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. XII.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

The fragments that remain.

IT was a custom and rule, that when they eat together, they should leave something to those that served: which remnant was called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Peah. And it is remarked up∣on R. Joshua, that upon a journey, having something provided for him by an hospitable Widow, he eat all up, and left nothing to her that ministred f 1.1. Where the Gloss: Every one leaves 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a little portion in the dish, and gives it to those that serve, which is called the Servitors part.

Although I would not confound the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 with the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, nor would affirm that what was left was in observation of this rule and custom: yet we may ob∣serve that the twelve Baskets full of Fragments left at this time, answered to the number of the twelve Apostles that ministred. It is otherwise elsewhere.
