he_o god_n give_v fourfold_a we_o read_v of_o another_o passage_n in_o the_o talmud_n concern_v feast_n how_o a_o certain_a rabbi_n every_o friday_n send_v his_o servant_n into_o the_o market_n to_o

distribute_v they_o to_o the_o poor_a israelite_n the_o answer_n be_v this_o that_o if_o he_o have_v give_v they_o to_o the_o poor_a than_o they_o in_o expectation_n of_o have_v they_o give_v still_o will_v not_o have_v provide_v for_o the_o sabbath_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o the_o seller_n have_v sell_v all_o and_o the_o poor_a not_o provide_v for_o themselves_o than_o the_o sabbath_n will_v not_o have_v have_v its_o due_a honour_n but_o why_o then_o do_v he_o not_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o cattle_n it_o have_v be_v better_a to_o do_v so_o than_o to_o cast_v they_o careless_o away_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v those_o thing_n to_o cattle_n which_o man_n may_v eat_v and_o from_o which_o they_o may_v have_v profit_n for_o they_o may_v perchance_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o water_n but_o why_o do_v he_o command_v they_o to_o be_v buy_v the_o reason_n be_v that_o those_o who_o sell_v such_o commodity_n may_v willingly_a come_v to_o the_o market_n for_o suppose_v they_o to_o come_v often_o and_o sell_v nought_o they_o will_v soon_o be_v weary_a and_o not_o frequent_v the_o market_n and_o then_o the_o
