and_o simon_n zelotes_n and_o judas_n the_o brother_n of_o james_n these_o all_o continue_a with_o one_o accord_n in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o the_o woman_n and_o mary_n the_o mother_n of_o jesus_n and_o with_o his_o brethren_n it_o be_v like_o that_o the_o apostle_n gather_v then selue_o together_o into_o this_o parlor_n and_o security_n place_n that_o they_o may_v there_o abide_v until_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o fond_a and_o foolish_a be_v the_o papist_n which_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o supremacy_n of_o peter_n because_o in_o this_o place_n

that_o he_o be_v chief_a of_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o if_o he_o be_v therefore_o chief_a of_o the_o apostle_n because_o in_o the_o catalogue_n or_o rehearsal_n of_o name_n he_o be_v put_v in_o

they_o be_v set_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o many_o and_o grevous_a temptation_n partly_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v not_o present_o upon_o they_o after_o they_o come_v from_o the_o mount_n

the_o passover_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o christ_n do_v eat_v passover_n with_o his_o disciple_n the_o day_n before_o that_o all_o the_o people_n celebrate_v the_o public_a passover_n neither_o can_v this_o be_v avoid_v or_o shift_v of_o by_o any_o cavil_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o solemnise_v the_o festival_n day_n in_o that_o day_n that_o they_o crucify_v christ_n in_o the_o which_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o punish_v any_o man_n and_o that_o then_o they_o have_v their_o solemn_a preparation_n that_o christ_n be_v bury_v they_o may_v eat_v passover_n now_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o christ_n order_v this_o matter_n for_o he_o do_v nothing_o in_o this_o rite_n contrary_a to_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o both_o the_o lawful_a day_n be_v observe_v of_o christ_n &_o also_o that_o the_o jew_n follow_v the_o ancient_a custom_n first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n that_o christ_n be_v put_v to_o death_n the_o day_n before_o the_o sabbath_n because_o he_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n which_o be_v at_o hand_n with_o as_o much_o speed_n as_o may_v be_v by_o reason_n that_o after_o the_o even_a it_o be_v necessary_a to_o keep_v holy_a day_n but_o now_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n by_o the_o ancient_a observation_n that_o the_o passover_n and_o other_o festival_n day_n when_o they_o fall_v upon_o the_o friday_n be_v put_v of_o till_o the_o next_o day_n after_o because_o the_o people_n can_v not_o bide_v to_o have_v two_o holy_a day_n come_v together_o the_o jew_n affirm_v that_o this_o law_n be_v appoint_v stra●…te_a after_o that_o the_o people_n be_v return_v from_o the_o exile_n into_o babylon_n and_o that_o by_o a_o heavenly_a oracle_n or_o revelation_n jest_n they_o shall_v seem_v to_o alter_v any_o thing_n rash_o of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n then_o to_o join_v two_o holy_a day_n into_o one_o as_o the_o jew_n confess_v and_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o ancient_a monument_n it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a probable_a conjecture_n that_o christ_n which_o celebrate_v the_o passeover_n the_o day_n before_o the_o sabbath_n observe_v the_o day_n which_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o law_n for_o we_o know_v what_o a_o diligent_a care_n he_o have_v lest_o he_o shall_v swerve_v from_o one_o title_n of_o the_o law_n for_o see_v he_o will_v be_v bind_v to_o the_o law_n that_o he_o may_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o yoke_n thereof_o he_o be_v not_o unmindful_a of_o this_o subjection_n even_o at_o the_o last_o

of_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o wicked_a the_o jew_n themselves_o true_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o one_o holy_a day_n be_v only_o observe_v so_o often_o as_o passover_n be_v join_v to_o the_o
