Why, not in the Winter? because of the difficulties of the Ways; they might be deep and unpassable then, whereby their Escape might be hindered.

Why not on the Sabbath-day? because, say some, their Consciences would not admit them to fly then further than a Sabbath-day's Journey. It is strange to me that our Lord should tell them a little before, that it was lawful to save the Life of a sorry Animal, a Brute, on the Sabbath-day, and bid a Man take up his Bed or bear a Burden on the Sabbath; and now hint that it was not lawful, or that they would so think, to save their Lives by flying on the Sabbath-day: believe this who will. Was it not lawful to pull an Ox, or Sheep out of a Pit on the ⟨p. 149⟩Sabbath-day; or for Men to carry their Goods out of their Houses on the Sabbath-day, if a Fire should then happen? I do not think they were ever so superstitiously blind.
