to_o that_o which_o do_v more_o trouble_v i_o and_o that_o be_v what_o that_o be_v which_o the_o disciple_n do_v which_o be_v not_o lawful_a on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n master_n how_o come_v you_o to_o be_v trouble_v at_o that_o be_v it_o not_o say_v in_o plain_a term_n they_o pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n &_o do_v eat_v they_o why_o shall_v not_o you_o think_v that_o this_o be_v their_o fault_n

eat_v they_o now_o whether_o all_o these_o or_o one_o of_o these_o be_v their_o fault_n i_o can_v tell_v and_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o doubt_n first_o it_o be_v true_a that_o their_o very_a walk_v may_v have_v be_v their_o fault_n because_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a on_o the_o sabbath_n to_o walk_v above_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o cubit_n and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o far_o christ_n &_o the_o disciple_n may_v have_v come_v that_o day_n but_o yet_o methinks_v if_o that_o have_v be_v it_o they_o shall_v have_v reprove_v christ_n as_o well_o as_o his_o disciple_n because_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a they_o walk_v the_o one_o as_o much_o &_o as_o far_o as_o the_o other_o second_o it_o be_v true_a that_o their_o pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n may_v have_v be_v their_o fault_n but_o yet_o methinks_v it_o shall_v not_o in_o regard_n the_o law_n be_v so_o clear_a in_o the_o 23._o deut._n 25._o when_o thou_o come_v into_o the_o stand_a corn_n of_o thy_o neighbour_n than_o thou_o may_v pluck_v the_o ear_n with_o thy_o hand_n but_o thou_o shall_v not_o move_v a_o sickle_n unto_o thy_o neighbour_n stand_v corn._n and_o true_o why_o that_o which_o be_v so_o plain_o lawful_a at_o another_o time_n shall_v be_v unlawful_a on_o the_o sabbath_n be_v it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v any_o kind_n of_o labour_n or_o servile_a work_n i_o can_v imagine_v 3._o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o do_v eat_v they_o and_o i_o can_v see_v what_o fault_n there_o be_v in_o that_o unless_o you_o can_v show_v i_o mast_n and_o peradventure_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o more_o in_o that_o than_o you_o think_v on_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o expositor_n run_v on_o their_o pluck_v the_o ear_n upon_o the_o sabbath-day_n as_o be_v the_o thing_n condemn_v by_o the_o pharisee_n for_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n but_o i_o think_v they_o will_v be_v much_o trouble_v to_o prove_v it_o the_o custom_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o jew_n especial_o since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o macchabee_n be_v to_o allow_v act_n of_o great_a labour_n and_o pain_n than_o the_o pluck_n of_o a_o ear_n namely_o wage_n war_n against_o their_o enemy_n the_o travel_v of_o carrier_n and_o merchant_n with_o such_o other_o even_o on_o the_o sabbath-day_n i_o shall_v rather_o incline_v to_o think_v that_o their_o fault_n be_v eat_v especial_o if_o that_o be_v true_a which_o the_o very_a heathen_a poet_n tax_v and_o scoff_v they_o so_o with_o namely_o their_o sabbath-fast_n for_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v i_o believe_v there_o will_v more_o be_v say_v for_o this_o than_o for_o the_o other_o crime_n and_o if_o a_o man_n will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o that_o answer_v which_o our_o saviour_n make_v for_o they_o he_o he_o shall_v find_v ground_n enough_o to_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n for_o if_o the_o pretend_a fault_n have_v be_v work_v or_o labour_v our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v have_v easy_o lay_v his_o answer_n upon_o joshua_n or_o upon_o many_o other_o who_o do_v great_a work_n than_o this_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n but_o lay_v it_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o david_n and_o upon_o his_o eat_v that_o which_o be_v forbid_v he_o seem_v to_o answer_v one_o unlawful_a eat_v with_o another_o when_o necessity_n be_v a_o sufficient_a dispensation_n for_o both_o i_o do_v not_o oblige_v you_o to_o believe_v this_o as_o a_o positive_a truth_n but_o only_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o much_o may_v be_v say_v for_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o but_o if_o you_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o know_v what_o their_o fault_n be_v you_o have_v best_o put_v they_o both_o together_o and_o you_o will_v not_o miss_v scholar_n i_o thank_v you_o for_o this_o light_n i_o wish_v you_o can_v give_v i_o as_o good_a in_o my_o next_o objection_n master_n i_o shall_v do_v my_o best_a what_o be_v that_o i_o pray_v scholar_n our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o three_o verse_n of_o this_o chap._n that_o david_n do_v eat_v of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o they_o that_o be_v with_o he_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v 1_o sam._n 21._o 1_o where_o this_o history_n be_v record_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n with_o he_o for_o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o ahimelech_n the_o priest_n be_v afraid_a at_o the_o meeting_n of_o david_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o why_o be_v thou_o alone_a and_o why_o be_v no_o man_n with_o thou_o how_o shall_v i_o reconcile_v this_o contradiction_n to_o my_o think_v master_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o st._n matthew_n be_v too_o plain_a and_o evident_a than_o to_o admit_v of_o any_o other_o construction_n but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o other_o man_n with_o david_n and_o if_o they_o can_v admit_v of_o it_o yet_o st._n mark_n will_v put_v all_o out_o of_o doubt_n for_o he_o say_v express_o that_o david_n do_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n and_o give_v it_o to_o they_o that_o be_v with_o he_o mark_n 2._o 26._o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o priest_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n with_o he_o in_o samuel_n it_o be_v best_o to_o understand_v that_o of_o no_o man_n in_o sight_n because_o peradventure_o david_n may_v have_v cause_v they_o to_o withdraw_v for_o the_o present_a till_o he_o have_v get_v relief_n from_o the_o priest_n both_o for_o himself_o and_o they_o and_o this_o i_o conceive_v the_o best_a satisfaction_n unto_o that_o doubt_n scholar_n i_o think_v it_o not_o improbable_a but_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o story_n of_o david_n i_o pray_v tell_v i_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v david_n enter_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n in_o v_o 4._o of_o this_o chap._n when_o as_o yet_o the_o house_n of_o god_n be_v not_o build_v i._n e._n when_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o temple_n master_n it_o be_v well_o object_v and_o the_o answer_n to_o be_v give_v be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n call_v that_o place_n where_o the_o tabernacle_n then_o be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n which_o afterward_o become_v the_o proper_a appellation_n of_o the_o temple_n scholar_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a now_o if_o you_o please_v let_v we_o pass_v from_o this_o answer_n concern_v david_n to_o that_o concern_v the_o priest_n in_o the_o 5_o v._o where_o christ_n say_v that_o the_o priest_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o be_v blameless_a what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o that_o master_n in_o those_o word_n our_o saviour_n use_v another_o argument_n in_o behalf_n of_o his_o disciple_n which_o they_o call_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a to_o justify_v their_o pluck_v
