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.
Lightfoot, John, 1602-1675., G. B. (George Bright), d. 1696., Strype, John, 1643-1737.
VERS. VI.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.
Take thy bill, &c.
THAT is, take from me 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the schrol of thy contract which thou deliveredst to me, and make a new one, of fifty measures only, that are owing by thee. But it seems a great inequality, that he should abate one, fifty in an hundred measures of Oyl, and the other but twenty out of an hundred measures of Wheat. Unless the mea∣sures of Wheat exceeded the measure of Oyl ten times: so that when there were twenty Cori of Wheat abated the debtor, there were abated to him two hundred Baths or Ephah's.
