necessary_a but_o that_o authority_n may_v in_o some_o consideration_n lawful_o dispense_v therewith_o it_o be_v a_o good_a order_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o none_o but_o the_o priest_n shall_v eat_v of_o the_o show_n bread_n and_o yet_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n abimelech_n the_o high_a priest_n do_v dispense_v 21._o with_o david_n &_o his_o company_n in_o eat_v the_o same_o

therefore_o by_o lawful_a authority_n such_o order_n may_v be_v dispense_v with_o and_o not_o deserve_v just_a reproof_n much_o less_o the_o crime_n of_o covetousness_n and_o simony_n objection_n
