institution_n of_o sacrifice_n before_o abel_n sacrifice_v though_o it_o be_v not_o record_v when_o because_o god_n accept_v his_o sacrifice_n so_o he_o have_v accept_v the_o service_n upon_o the_o

for_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o text_n that_o paul_n continue_v there_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o be_v there_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n that_o

you_o see_v we_o have_v it_o for_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n and_o shall_v this_o signify_v nothing_o surely_n what_o ever_o it_o do_v with_o other_o it_o signify_v much_o with_o i_o 2._o second_o it_o be_v far_o observe_v that_o the_o one_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o disciple_n speak_v of_o act_n 1._o and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o more_o with_o they_o meet_v together_o distinct_o from_o the_o

upon_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o may_v be_v undeniable_o demonstrate_v the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v bury_v on_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o six_o day_n that_o day_n be_v the_o first_o

they_o shut_v the_o door_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o old_a sabbath_n the_o same_o that_o the_o jew_n do_v and_o as_o they_o themselves_o former_o have_v do_v thus_o much_o of_o the_o apostle_n practice_n now_o it_o can_v be_v show_v that_o ever_o they_o give_v any_o respect_n to_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o the_o day_n of_o holy_a rest_n unto_o the_o lord_n after_o christ_n resurrection_n that_o of_o their_o preach_v sometime_o on_o that_o day_n be_v upon_o another_o account_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v already_o neither_o do_v it_o

the_o day_n before_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n christ_n be_v not_o rise_v and_o for_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v evident_a they_o show_v all_o respect_n after_o the_o resurrection_n to_o the_o first_o of_o seven_o none_o to_o the_o last_o of_o seven_o and_o further_o it_o be_v not_o nothing_o what_o be_v record_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o that_o he_o appear_v so_o often_o unto_o his_o disciple_n on_o that_o day_n for_o though_o i_o lay_v not_o so_o much_o stress_n upon_o it_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v other_o have_v do_v for_o it_o be_v very_o

here_o to_o avoid_v as_o you_o say_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v repetition_n hereafter_o they_o be_v as_o follow_v 1._o first_o that_o all_o day_n material_o consider_v in_o themselves_o be_v equal_a
