I shall close this with what another noteth on this place:1 The Apostle did ordain in the Church of Corinth, when they met for Religion weekly (as the Lord's Days returned) Alms should be collected for the Poor's use; ⟨p. 257⟩and what they seem privately to have laid aside, as their condition permitted, to bestow for the comfort of the Poor; and that which was thus laid aside, they kept with themselves till the First-day of the Week, when they deposited it with the Rulers of the Church for the Poor's use. He that shall more considerately weigh the Apostle's Phrase, may well enough see this was his meaning: for he saith [Greek or Hebrew], &c. i. e. against the First-day in every Week, or when the first of every Week comes; so as it is said among the Grecians, [Greek or Hebrew], i. e. Water ready for washing ones hands. In like manner the Alms which were privately laid aside of every one, were deposited on the First-day of the Week for the help of the needy; and then when the Church met, are said to be gathered, because their Collections were made (of those who privately had laid it aside) on the Lord's Day, or on the First-day of the Week.
