The third place is Acts 20.7. and upon the first day of the week, when the Disciples came together to break bread Paul preached unto them, &c. where it is clear, 1. That this meeting was for public Worship, as the breaking of Bread and Preaching intimateth. 2. That there is some observableness in this Circumstance, that it was on the first day of the week, and that that day is mentioned rather then any of the former six days in which he had been there at Troas, though it's more than probable they had meetings and preaching on them also; but this is the only and great difference, that their meetings on these days were occasional, and it may be but partial (to speak so) but the solemn chief sixth meeting of all, was usually and ordinarily on the First day. 3. This coming together on that day for these ends is spoken of, as a thing that was not new, nor occasional; but as their customary, constant, known, Practice; they came together purposely to break bread and to wait on other Ordinances. 4. It's clear, that by special applying of these Exercises to that day, and by mentioning of the day for that end, that, that day was their most solemn day, and that the Old Seventh day was not so (at least necessarily) employed by them. 5. Neither is it like, That Paul, who was ready to depart, would have stayed for the first day of the week, if there had not been some solemn worship in that, or that he would have passed the old seventh day-Sabbath, especially to the marring of his other occasions had they been equal, if more sanctification had been required in it, then in the First day of the week, or that he would have so much insisted in religious public worship on that day, if the former Seventh had been employed in that service, but here the Church being constituted of believing Gentiles, there is no mention of the old Sabbath, but as of another common day of the week; yea 6. Pauls spending this whole day in that service, and continuing his Sermon till midnight (yet accounting it still one day) in solemn meeting doth confirm this day to be more than an ordinary day, or then other days of the week, as being specially dedicated to these Services and Exercises, and totally spent in them. 7.
