Though the Disciples read, and meditated, and prayed, and sung apart, and there by kept up communion with GOD, yet  they came together to worship GOD , and so they kept up their communion with one another. They came together on the 1st day of the week, the LORD's day. It is to be religously observed by all disciples of CHRIST. In the breaking of bread, not only the breaking of CHRIST's body for us, to be a sacrifice for our sins, is remembered, but the breaking of CHRIST's body to us, to be food and a feast for our souls, is signified. In the early times it was the custom to recieve the LORD's supper every LORD's day, thus celebrating the memorial of CHRIST DEATH. In this assembly Paul preached. The preaching of the gospel ought to go with the sacriments. They were willing to hear, he saw they were so, and continued his speach till midnight.

    Sleeping when hearing the WORD is an evil thing. A sign of low esteem of the WORD of GOD. We must do what we can to prevent being sleeply;  not put ourselves to sleep, but get our hearts affected with the word we hear, so as to divine sleep far away. Infirmity requires tenderness; but contempt requires serverity. It interupted the Apostles preaching, but was made to confirm his preaching. Eutychus was brought to life again. And as they knew not when they should have Paul's company again, they made the best use of it they could, and reckoned a nights' sleep well lost for that purpose. How seldom are hours of repose broken for the purposes of devotion! But how often for amusement or sinful revelery! So hard is it for Spiritual life to thrive in the heart of man! So naturally do carnal practices florish there (ACTS 20:7) !
