till_o the_o lordsday_n be_v past_a certain_o there_o be_v no_o impossibility_n nor_o improbability_n but_o it_o may_v so_o since_o therefore_o this_o text_n of_o st._n luke_n inform_v we_o only_o that_o this_o meeting_n and_o sermon_n begin_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n that_o the_o sermon_n last_v till_o
