buy_v that_o so_o you_o may_v bring_v down_o the_o price_n of_o the_o commodity_n and_o get_v it_o for_o less_o than_o it_o be_v worth_a there_o be_v a_o know_a place_n of_o scripture_n for_o this_o in_o prov._n 20._o 14._o it_o be_v naught_o it_o be_v naught_o say_v the_o buyer_n but_o when_o he_o be_v go_v his_o way_n than_o he_o boast_v people_n in_o solomon_n time_n they_o be_v so_o wicked_a that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o market_n to_o buy_v any_o thing_n the_o buyer_n he_o will_v discommend_v the_o commodity_n &_o say_v it_o be_v naught_o though_o it_o be_v very_o good_a and_o

that_o you_o will_v give_v no_o more_o for_o a_o commodity_n than_o what_o you_o have_v first_o offer_v when_o afterward_o you_o will_v give_v more_o this_o be_v a_o very_a common_a thing_n with_o

away_o for_o commodity_n you_o sin_n in_o do_v so_o though_o you_o yourself_o take_v it_o for_o commodity_n 4._o do_v not_o give_v for_o a_o commodity_n less_o than_o in_o your_o conscience_n you_o think_v it_o be_v worth_a it_o be_v a_o oppression_n in_o buy_v when_o you_o seek_v to_o bring_v a_o commodity_n under_o its_o due_a value_n and_o worth_n abraham_n when_o he_o be_v to_o buy_v the_o

you_o have_v buy_v when_o thou_o have_v by_o thou_o wherewithal_o to_o pay_v it_o there_o be_v a_o excellent_a place_n for_o this_o in_o prov._n 3._o 27_o 28._o withhold_v not_o good_a from_o they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v due_a when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o thy_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o say_v not_o unto_o thy_o neighbour_n go_v and_o come_v again_o and_o to_o morrow_n i_o will_v give_v when_o thou_o have_v it_o by_o thou_o this_o text_n be_v refer_v to_o work_n of_o mercy_n but_o it_o have_v relation_n to_o buy_v and_o sell_v and_o trade_v in_o the_o world_n if_o you_o owe_v a_o

not_o engross_v a_o commodity_n that_o be_v do_v not_o buy_v all_o of_o a_o commodity_n into_o your_o own_o hand_n alone_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v you_o may_v sell_v the_o commodity_n at_o your_o own_o price_n this_o be_v a_o mere_a oppression_n destructive_a to_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o to_o all_o trade_n the_o scripture_n condemn_v this_o in_o prov._n 11._o 6._o it_o be_v speak_v there_o

now_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o its_o self_n to_o engross_v a_o commodity_n thereby_o to_o sell_v it_o the_o cheap_a but_o for_o a_o man_n to_o engross_v a_o commodity_n mere_o thereby_o to_o

of_o the_o mistake_n or_o oversight_n of_o the_o seller_n as_o suppose_v you_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o shop_n and_o buy_v so_o many_o yard_n of_o cloth_n or_o the_o like_a and_o he_o shall_v give_v thou_o more_o than_o be_v thy_o due_n or_o take_v less_o money_n of_o thou_o then_o be_v his_o due_n you_o shall_v take_v no_o advantage_n of_o he_o in_o such_o a_o case_n but_o restore_v it_o again_o for_o if_o you_o take_v any_o thing_n more_o from_o he_o than_o you_o buy_v of_o he_o it_o be_v theft_n or_o if_o you_o give_v any_o less_o for_o the_o commodity_n than_o you_o bargain_v for_o it_o be_v theft_n there_o be_v a_o excellent_a place_n for_o this_o in_o gen._n 43._o 12._o jacob_n when_o there_o be_v a_o famine_n in_o the_o land_n he_o send_v his_o son_n down_o into_o egypt_n to_o

again_o and_o when_o they_o come_v home_o and_o find_v their_o money_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o their_o sack_n they_o tell_v their_o father_n jacob_n of_o it_o then_o say_v he_o to_o they_o go_v back_o again_o and_o take_v double_a money_n in_o your_o hand_n and_o the_o money_n that_o be_v bring_v again_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o your_o sack_n carry_v it_o again_o in_o your_o hand_n for_o peradventure_o it_o be_v a_o oversight_n here_o be_v a_o conscienciousnesse_n in_o jacob_n 8._o do_v not_o buy_v any_o commodity_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n it_o be_v true_a upon_o urgent_a occasion_n to_o maintain_v life_n either_o in_o man_n or_o beast_n this_o be_v lawful_a but_o to_o buy_v any_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v well_o be_v without_o till_o monday_n in_o this_o case_n you_o sin_n if_o you_o buy_v any_o thing_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o neh._n 10._o 31._o and_o nehemiah_n enter_v into_o a_o oath_n and_o the_o people_n with_o he_o that_o if_o any_o of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n bring_v ware_n or_o any_o victual_n to_o sell_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o they_o will_v not_o buy_v it_o of_o they_o and_o as_o the_o law_n do_v not_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o break_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o gospel_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o break_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v see_v but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o man_n to_o buy_v either_o wine_n or_o beer_n or_o pepper_n or_o mustard_n or_o any_o other_o trivial_a thing_n which_o they_o may_v well_o be_v without_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 9_o do_v not_o in_o buy_v a_o commodity_n work_n upon_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n that_o have_v need_n of_o money_n this_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o tradesman_n they_o know_v that_o a_o poor_a man_n want_v money_n and_o he_o must_v sell_v off_o his_o ware_n orelse_a he_o can_v buy_v bread_n for_o his_o family_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v work_v upon_o his_o necessity_n and_o will_v not_o buy_v the_o commodity_n of_o he_o unless_o they_o will_v sell_v
