he_o say_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o you_o be_v meet_v together_o namely_o according_a to_o your_o usual_a custom_n let_v every_o one_o of_o you_o lay_v by_o he_o in_o

christian_n meet_v together_o or_o as_o the_o apostle_n phrase_n be_v when_o they_o be_v meet_v namely_o according_a to_o their_o usual_a and_o constant_a custom_n to_o worship_n god_n than_o he_o do_v exhort_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o something_o for_o the_o poor_a for_o that_o day_n be_v a_o good_a day_n for_o their_o soul_n and_o therefore_o that_o season_n be_v a_o good_a season_n to_o lay_v aside_o something_o for_o the_o poor_a saint_n that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n every_o first_o day_n be_v not_o full_o express_v in_o the_o greek_a text_n but_o yet_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o consequence_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v glory_n of_o their_o willing_a mind_n to_o they_o of_o macedonia_n say_v that_o

upon_o some_o one_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o no_o more_o as_o some_o will_v have_v the_o text_n to_o speak_v doubtless_o therefore_o they_o do_v lay_v aside_o something_o either_o every_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o at_o least_o usual_o when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o in_o so_o do_v their_o zeal_n be_v exemplary_a to_o

it_o have_v be_v put_v into_o the_o box_n of_o the_o poor_a for_o in_o this_o phrase_n let_v every_o one_o of_o you_o lay_v by_o he_o in_o store_n the_o apostle_n do_v thalmudize_n as_o relate_v therein_o to_o a_o certain_a custom_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o vow_v something_o to_o the_o poor_a for_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n say_v that_o alms_n be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o general_a of_o vow_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o say_v thus_o lo_o this_o shekel_n or_o this_o shilling_n be_v a_o alm_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a out_o of_o hand_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o poor_a present_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o separate_v it_o and_o to_o lay_v it_o up_o till_o he_o find_v some_o poor_a see_v ain_n in_o deut._n 23_o 21._o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v lay_v this_o duty_n of_o vow_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n corinth_n and_o macedonia_n namely_o that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v separate_v something_o for_o the_o poor_a and_o lay_v it_o up_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o for_o that_o day_n be_v a_o fit_a day_n for_o that_o duty_n than_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n do_v add_v this_o to_o their_o former_a speech_n that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v purpose_v to_o give_v such_o a_o quantity_n to_o the_o poor_a but_o in_o his_o heart_n only_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o pay_v it_o 3_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v by_o christ_n institution_n the_o day_n of_o public_a worship_n in_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n will_v never_o have_v give_v direction_n to_o the_o church_n to_o separate_v something_o for_o the_o poor_a when_o they_o be_v me●_n together_o on_o that_o day_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v profess_v that_o in_o such_o matter_n he_o ordain_v nothing_o in_o the_o church_n but_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 11._o 23._o and_o that_o the_o thing_n

the_o sabbath_n and_o all_o their_o passover_n before_o sunset_n for_o after_o sunset_n the_o blood_n of_o all_o sacrifice_n become_v unlawful_a because_o god_n have_v express_o command_v all_o
