the_o keep_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o that_o heaven_n &_o earth_n can_v not_o stand_v if_o circumcision_n be_v omit_v therefore_o they_o make_v the_o eight_o day_n before_o circumcision_n to_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 many_o of_o christ_n disciple_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o be_v circumcise_v and_o so_o oblige_v to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n and_o great_a be_v the_o punishment_n which_o god_n threaten_v and_o inflict_v on_o the_o transgressor_n such_o as_o strike_v a_o

nor_o defend_v themselves_o against_o their_o enemy_n on_o that_o day_n and_o the_o crime_n for_o which_o the_o disciple_n be_v complain_v of_o be_v rather_o for_o transgress_v their_o tradition_n than_o any_o precept_n of_o god_n for_o if_o the_o fault_n be_v their_o walk_n through_o the_o cornfield_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o they_o exceed_v 2000_o cubit_n which_o be_v allow_v by_o

saviour_n answer_v the_o objection_n by_o the_o instance_n of_o david_n eat_v the_o shewbread_n yet_o be_v hungry_a their_o necessity_n may_v excuse_v they_o nor_o be_v this_o forbid_a though_o perhaps_o contrary_a to_o a_o superstitious_a practice_n of_o they_o for_o which_o the_o heathen_a upbraid_v they_o i.e._n their_o sabbath-day_n fast_n therefore_o christ_n vindicate_v they_o as_o guiltless_a upon_o the_o plea_n in_o the_o text_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v you_o pharisee_n do_v not_o understand_v the_o substantial_a and_o spiritual_a part_n of_o your_o own_o law_n for_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v not_o contumacy_n or_o contempt_n in_o the_o neglect_n of_o ceremonial_a precept_n but_o the_o excuse_n of_o a_o just_a necessity_n or_o the_o rational_a consideration_n of_o a_o great_a good_a to_o outweigh_v that_o neglect_n god_n will_v not_o impute_v it_o as_o a_o sin_n of_o this_o our_o saviour_n convince_v they_o by_o the_o instance_n of_o david_n v._o 4._o and_o of_o the_o priest_n in_o the_o temple_n profane_v the_o sabbath_n by_o dress_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o say_v in_o the_o temple_n there_o be_v no_o sabbath_n if_o then_o the_o service_n of_o the_o temple_n excuse_v the_o priest_n for_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n the_o service_n of_o christ_n who_o tell_v they_o of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v great_a than_o the_o temple_n v._o 6._o may_v excuse_v his_o disciple_n who_o be_v prophet_n and_o preacher_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v great_a than_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v of_o john_n the_o baptist_n matth._n 11.11_o now_o a_o prophet_n even_o under_o the_o law_n be_v above_o the_o law_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o may_v sacrifice_v in_o any_o place_n as_o elias_n do_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v unlawful_a for_o christ_n disciple_n so_o earnest_o attend_v his_o work_n that_o they_o become_v hungry_a have_v no_o other_o provision_n to_o eat_v a_o few_o grain_n of_o corn_n for_o their_o present_a relief_n again_o our_o saviour_n tell_v they_o v._o 8._o that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o himself_o as_o the_o messiah_n who_o have_v power_n to_o abrogate_v and_o alter_v the_o sabbath_n be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o though_o not_o so_o clear_a because_o matth._n 16.20_o he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o yet_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o if_o our_o saviour_n have_v make_v this_o his_o argument_n he_o need_v not_o to_o have_v use_v any_o other_o other_o therefore_o think_v that_o by_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v mean_v every_o son_n of_o man_n for_o christ_n himself_o be_v not_o blame_v but_o his_o disciple_n who_o he_o pronounce_v guiltless_a for_o this_o reason_n the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o s._n mark_n express_v more_o plain_o to_o this_o purpose_n mark_v 2.27_o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n and_o so_o the_o argument_n stand_v thus_o that_o which_o be_v make_v for_o another_o thing_n be_v to_o give_v place_n to_o that_o for_o which_o it_o be_v make_v but_o the_o
