And the Corinthians, as they received the Lord's Supper upon that day, which none queſtion,ſo they had their Feaſts,as 1s confeſſed and apparent from 1 Cor:11. 21,22, &c. 4.The kindling of a fire was no greater hinderance to the religious obſet» vation of the Sabbath, than other things which were allowed upon thar day,ſuch as the waſhing and trefiing of themſelves,cating and drinking, &c. $5. This prohibition doth not ſeem to concern the drefſing of meat, as many underſtand it, by comparing this with Exod: 26: 23. ( which place I humblic conceive is miſunderſtood, as I. have there intimared, for that was lawful to be done upon their moſt ſolemn days, Eo: 12. 16:) but the ſervice of the Tabernacle which is the ſubje& of this Chapter,and the occaſion of theſe words: and the ſenſe ſeems to be this Ve ſhall kindle no fire for any hand 4 work throughout your habitation ; no not for the ſervice of this Tabernacle, for the heating of any Tools, or the melting of an Merals, or other things belonging to it, which being to be bay for God's ſervice, and deſerving and requiring all expedition, the might probably conceive thar ſuch work might be done upon the day. And here alſo; as oft elſewhere, under one kind, all the reſt are comprehended and forbidden.

How then comes this to be menrioned here ? Anſw. 1. The ſhew-bread may be here pur for the Veſſels for the receiving the Shew-bread, by an uſual Metonymy of the adjun&, the thing contained put for the thing conraining, as treaſures are put for the place where the Treaſures are pur, Pſal: 13 5+ 7: Math: 2: 11: and 12: 35: and the gifts or offerings of God, for the Treaſury where they were put, Luke 21. 4. Hence Tremelins renders this place, ans the Veſlcls of the ſhew-bread, Obj. Al the Veſſels of the Table are mentioned before, of whic this was one: Av}. Ir 1s not unuſuz! after a general expreſſion comprehending all diſtin&tly, ro name one eminent member of that kind, ſuch as this unq eſtionably was, the Tavle being made principa'ily for this uſe. Thus Mark 16 7. Tell my Diſciples and Peter. Like Examples are in 2 Sam: 2: 39: 1 Kings 11: 1: Pſal: 18: the Title. As 11: 4: and in other Authors.
