in_o that_o age_n and_o for_o some_o time_n before_o the_o scribe_n general_o agree_v in_o corrupt_v the_o law_n and_o deceive_v the_o people_n yet_o they_o have_v their_o party_n and_o faction_n among_o themselves_o the_o pharise_n in_o our_o saviour_n time_n be_v a_o sect_n of_o the_o great_a power_n in_o the_o council_n and_o of_o the_o great_a reputation_n with_o the_o people_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n or_o the_o scribe_n of_o the_o pharisaical_a party_n which_o be_v of_o jerusalem_n that_o come_v to_o jesus_n the_o

shall_v discourse_v to_o you_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o of_o the_o objection_n which_o these_o man_n make_v against_o jesus_n and_o his_o disciple_n second_o of_o the_o answer_n which_o our_o saviour_n make_v to_o the_o charge_n that_o be_v lay_v against_o they_o i._o of_o the_o objection_n which_o these_o man_n make_v against_o jesus_n and_o his_o disciple_n why_o do_v thy_o disciple_n transgress_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n for_o they_o wash_v not_o their_o hand_n when_o they_o eat_v bread_n a_o charge_n lay_v with_o as_o much_o confidence_n as_o anger_n and_o therefore_o they_o scorn_v to_o put_v any_o of_o his_o disciple_n to_o answer_v it_o and_o think_v fit_a to_o challenge_v the_o master_n himself_o about_o it_o now_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o be_v consider_v here_o be_v 1._o the_o nature_n of_o the_o charge_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o general_a one_o illustrate_v by_o one_o particular_a instance_n the_o general_a charge_n be_v that_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n transgress_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n the_o particular_a instance_n be_v that_o they_o transgress_v such_o tradition_n in_o not_o wash_v their_o hand_n before_o meat_n as_o to_o the_o general_a charge_n they_o have_v transgress_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n but_o what_o be_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n be_v the_o doctrine_n that_o have_v be_v deliver_v and_o the_o rule_n that_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o by_o wise_a and_o great_a man_n and_o universal_o receive_v in_o former_a age_n one_o will_v think_v therefore_o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v command_v in_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v deliver_v down_o by_o a_o uncontrollable_a tradition_n from_o hand_n to_o hand_n for_o near_o two_o thousand_o year_n but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o meaning_n under_o these_o word_n as_o they_o use_v they_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n or_o by_o the_o ancient_a tradition_n of_o wise_a and_o great_a man_n they_o mean_v no_o doctrine_n or_o rule_n for_o faith_n or_o practice_n that_o be_v express_v in_o the_o write_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n but_o such_o doctrine_n as_o not_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n be_v deliver_v down_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n and_o by_o constant_a usage_n from_o father_n to_o son_n and_o so_o from_o one_o age_n to_o another_o and_o thus_o josephus_n tell_v we_o antiq._n 13.13_o that_o the_o first_o and_o main_a principle_n of_o the_o pharise_n be_v that_o they_o deny_v all_o those_o thing_n to_o be_v write_v which_o concern_v religion_n the_o fundamental_a rule_n of_o their_o sect_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a law_n a_o oral_a law_n and_o a_o write_a law_n a_o law_n deliver_v from_o age_n to_o age_n by_o word_n of_o mouth_n as_o well_o as_o a_o law_n deliver_v in_o such_o book_n as_o have_v authority_n from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n to_o gain_v reverence_n to_o these_o tradition_n they_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o though_o they_o be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o law_n yet_o they_o be_v deliver_v to_o moses_n by_o god_n himself_o to_o joshua_n by_o moses_n to_o the_o prophet_n by_o joshua_n to_o esdras_n by_o the_o prophet_n and_o thence_o to_o the_o master_n of_o the_o school_n of_o who_o they_o be_v the_o successor_n and_o they_o be_v the_o guardian_n of_o these_o unwritten_a tradition_n which_o be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o
