Itaque post aequinoctialem solis exortum, post plenilunium primi mensis hunc ex ordine subsequens, id est, post completam diem eiusdem mensis quartam decimam, quae cuncta ex Lege observanda accepimus, exspectamus adhuc monente Evangelio in ipsa hebdomada tertia tempus diei Dominicae, et sic demum votiva paschae nostri festa celebramus, ut indicemus nos non cum antiquis excussum Aegyptiae servitutis iugum venerari, sed redemptionem totius mundi, quae in antiqui Dei populi liberatione praefigurata, in Christi autem resurrectione completa est, devota fide ac dilectione colere, utque resurrectionis etiam nostrae, quam eadem die Dominica futuram credimus, spe nos certissima gaudere signemus.
To conclude therefore, after the equinoctial rising of the sun, after the full moon of the first month orderly following the same, that is to say, after the 14th day of the said month is fully ended (the observation of all which we have received from the Law), we do yet in the selfsame third week (as the Gospel warneth) wait for the time of Sunday, and thus at length celebrate the consecrated festival of our Easter, to shew that we do not with the ancients honour the shaking off of the yoke of Egyptian bondage, but that with devout faith and love we honour the redemption of the whole world, prefigured in that deliverance of the ancient people of God, but fully ended in Christs resurrection, and to the end we may signify that we rejoice in the assured hope of our resurrection also, which we believe shall be on the same Lords day.
