Notes

Contains a section, "The Jew and the Christian," in which a Jew who falls in a well on his Sabbath declines the offer of a ladder from his Christian friend to rescue him and the Christian, in turn, declines to help the Jew the following day on Sunday, his Sabbath rest day. Evans 20732. MWA holds a variant ed. in which "An Emblem of a Law Case" appears in place of "The Jew and the Christian."
