controversy_n by_o way_n of_o counsel_n but_o to_o this_o i_o have_v little_a to_o say_v first_o because_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n yea_o or_o no._n second_o because_o experience_n show_v that_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o this_o sense_n be_v very_o dangerous_a as_o be_v next_o at_o hand_n to_o give_v countenance_n to_o imposture_n and_o

it_o yet_o both_o upbraid_v each_o other_o with_o the_o pretence_n of_o it_o but_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o second_o sense_n be_v that_o i_o contend_v for_o and_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o

which_o be_v a_o less_o work_n than_o they_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o his_o reply_n will_v appear_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v when_o he_o say_v that_o in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v one_o great_a than_o the_o temple_n in_o the_o 6_o verse_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v every_o prophet_n be_v great_a than_o the_o temple_n that_o be_v he_o be_v oblige_v in_o no_o case_n to_o the_o law_n &_o custom_n of_o the_o temple_n but_o may_v sacrifice_v out_o of_o it_o when_o he_o please_v as_o appear_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o eliah_n and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o priestly_a function_n on_o the_o sabbath_n can_v not_o be_v perform_v without_o the_o labour_n of_o offer_v but_o the_o prophetical_a function_n of_o the_o disciple_n may_v be_v perform_v on_o the_o sabbath_n without_o pluck_v ear_n and_o eat_v the_o answer_n be_v that_o both_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o disciple_n be_v so_o intent_n upon_o their_o prophetical_a employment_n that_o as_o elsewhere_o they_o forget_v to_o take_v bread_n so_o here_o they_o either_o forget_v or_o have_v no_o time_n for_o the_o provision_n of_o victual_n before_o the_o sabbath_n whereon_o to_o feed_v on_o the_o sabbath_n scholar_n i_o apprehend_v your_o meaning_n and_o desire_v you_o to_o make_v the_o force_n of_o christ_n three_o argument_n as_o evident_a unto_o i_o which_o follow_v in_o the_o seven_o verse_n where_o he_o say_v but_o if_o you_o have_v know_v what_o this_o mean_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n you_o will_v not_o have_v condemn_v the_o guiltless_a master_n his_o meaning_n be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o when_o two_o law_n seem_v to_o clash_v so_o against_o one_o another_o that_o both_o can_v be_v keep_v the_o better_a be_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o the_o worse_o omit_v the_o law_n which_o will_v we_o to_o do_v good_a to_o all_o man_n and_o to_o further_o they_o in_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n which_o to_o a_o christian_a be_v a_o law_n moral_a never_o to_o be_v omit_v be_v better_a than_o the_o law_n which_o will_v we_o not_o to_o work_v or_o eat_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v only_o a_o law_n ritual_a christ_n can_v not_o intend_v to_o teach_v and_o the_o disciple_n intend_v to_o prepare_v and_o fit_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n to_o be_v teach_v and_o withal_o intend_v the_o prepare_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v requisite_a to_o the_o strict_a observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o therefore_o in_o equity_n the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n ought_v to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o law_n of_o instruct_v the_o world_n in_o the_o way_n of_o happiness_n and_o not_o to_o have_v justle_v with_o it_o schol._n i_o conceive_v this_o argument_n but_o yet_o methinks_v there_o follow_v somewhat_o like_o a_o reason_n which_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o conceive_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n even_o of_o the_o sabbath_n pray_v show_v i_o what_o the_o meaning_n be_v of_o that_o master_n they_o that_o by_o the_o son_n of_o man_n here_o understand_v christ_n or_o the_o messiah_n do_v mistake_n for_o in_o that_o acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n the_o reason_n do_v not_o hold_v for_o if_o christ_n have_v mean_v only_o that_o he_o as_o the_o messiah_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o so_o can_v abrogate_v it_o at_o his_o pleasure_n than_o what_o need_v all_o the_o three_o other_o argument_n that_o go_v before_o by_o the_o son_n of_o man_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v every_o common_a ordinary_a man_n as_o appear_v most_o evident_o by_o that_o of_o st._n mark_n 2._o 27._o the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n and_o not_o man_n for_o the_o sabbath_n beside_o at_o this_o time_n christ_n neither_o have_v preach_v nor_o will_v have_v other_o to_o preach_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o a_o good_a while_n after_o this_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o matth._n 16._o 20._o he_o charge_v that_o they_o shall_v tell_v it_o no_o man_n etc._n etc._n the_o sense_n therefore_o of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o which_o be_v ordain_v for_o another_o thing_n aught_o to_o give_v place_n to_o that_o thing_n for_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v but_o the_o sabbath_n be_v ordain_v for_o man_n every_o man_n therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o give_v place_n unto_o he_o namely_o when_o a_o thing_n so_o near_o concern_v man_n as_o his_o

