that_o time_n of_o 18_o or_o 20_o hour_n long_o half_o of_o which_o will_v have_v tire_v both_o himself_o and_o his_o auditor_n if_o not_o before_o our_o sunday_n at_o evening_n as_o they_o pretend_v than_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o lordsday_n begin_v not_o till_o sunday_n evening_n because_o st._n paul_n and_o the_o disciple_n at_o troas_n meet_v not_o together_o to_o solemnize_v it_o till_o then_o then_o that_o it_o end_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n begin_v at_o morning_n or_o midnight_n because_o this_o assembly_n dissolve_v not_o till_o morning_n and_o paul_n continue_v his_o preach_n until_o midnight_n seven_o if_o this_o example_n conclude_v any_o thing_n positive_o for_o the_o objector_n it_o be_v only_o this_o that_o they_o shall_v continue_v their_o ordinary_a lordsday_n evening_n sermon_n until_o midnight_n and_o their_o assembly_n till_o day_n break_v as_o st._n paul_n and_o the_o disciple_n do_v here_o this_o inference_n follow_v

inference_n i_o suppose_v they_o will_v all_o disclaim_v in_o word_n as_o they_o do_v in_o practice_n as_o be_v a_o non-sequitur_n because_o this_o example_n be_v but_o singular_a and_o

too_o as_o he_o see_v occasion_n why_o then_o may_v not_o his_o sermon_n at_o troas_n begin_v upon_o the_o lordsday_n at_o evening_n about_o our_o evening_n sermon_n time_n and_o yet_o continue_v 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
