Which was against the common Rule and Practise, but was justified by that Supreme Law of Necessity, and by a just Impediment, which made the doing of this in its proper time, to [illegible: 1 word] the 14th. Day of the first Month, impossible, because the Temple was not cleansed nor they prepared till that time was past, [illegible: 1 word]. 29. 3. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. Compare Numb, 9. 10, 11.
