how_o much_o we_o know_v too_o well_o that_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o most_o man_n be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o in_o so_o much_o that_o even_o they_o of_o the_o university_n that_o make_v it_o

it_o appear_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o story_n that_o this_o be_v then_o ordinary_a though_o not_o in_o all_o place_n at_o the_o first_o for_o this_o meeting_n be_v not_o upon_o this_o

a_o usual_a thing_n in_o the_o church_n to_o receive_v it_o every_o sabbath_n and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n paul_n preach_v and_o because_o he_o be_v to_o depart_v on_o the_o next_o day_n and_o so_o they_o know_v not_o when_o they_o shall_v hear_v he_o again_o therefore_o he_o continue_v preach_v so_o long_o as_o he_o do_v unto_o which_o may_v be_v adjoin_v that_o which_o he_o write_v to_o the_o
