And he sayde vnto the: whiche of you wolde it be yf he had a shepe fallen into a pitte on ye saboth daye that wolde not take him and lyft him out?
Nothing does so much turn our life upside down, as delay and procrastination in the performance of our good works. Nay, this has often caused us to lose all.John Chrysostom, OHomily 16 on Matthew, 13
And how moche is a man better the a shepe? Wherfore it is lefull to do a good dede on the saboth dayes.Matthew 12:12 TYN
and beholde ther was a man whiche had his hande dryed vp. And they axed him sayinge: ys it lawfull to heale apon ye saboth dayes? because they myght acuse him.Matthew 12:10 TYN
