The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

VERS. IX▪

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.

In your purses, &c.

THESE things which are forbidden the Disciples by our Saviour, were the or∣dinary provision of travailers; to which the more Religious added also the Book of the Law.

q 1.1 Some Levites travailed to Zoar, the City of Palm trees: and when one of them fell sick by the way, they brought him to an Inn. Coming back they enquired of the Hostess concer∣ning their companion. He is dead, said shee, and I have buried him. And a little after, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 She brought forth to them his staff, and his purse, and the book of the Law, which was in his hand. So the Babylonian Mishnah: but the Jerusalem adds also shoes: and instead of that, which, in the Mishnah, is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 His purse, in the Gemara is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 which was an inner garment with pockets to hold mony, and necessaries.

That also is worthy mention, r 1.2 Let no man enter into the Mount of the Temple. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 with his staff, nor with his shoes nor with his purse, nor with dust on his feet. Which words are thus rendred by the Gemara, Let no man enter into the mount of the Temple, neither with his staff in his hand, nor with his shoes upon his feet, nor with mony bound up in his linnen, nor with a purse ha••ging on his back. s 1.3 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Where the Gloss thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Ponditho is a hollow girdle (or, a hollow belt) in which they put up their mony. See the Aruch in 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Aponda, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Ponda.
