Matthew 12:7
Verse 7 I will have mercy, etc. - See this explained, Mat 9:13. There are four ways in which positive laws may cease to oblige. First, by the natural law of necessity. Secondly, by a particular law, which is superior. Thirdly, by the law of charity and mercy. Fourthly, by the dispensation and authority of the Lawgiver. These cases are all exemplified from Mat 12:4-8.
