it_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o david_n and_o his_o man_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o eat_v the_o shewbread_n which_o by_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v appoint_v for_o no_o man_n use_n

letter_n of_o the_o law_n forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o work_n opon_n the_o sabbath_n yet_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o law_n and_o meaning_n thereof_o be_v neither_o to_o forbid_v the_o shewbread_n to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o in_o such_o a_o extraordinary_a case_n of_o necessity_n nor_o to_o forbid_v meat_n to_o be_v make_v ready_a on_o the_o sabbath_n to_o suffice_v a_o man_n hunger_n doct._n 1._o when_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n and_o the_o intent_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o command_n be_v not_o contraveen_v the_o precept_n be_v not_o break_v for_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o

this_o be_v it_o he_o say_v have_v you_o not_o read_v ver._n 5._o or_o have_v you_o not_o read_v in_o the_o law_n how_o that_o on_o the_o sabbath-daye_n the_o priest_n in_o the_o temple_n profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o be_v blameless_a 6._o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v one_o great_a than_o the_o temple_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v the_o priest_n for_o

albeit_o my_o disciple_n for_o promove_v my_o service_n who_o be_o great_a than_o the_o temple_n do_v pluck_v ear_n of_o corn_n and_o eat_v thereof_o on_o the_o sabbath_n and_o so_o seem_v to_o you_o to_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n yet_o they_o be_v also_o blameless_a hence_o learn_v 1._o whatsoever_o bodily_a work_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o promove_v of_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n be_v not_o a_o break_n of_o the_o sabbath_n for_o the_o priest_n do_v bodily_a work_n in_o the_o temple_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n and_o be_v blameless_a 2._o as_o the_o body_n be_v above_o the_o figure_n or_o shadow_n so_o be_v christ_n great_a than_o the_o temple_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o therefore_o say_v he_o in_o this_o place_n be_v one_o great_a than_o the_o temple_n ver._n 7._o 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 the_o three_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o lord_n never_o appoint_v the_o outward_a ceremony_n of_o his_o service_n in_o the_o first_o table_n to_o hinder_v work_n of_o mercy_n prescribe_v in_o the_o second_o table_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o at_o one_o time_n both_o can_v be_v do_v he_o will_v have_v the_o work_n of_o mercy_n do_v and_o the_o ceremony_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n leave_v undo_v for_o that_o time_n therefore_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n will_v that_o my_o disciple_n shall_v rather_o pluck_v corn_n and_o eat_v it_o on_o the_o sabbath_n by_o way_n of_o mercy_n to_o their_o own_o body_n then_o harm_v their_o health_n under_o pretext_n of_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n which_o if_o you_o have_v understand_v and_o consider_v you_o will_v not_o have_v condemn_v my_o disciple_n without_o cause_n hence_o learn_v 1._o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o god_n word_n be_v know_v it_o be_v able_a to_o prevent_v rash_a judgement_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v if_o you_o have_v know_v 2._o condemn_v of_o the_o guiltless_a do_v draw_v the_o judge_n be_v rash_a under_o guilt_n therefore_o say_v he_o you_o will_v not_o have_v condemn_v the_o guiltless_a 3._o it_o be_v not_o every_o man_n no_o not_o every_o learned_a man_n who_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o in_o say_v if_o you_o have_v know_v he_o tax_v both_o the_o pharisee_n and_o scribe_n of_o ignorance_n verse_n 18._o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n even_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o four_o reason_n i_o who_o you_o see_v to_o be_v a_o man_n be_o also_o god_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n have_v authority_n to_o prescribe_v or_o allow_v for_o my_o service_n on_o that_o day_n what_o i_o please_v to_o judge_v and_o to_o punish_v or_o pardon_v the_o breach_n as_o i_o please_v therefore_o if_o i_o judge_v this_o work_n of_o my_o disciple_n to_o be_v no_o fault_n neither_o shall_v you_o hence_o learn_v 1._o that_o the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o word_n or_o second_o person_n of_o the_o godhead_n make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o it_o do_v not_o diminish_v his_o divine_a authority_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lord_n even_o of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o christ_n can_v maintain_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o four_o command_n and_o appoint_v

a_o man_n of_o a_o wither_a hand_n miraculous_o hence_o learn_v 1._o that_o christ_n go_v on_o to_o follow_v his_o call_n notwithstanding_o of_o enemy_n and_o opposition_n for_o after_o his_o disputation_n in_o the_o field_n with_o the_o pharisee_n he_o go_v into_o the_o synagogue_n where_o he_o may_v do_v good_a to_o the_o people_n 2._o christ_n enemy_n when_o they_o have_v no_o just_a
