur? Sin autem, ut diligentius explorata Scripturae veritas docet, a vespera diei quartaedecimae usque ad vesperam vicesimae primae computaverimus, videbimus profecto quod ita dies quartadecima vesperam suam in festi paschalis initium prorogat, ut non amplius tota sacra sollemnitas quam septem tantummodo noctes cum totidem diebus comprehendat; unde vera esse probatur nostra definitio, qua tempus paschale primo mense anni et tertia eius hebdomada celebrandum esse diximus.
For who cannot see, that from the 14th to the 21st be not only 7 days but rather 8, if the 14th be itself also reckoned in? But if we will count from the evening of the 14th day to the evening of the 21st (as the verity of Holy Scripture diligently searched out doth declare) we shall well perceive that the 14th day continueth its evening to the beginning of the Paschal feast in such manner that the whole sacred solemnity containeth only 7 nights with as many days; wherefore our decision is proved to be true, wherein we said that the time of Easter must be kept in the first month of the year and the third week of that month.
