Let Christs Disciples pluck but some ears of corn, only to ⟨p. 264⟩make necessary satisfaction to natural hunger, verse 1. the Pharisee will presently pluck at Christ himself, and murmur him not to be a pattern of obedience, but a pattern of licentiousness, Behold thy Disciples do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day. verse 2.

If Christ doth step from the field into the Synagogue, verse 9. there also shall he have the catching attendance of the Pharisee. Malicious hatred is like the shadow which will pursue the body of pious actions. Here he no sooner finds a fit object for his mercy, but the Pharisees endeavoured to divert the execution by an ensnaring scruple, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days, verse 10. as though the duties of piety justled out all offices of charity, and that God, who commanded sacrifice, had not also preferred mercy. They themselves would reach forth the courtesy of relief to a distressed beast, v. 11. and therefore Christ might justly lend his hand of merciful Charity to a diseased person, verse 12.
