it_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o david_n and_o his_o man_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o eat_v the_o shewbread_n which_o by_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v appoint_v for_o no_o man_n use_n

to_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n yet_o they_o be_v also_o blameless_a hence_o learn_v 1._o whatsoever_o bodily_a work_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o promove_v of_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o a_o break_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o the_o priest_n do_v bodily_a work_n in_o the_o temple_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n and_o be_v blameless_a 2._o as_o the_o body_n be_v above_o the_o figure_n or_o shadow_n so_o be_v christ_n great_a than_o the_o temple_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o therefore_o say_v he_o in_o this_o place_n be_v one_o great_a than_o the_o temple_n ver._n 7._o but_o if_o you_o have_v know_v what_o this_o mean_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n you_o will_v not_o have_v condemn_v the_o guiltless_a the_o three_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o lord_n never_o appoint_v the_o outward_a ceremony_n of_o his_o service_n in_o the_o first_o table_n to_o hinder_v work_n of_o mercy_n prescribe_v in_o the_o second_o

that_o time_n therefore_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n will_v that_o my_o disciple_n shall_v rather_o pluck_v corn_n and_o eat_v it_o on_o the_o sabbath_n by_o way_n of_o mercy_n to_o their_o

breach_n as_o i_o please_v therefore_o if_o i_o judge_v this_o work_n of_o my_o disciple_n to_o be_v no_o fault_n neither_o shall_v you_o hence_o learn_v 1._o that_o the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o word_n or_o second_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o it_o do_v not_o diminish_v his_o divine_a authority_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n even_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o christ_n can_v maintain_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o four_o command_n and_o appoint_v