and_o dispose_v it_o scholar_n i_o thank_v you_o for_o the_o pain_n and_o because_o i_o have_v put_v you_o to_o so_o much_o already_o i_o shall_v trouble_v you_o with_o nothing_o concern_v the_o next_o story_n of_o the_o man_n which_o have_v the_o wither_a hand_n because_o i_o think_v i_o do_v well_o enough_o understand_v it_o only_o let_v i_o desire_v you_o to_o give_v i_o your_o opinion_n why_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v heal_v he_o and_o divers_a other_o man_n of_o their_o disease_n it_o be_v add_v in_o the_o 16_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o he_o charge_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o make_v he_o know_v master_n true_o that_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o secess_n or_o his_o withdraw_a himself_o from_o they_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o may_v very_o well_o be_v conceive_v the_o cause_n also_o of_o this_o enjoin_v silence_n namely_o that_o he_o may_v be_v fafe_o from_o all_o violence_n and_o force_n but_o they_o which_o say_v that_o he_o do_v it_o out_o of_o charity_n to_o those_o pharisee_n who_o do_v seek_v his_o life_n say_v not_o amiss_o as_o origen_n report_v of_o aristotle_n that_o he_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o athens_n not_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o athenian_n sake_n lest_o he_o shall_v give_v they_o a_o occasion_n of_o commit_v another_o murder_n after_o the_o murder_n of_o socrates_n hitherto_o as_o yet_o this_o zeal_n and_o endeavour_n of_o the_o pharisee_n to_o maintain_v the_o tradition_n of_o their_o elder_n and_o the_o religion_n of_o their_o father_n may_v seem_v somewhat_o excusable_a and_o therefore_o christ_n add_v miracle_n to_o miracle_n do_v wait_v for_o their_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n prevent_v they_o by_o escape_n and_o conceal_v of_o himself_o from_o do_v he_o any_o violence_n or_o mischief_n till_o such_o time_n as_o that_o resist_v the_o light_n and_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n as_o some_o of_o they_o do_v very_o short_o after_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o they_o have_v more_o deserve_o draw_v upon_o themselves_o the_o guilt_n of_o that_o innocent_a blood_n which_o afterward_o fall_v upon_o their_o head_n so_o that_o when_o christ_n charge_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o make_v he_o know_v he_o mean_v only_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o discover_v where_o he_o be_v that_o so_o with_o the_o more_o silence_n and_o less_o opposition_n he_o may_v do_v the_o business_n of_o his_o father_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v agreeable_a to_o that_o which_o follow_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n in_o the_o 17_o 18_o 19_o 20_o and_o 21_o verse_n schol._n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v so_o indeed_o but_o in_o these_o word_n out_o of_o isaiah_n there_o be_v somewhat_o which_o do_v much_o trouble_v i_o how_o to_o understand_v and_o that_o be_v the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o 20._o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v till_o he_o send_v forth_o judgement_n unto_o victory_n pray_v what_o do_v you_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n mast_n i_o shall_v run_v through_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o by_o that_o you_o will_v better_o understand_v that_o part_n these_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n be_v produce_v by_o st._n matth._n for_o a_o confirmation_n of_o that_o meekness_n humility_n quietness_n and_o silence_n with_o which_o the_o great_a business_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v dispatch_v for_o by_o these_o word_n i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n on_o he_o be_v understand_v the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n gentleness_n and_o humility_n which_o be_v embleme_v in_o the_o dove_n when_o it_o come_v upon_o he_o and_o by_o those_o word_n and_o he_o shall_v show_v judgement_n unto_o the_o gentile_n be_v understand_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o christian_a law_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o mark_v it_o in_o the_o 42_o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o four_o verse_n it_o be_v add_v as_o a_o explication_n of_o the_o word_n judgement_n go_v before_o and_o the_o

