synagogue_n or_o church_n and_o christ_n permit_v as_o i_o show_v before_o his_o own_o disciple_n to_o hear_v they_o and_o to_o observe_v their_o doctrine_n and_o do_v it_o but_o as_o for_o do_v any_o

the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n for_o pull_v ear_n of_o corn_n on_o this_o day_n and_o rub_v they_o in_o their_o hand_n to_o satisfy_v their_o hunger_n luke_n 6.1_o and_o i●_n come_v to_o pass_v on_o the_o sabbath_n after_o the_o first_o that_o jesus_n go_v through_o the_o cornfield_n and_o his_o disciple_n pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n and_o do_v eat_v and_o certain_a of_o the_o pharisee_n

thou_o will_v say_v perhaps_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v more_o righteous_a nay_o stay_v there_o for_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o present_o wherein_o thou_o must_v exceed_v they_o in_o

so_o reader_n think_v thou_o may_v be_v a_o incourager_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o place_n where_o thou_o be_v may_v give_v free_o and_o liberal_o to_o the_o maintain_n of_o a_o godly_a minister_n
