that_o you_o abstain_v from_o blood_n this_o decree_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o gentile_n for_o the_o jew_n be_v then_o and_o before_o zealous_a enough_o in_o abstain_v from_o blood_n by_o virtue_n

etc._n etc._n and_o why_o they_o impose_v this_o decree_n or_o canon_n upon_o the_o convert_a gentile_n 1._o to_o this_o we_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o answ_n apostle_n direct_v by_o the_o holy_a

every_o 21._o act_n 15._o 21._o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v in_o that_o very_a council_n so_o we_o ourselves_o at_o our_o table_n forbear_v the_o set_n on_o of_o certain_a meat_n which_o ourselves_o like_v because_o they_o will_v be_v offensive_a to_o some_o of_o our_o invite_a guest_n as_o swine_n flesh_n cheese_n and_o such_o like_a yet_o this_o discipline_n of_o abstain_v from_o blood_n be_v not_o intend_v to_o be_v a_o continual_a and_o stand_a law_n in_o christianity_n but_o only_o a_o temporary_a ordinance_n and_o to_o last_v no_o long_o than_o there_o be_v danger_n

of_o god_n in_o his_o pure_a godhead_n and_o only_o as_o god_n the_o word_n and_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n only_o and_o without_o incarnation_n can_v not_o be_v our_o redeemer_n

thereby_o real_o the_o son_n of_o man_n he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o christ_n neither_o can_v any_o obligation_n or_o engagement_n have_v be_v upon_o he_o to_o perform_v the_o law_n which_o law_n be_v impose_v only_o upon_o mankind_n neither_o can_v he_o have_v redeem_v we_o because_o he_o can_v not_o die_v be_v not_o mortal_a otherwise_o then_o by_o assume_v our_o mortal_a nature_n into_o

be_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man._n 2._o second_o we_o say_v that_o although_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v real_o assume_v a_o body_n and_o
