persuade_v her_o husband_n to_o taste_v it_o too_o and_o tell_v he_o if_o i_o must_v die_v thou_o shall_v die_v with_o i_o but_o when_o her_o persuasion_n prevail_v not_o over_o his_o constancy_n

the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o woman_n light_v the_o candle_n be_v because_o they_o be_v always_o at_o home_n but_o the_o man_n often_o abroad_o moreover_o we_o read_v exod._n 27.20_o thou_o

candle_n for_o the_o golden_a candlestick_n in_o the_o holy_a temple_n at_o jerusalem_n moreover_o we_o have_v it_o in_o the_o talmud_n that_o a_o woman_n guilty_a of_o these_o sin_n shall_v die_v in_o childbed_n first_o if_o she_o have_v not_o provide_v a_o cake_n second_o if_o she_o have_v not_o light_v up_o the_o candle_n three_o if_o she_o have_v not_o take_v great_a care_n of_o her_o menstruous_a clothes_n but_o if_o the_o woman_n diligent_o observe_v these_o precept_n they_o soon_o conceive_v and_o be_v easy_o deliver_v of_o these_o candle_n they_o have_v common_o two_o some_o

these_o to_o be_v mere_a fiction_n i_o shall_v instance_n some_o pleasant_a passage_n out_o of_o the_o talmud_n relate_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n where_o we_o read_v that_o one_o rabbi_n chaja_n

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
