together_o of_o which_o number_n the_o sabbath_n day_n must_v needs_o be_v one_o judg._n 14._o 10_o 12._o gen._n 29._o 27_o 28._o and_o this_o be_v a_o common_a rule_n among_o the_o jew_n that_o

of_o a_o feast_n and_o it_o be_v further_a to_o be_v note_v that_o while_o our_o saviour_n be_v present_a at_o this_o feast_n he_o find_v no_o fault_n with_o the_o act_n of_o feast_v but_o only_o with_o some_o corrupt_a circumstance_n which_o do_v accompany_v this_o feast_n 1_o he_o find_v fault_n with_o some_o of_o the_o guest_n because_o they_o choose_v out_o the_o uppermost_a seat_n 2_o he_o seem_v to_o reprove_v the_o governor_n of_o the_o feast_n because_o he_o invite_v his_o rich_a friend_n only_o vers_fw-la 12._o but_o christ_n tell_v he_o it_o have_v be_v more_o suitable_a to_o

will_v either_o have_v decline_v the_o invitation_n or_o else_o he_o will_v have_v bear_v witness_n against_o it_o a●_n a_o sinful_a practice_n but_o he_o do_v neither_o of_o these_o therefore_o it_o

lawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o kindle_v a_o fire_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prepare_v warm_a food_n for_o infirm_a and_o weak_a stomach_n which_o be_v almost_o in_o every_o family_n as_o
