causes of fasting Christ answered the Pharisies and Iohns disciples Then Iohns disciples came and said The Pharisies fast oft and we But thy disciples vnaffraid Do eate and drinke abroade with thee Then Iesus said the children sure Mourne not while that the feast endure But when the Bridegroome shall be gone Then they will all fast at that day No man doth patch a new piece on An old garment it rents away The law obserued is by thee The Gospell makes the other free New wine will burst the bottels sure If they be old therefore I say Sith ceremonies may endure No longer time but must delay Let new wine haue new vessels then And be contented with these men Christ healed a woman that had bin sick of a bloudie issue twelue yeares and raised Iayrus daughter from death As Christ with Iairus thence did go To raise his daughter lately dead A woman sick twelue yeares or moe With touching him of health was sped And after that where they did see The maide from death deliu'red he Christ gaue sight to the blind When Iesus did from him depart Two blind men meeting him did crie Thou sonne of Dauid ease our smart Beleeue ye then said Christ that I Can helpe ' yes Lord said they then he Did touch their eyes and made them see Christ casteth out a deuill and maketh the dumbe man to speake Againe they brought a dumbe man there Possessed with a deu'll but he Cast out the deu'll to their great feare And the dumbe spake which Christ made free The people maruaild yet some said He had done it by Satans aide So Iesus went from place to place Teaching and healing eu'ry one To all that sought he did giue grace He was of great compassion The labourers are few said he Yet is the haruest great yee see At the poole of Bethesda Christ healed a man that had bene diseased 38. yeares and being accused defended his fact After all this against the feast Of Passeouer which then was nie Christ Iesus that tooke little rest Vnto Ierusalem did hie That holy Sabaoth of the Lord The Iewes obseru'd with one accord Christ at Ierusalem then found A multitude of sicke and lame About Bethesda lying round Abiding till the Angell came When as the Angell stird the poole The water still made one man whole Christ by that poole a man did see That had lyen sicke there very long Wilt thou be whole oh man said he Sir I want helpe among this throng Rise thou said Christ thy bed vp take For perfect whole I do thee make Christ heal'd him on the Sabboth day Whereat the Iewes were grieued sore And sought our Sauiour Christ to slay Rewarded thus he was therefore The Iewes accusing Christ do moue Him iustly them for to reproue To whom the father witnessed And Iohn did testifie the same The Scriptures also verified As did his works so full of fame That he the sonne of God should be The stubburne Iewes him would not see Christ defended his Disciples accused for plucking eares of corne on the Sabboth Three feasts the Iewes kept yeare by yeare And chiefest Sabboth dayes did call Of the same feasts it doth appeare The Passeouer was first of all This they the feast of sweet bread name On this day they from Egypt came The next was that whereon God gaue The law by Moses vnto men That day in reuerence we haue The holy Ghost was giuen then This some the feast of weekes do say Some Pentecost some Whitsonday The feast of Tabernacles last Came of these three in order there Those feasts were neuer fully past Till all their dayes accomplisht were The first and last day of each feast Were counted chiefe of all the rest The seu'nth day also through the yeare Is was and so shall be for aye With them and Christians eu'ry where In solemne wise a Sabboth day Though theirs and ours do disagree One day with them obserue not we Christ passed thorough a corne field Vpon the second Sabboth day This doth to many matter yeeld To reason when he went that way Some say it was in Easter feast The last and chiefe day of the rest That day the first doth answer well And so the second Sabboth day Men might it call it did excell The middle dayes as all men say And there withall time of the yeare This reason good makes to appeare Some thinke it was on Whitsonday Because this Sabboth second was As they suppose and that no way The first did the same Sabboth passe These reasons both may please all such As selfe-will leades not ouermuch That day a Sabboth day was sure When the Disciples plucked corne Which thing the Iewes could not indure They did the act most vilely scorne Not knowing him that went that way To be Lord of the Sabboth day The cause they did not waigh withall That hunger then did cause the same The Pharisies on Christ did call And his Disciples fowlie blame They did prefer tradition Before their owne saluation But Christ said vnto them againe What Dauid did who hath not read Now his example doth remaine Though Dauid lye a good while dead These do as he did them before When he and his did hunger sore He had the meate that was forbid These breake you thinke the Sabboth day They do as he and his then did Find fault with him yet no man may The Priests do in the Temple so The Sabboth breake yet free they go One greater then the Temple is And here he standeth verely Mercy will I not sacrifice Learne what this meaneth faithfully Then will you not condemne this day These innocents that hurt no way The sonne of man is Lord likewise Yea euen of the Sabboth day Shall I then these so much despise Or suffer them for foode decay Though fault with them you find so soone The law allowes what they haue done The day is made all men to serue And no man made to serue that day Should not man then his life preserue Vpon the Sabboth if he may The law that bindeth man so fast To finish I am come at last Christ healed one in the Synagogue on the Sabboth day that had a withered hand and answered his accusers Now Christ disposed to beat downe Their grieuous superstition Went shortly after to their towne To reason of this question And to the Synagogue he went The fittest place for his intent For there was alwayes most resort Which was our Sauiours Christs desire That many men might haue comfort All his affection was on fire This his deuise to further then Fell out a worke among those men A man there with a withered hand Was present in that very place They said giue vs to vnderstand If law allow men so much grace As to be cured on this day Christ to accuse they sought a way Christ answered to them againe
