grow_v for_o the_o better_a understanding_n this_o place_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o as_o it_o be_v in_o pass_v by_o that_o in_o the_o ancient_a law_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o nazarean_o that_o be_v to_o say_v man_n separated_z and_o consecrate_v to_o god_n the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v perpetual_a and_o the_o other_o but_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n according_a as_o their_o devotion_n invite_v they_o to_o make_v this_o vow_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v oblige_v to_o abstain_v from_o wine_n and_o from_o any_o other_o liquor_n that_o may_v cause_v drunkenness_n and_o to_o let_v their_o hair_n grow_v the_o time_n allot_v for_o the_o vow_n of_o these_o latter_a be_v expire_v they_o be_v to_o present_v themselves_o at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n where_o they_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v ordain_v for_o it_o they_o be_v shave_v and_o their_o hair_n be_v burn_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o pacifical_a oblation_n with_o many_o ceremony_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o consecration_n if_o they_o happen_v to_o contract_v any_o pollution_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n either_o by_o the_o touch_n of_o some_o dead_a body_n or_o that_o by_o change_v any_o die_v sudden_o in_o their_o presence_n they_o be_v bind_v at_o the_o

therefore_o easy_o believe_v that_o saint_n paul_n have_v make_v this_o vow_n of_o the_o nazarean_o to_o comply_v in_o some_o occasion_n with_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o he_o have_v circumcise_v timothy_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v not_o scandalize_v they_o or_o for_o some_o other_o reason_n which_o st._n luke_n do_v not_o mention_n may_v by_o chance_n have_v meet_v some_o dead_a corpse_n or_o touch_v some_o dead_a body_n and_o this_o have_v happen_v in_o the_o company_n of_o some_o jew_n who_o be_v convert_v and_o observe_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n he_o shave_v his_o hair_n at_o that_o instant_n remit_v his_o offering_n sacrifice_n till_o he_o come_v to_o jerusalem_n as_o in_o effect_n he_o do_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o saint_n james_n and_o the_o priest_n of_o that_o church_n which_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o sequel_n of_o this_o history_n it_o be_v true_a some_o author_n say_v that_o aquila_n make_v this_o vow_n and_o not_o the_o apostle_n but_o saint_n hierome_n and_o saint_n augustine_n bede_n and_o almost_o all_o interpreter_n maintain_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o saint_n paul_n and_o i_o have_v in_o
