Luke11:38

38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

Matth. 15.2. the Pharisees quarrelled with the Disciples upon this account, here this Pharisee is offended at Christ himself, Mark gives us the reason of it, Mark 7.3. For the Pharisees, and all the Iews except they wash their hands eat not; holding the tradition of the elders. Concerning this tradition of theirs and the ground of it, see the Notes on Matth. 15.2. and Mark 7.3. we would all be infallible and therefore cannot allow others to differ from us in a rite, which hath no foundation in Gods Word, and wonder at those who cannot see with our Eyes, nor practice according to our Latitudes.
