1 Corinthians16:2

Verſe 2. Ʋpon the first day] The Chriſtian Sabbath, the Lords-day, as the Greek Scholiaſt well renders it: which to ſanctifie was in the Primitive times a badge of Chriſtianity. When the queſtion was propounded, Servaſti dominicum? Haſt thou kept the Lords-day? The anſwer was returned, Chriſtianus ſum; intermittere non poſſum, I am a Chriſtian, I can do no leſſe then keep the Lords-day.D King on Jonas, Lect. 7. But the world is now grown perfectly profane (ſaith one) and can play on the Lords-day without book. The Sabbath of the Lord, the ſanctified day of his reſt is ſhameleſly troubled and diſquieted.

Lay by him in ſtore] Gr. As a treaſure, 1 Tim. 6.18. Manus pauperum gazophylacium Chriſti. The poor mans box is Chriſts treaſury.

As God hath prospered him] Gr. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Given him a good arrivall at the end of his voiage, and enabled him: for we may not ſtretch beyond the ſtaple, and ſo ſpoil all.
