for_o the_o eat_n and_o consume_v of_o meat_n but_o that_o in_o enjoy_v the_o comforr_n of_o god_n his_o creature_n he_o may_v praise_v the_o lord_n the_o more_o free_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n hereof_o just_o gather_v that_o therefore_o on_o this_o day_n he_o may_v fill_v himself_o with_o meat_n as_o he_o lust_v because_o that_o be_v rather_o to_o unable_a than_o to_o enable_v he_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n again_o we_o say_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o labour_n that_o be_v the_o commodity_n that_o come_v by_o labour_n be_v make_v for_o man_n not_o man_n for_o the_o labour_n

whereby_o man_n may_v the_o more_o fit_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o disciple_n do_v eat_v this_o corn_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o fit_a thereunto_o it_o be_v manifest_a they_o do_v not_o violate_v the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o sabbath_n beside_o though_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v figurative_a yet_o the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v for_o man_n not_o man_n for_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v for_o the_o bare_a use_n of_o the_o element_n although_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o to_o use_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n in_o pureness_n and_o
