of_o pull_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o this_o mat._n 12.15_o the_o scope_n therefore_o of_o this_o place_n be_v not_o to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o sabbath_n

of_o our_o saviour_n be_v very_o strong_a and_o convicting_a to_o prove_v the_o morality_n of_o such_o a_o act_n but_o no_o way_n to_o prove_v the_o ceremoniality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o that_o

and_o therefore_o with_o the_o sabbath_n how_o far_o christ_n jesus_n might_n and_o may_v dispense_v with_o moral_a law_n i_o dispute_v not_o now_o i_o think_v biell_n come_v near_a the_o truth_n in_o

the_o sabbath_n so_o to_o rub_v out_o and_o eat_v a_o few_o corn_n ear_n upon_o it_o although_o hunger_n and_o want_n and_o perhaps_o more_o than_o ordinary_a in_o the_o disciple_n here_o shall_v
