Mt 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? If sheep can be lifted out of its suffering on the Sabbath, why not much more a man? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. If the Sabbath day would preclude one from doing good, then it would be an evil.
How much then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore it is lawfull to doe well on the Sabbath dayes.
