priest_n he_o show_v that_o he_o rather_o speak_v against_o the_o person_n than_o against_o the_o cause_n and_o strangle_v they_o in_o their_o own_o argument_n for_o the_o answer_n in_o effect_n be_v

on_o the_o sabbath_n if_o we_o look_v narrow_o into_o the_o history_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v most_o usual_a unto_o he_o to_o heal_v the_o sick_a to_o restore_v sight_n to_o the_o blind_a to_o open_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o dumb_a and_o to_o frequent_v like_o exercise_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o for_o what_o cause_n because_o on_o other_o day_n man_n follow_v their_o ordinary_a calling_n can_v not_o so_o well_o follow_v he_o but_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n their_o other_o business_n set_v apart_o they_o attend_v on_o he_o willing_o and_o resort_v

else_o he_o shall_v have_v do_v they_o to_o the_o less_o glory_n to_o god_n if_o no_o company_n nor_o concourse_n have_v be_v make_v wherefore_o as_o both_o the_o people_n on_o that_o day_n be_v fit_a to_o come_v to_o christ_n so_o christ_n be_v then_o most_o ready_a when_o his_o work_n also_o may_v most_o make_v for_o god_n glory_n beside_o he_o do_v then_o these_o thing_n rather_o that_o he_o may_v wean_v the_o jew_n from_o their_o superstitious_a opinion_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o bring_v in_o the_o pure_a use_n thereof_o in_o exercise_v the_o work_n of_o love_n now_o if_o the_o outward_a rest_n of_o the_o day_n have_v be_v the_o chief_a thing_n therein_o as_o the_o pharisee_n than_o dream_v and_o many_o now_o a_o day_n have_v think_v then_o how_o will_v christ_n have_v do_v these_o thing_n who_o be_v to_o do_v and_o fulfil_v all_o thing_n command_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n &_o leave_v nothing_o undo_v in_o any_o one_o jote_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n until_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o his_o body_n be_v rend_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o chief_a end_n be_v moral_a and_o not_o ceremonial_a and_o as_o it_o be_v moral_a give_v to_o all_o man_n to_o further_o they_o in_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n it_o be_v as_o needful_a for_o we_o as_o for_o the_o jew_n again_o christ_n be_v ask_v of_o no_o one_o question_n more_o than_o of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o in_o all_o his_o answer_n he_o rather_o inveigh_v against_o the_o pervert_v they_o intend_v the_o abrogate_a of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o like_a manner_n he_o mean_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o abrogate_a of_o the_o day_n in_o his_o apology_n against_o the_o pharisee_n but_o rather_o lay_v open_v their_o folly_n in_o prove_v to_o their_o face_n that_o they_o cavil_v too_o much_o for_o the_o pervert_v of_o the_o sabbath_n see_v they_o be_v drive_v to_o reprehend_v that_o in_o other_o which_o they_o themselves_o do_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o defence_n insinua●eth_v thus_o much_o if_o you_o think_v it_o a_o holy_a duty_n to_o cut_v the_o flesh_n of_o child_n on_o the_o sabbath_n because_o it_o be_v do_v in_o your_o temple_n which_o otherwise_o may_v seem_v a_o spice_n of_o murder_n and_o cruelty_n again_o if_o you_o think_v the_o temple_n command_v the_o work_n of_o slay_v your_o beast_n for_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v do_v in_o the_o marketplace_n be_v too_o butcherlike_a then_o i_o give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o my_o disciple_n do_v nothing_o unbeseeming_a the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o i_o be_o present_a with_o they_o who_o be_o great_a than_o the_o temple_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o seven_o verse_n if_o you_o know_v what_o this_o be_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n reason_n &_o not_o sacrifice_v you_o will_v not_o have_v condemn_v the_o innocent_n here_o our_o saviour_n christ_n as_o before_o he_o have_v defend_v his_o disciple_n by_o testimony_n out_o of_o the_o law_n so_o now_o excuse_v they_o by_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o ●iteth_v a_o place_n out_o of_o hosea_n chap._n 6._o 6._o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v what_o work_n do_v the_o sabbath_n forbid_v be_v they_o not_o the_o work_n of_o our_o ordinary_a calling_n what_o work_n do_v the_o sabbath_n command_v to_o sacrifice_v only_o no_o but_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o mercy_n also_o which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o our_o sacrifice_n why_o then_o see_v the_o law_n do_v not_o forbid_v the_o duty_n of_o love_n to_o be_v do_v will_v you_o deny_v this_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o my_o disciple_n that_o when_o they_o faint_a they_o may_v not_o be_v refresh_v that_o this_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v construe_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o have_v sacrifice_n alone_o but_o mercy_n withal_o we_o may_v prove_v it_o by_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o 1._o cor._n 1_o 17._o christ_n send_v i_o not_o to_o baptize_v but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n where_o the_o apostle_n mean_v that_o he_o be_v not_o chief_o and_o only_o send_v to_o baptize_v but_o to_o preach_v also_o so_o that_o the_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o way_n of_o comparison_n that_o when_o one_o of_o the_o thing_n can_v be_v convenient_o do_v without_o the_o other_o be_v undo_v then_o mercy_n which_o be_v better_o than_o sacrifice_n must_v be_v prefer_v as_o be_v the_o issue_n whither_o sacrifice_n be_v

and_o the_o duty_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o second_o table_n and_o the_o duty_n thereof_o yet_o in_o comparison_n when_o one_o of_o these_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v leave_v undo_v because_o both_o can_v be_v do_v together_o see_v the_o lord_n most_o allow_v of_o our_o obedience_n when_o testimony_n thereof_o be_v witness_v by_o practice_n to_o his_o saint_n and_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o love_n we_o perform_v that_o in_o truth_n which_o otherwise_o we_o labour_v for_o but_o by_o mean_n the_o lord_n desire_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n more_o then_o burn_a offering_n so_o that_o herein_o the_o disciple_n do_v not_o only_o not_o break_v but_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n this_o argument_n christ_n use_v mark_n 3._o 4._o
