the_o christian_n at_o troas_n observe_v this_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o their_o sabbath_n no_o doubt_n but_o this_o their_o meeting_n to_o solemnize_v it_o and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n on_o it_o be_v rather_o that_o evening_n which_o begin_v than_o that_o which_o end_v the_o lordsday_n in_o their_o account_n else_o they_o shall_v have_v begin_v its_o solemnization_n only_o when_o it_o end_v whiâ—h_n be_v improbable_a but_o our_o sunday_n evening_n on_o which_o some_o affirm_v this_o meeting_n end_v not_o commence_v the_o lordsday_n in_o their_o account_n they_o ever_o begin_v their_o day_n the_o evening_n before_o as_o the_o premise_n manifest_a therefore_o this_o assembly_n be_v on_o our_o saturday_n evening_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o meeting_n the_o day_n or_o evening_n before_o 2._o because_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o next_o succeed_a age_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o the_o follow_a testimony_n do_v ever_o begin_v their_o lordsday_n assembly_n and_o solemnity_n on_o saturday_n evening_n solemnize_n it_o from_o evening_n to_o evening_n because_o the_o first_o observer_n of_o it_o do_v so_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o these_o christian_n at_o troas_n do_v so_o too_o 3._o because_o saint_n luke_n record_v that_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o this_o meeting_n

more_o than_o probable_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v the_o saturday_n evening_n when_o the_o lordsday_n begin_v not_o the_o sunday_n night_n when_o it_o end_v when_o this_o divine_a assembly_n be_v

even_o in_o the_o account_n of_o such_o who_o affirm_v it_o end_n at_o midnight_n and_o because_o this_o beginning_n of_o their_o assembly_n when_o the_o day_n begin_v make_v most_o for_o the_o

will_v be_v object_v first_o that_o saint_n paul_n depart_v from_o troâ—_n the_o very_a next_o morning_n at_o daybreak_n objection_n which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v have_v it_o be_v part_n of_o