great_a deliverance_n which_o be_v now_o work_v for_o they_o and_o therefore_o where_o they_o see_v the_o one_o they_o shall_v expect_v the_o other_o sch._n i_o believe_v you_o have_v guess_v right_o but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o the_o verse_n which_o follow_v or_o else_o how_o can_v one_o enter_v into_o a_o strong_a man_n house_n and_o spoil_v his_o good_n etc._n etc._n it_o look_v like_o another_o argument_n which_o christ_n use_v in_o his_o own_o defence_n against_o this_o calumny_n of_o the_o pharisee_n but_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o yet_o apprehend_v it_o mast_n it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a but_o anon_o you_o will_n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o three_o argument_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o touch_v to_o the_o quick_a for_o whereas_o his_o other_o two_o serve_v only_o to_o convince_v certain_a man_n this_o come_v to_o the_o very_a thing_n itself_o and_o quite_o overthrow_v it_o there_o have_v be_v say_v christ_n who_o have_v cast_v out_o devil_n through_o beelzebub_n it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o this_o have_v be_v without_o any_o harm_n or_o loss_n from_o the_o one_o unto_o the_o other_o it_o have_v not_o come_v to_o spoil_v of_o good_n to_o extirpate_v out_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n any_o of_o their_o sin_n but_o rather_o to_o increase_v they_o this_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a collusion_n and_o cheat_n but_o when_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n you_o may_v see_v i_o spoil_v they_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o rob_v they_o of_o their_o power_n for_o i_o plant_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n such_o doctrine_n as_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n to_o be_v near_o it_o wherein_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n do_v consist_v and_o therefore_o you_o may_v well_o imagine_v that_o i_o be_o in_o good_a earnest_n for_o i_o bind_v he_o and_o spoil_v he_o which_o no_o one_o devil_n ever_o yet_o do_v unto_o another_o or_o ever_o will_n schol._n i_o shall_v desire_v to_o put_v you_o to_o no_o more_o trouble_n in_o this_o verse_n if_o you_o please_v let_v we_o pass_v unto_o the_o next_o mast_n as_o i_o take_v it_o that_o be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v not_o with_o i_o be_v against_o i_o and_o he_o that_o gather_v not_o with_o i_o

follow_v upon_o what_o go_v before_o i_o see_v not_o what_o our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v intend_v by_o they_o mast_n have_v declare_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o cast_v out_o devil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o beelzebub_n that_o he_o labour_v to_o bind_v even_o beelzebub_n himself_o and_o to_o spoil_v he_o of_o all_o his_o power_n which_o he_o exercise_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o wicked_a man_n he_o carry_v the_o consideration_n of_o this_o enmity_n between_o the_o devil_n and_o himself_o to_o such_o a_o height_n as_o that_o he_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o neutrality_n in_o any_o other_o man_n profess_v that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o the_o devil_n enemy_n be_v he_o according_a to_o that_o axiom_n of_o the_o war_n medii_fw-la habentur_fw-la pro_fw-la hostibus_fw-la all_o indifferent_a man_n be_v enemy_n and_o if_o all_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o show_v how_o far_o he_o be_v from_o operate_n by_o the_o help_n of_o satan_n sure_o nothing_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o have_v say_v this_o conceive_v he_o have_v say_v as_o much_o as_o man_n can_v say_v he_o add_v wherefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o vers_n 31._o that_o be_v see_v it_o be_v evident_a by_o

you_o must_v know_v that_o you_o be_v much_o mistake_v both_o in_o the_o one_o and_o in_o the_o other_o opinion_n for_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o christ_n speak_v not_o of_o all_o
