to_o the_o dead_a since_o according_a to_o the_o mosaic_a law_n none_o can_v touch_v they_o without_o be_v pollute_v insomuch_o that_o those_o who_o take_v care_n of_o their_o burial_n can_v have_v

objection_n may_v be_v make_v concern_v the_o honour_n of_o burn_a so_o often_o mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n from_o whence_o some_o infer_v that_o the_o dead_a among_o the_o jew_n be_v sometime_o

wherefore_o we_o answer_v that_o those_o burn_n mention_v in_o scripture_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n and_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o corpse_n but_o of_o sweet-scented_n wood_n and_o perfume_n which_o they_o consume_v to_o a_o vast_a expense_n at_o the_o funeral_n of_o their_o king_n and_o other_o person_n of_o the_o high_a quality_n chap._n xvi_o funeral_n of_o the_o
