temporary_a canon_n of_o the_o council_n of_o jerusalem_n must_v needs_o give_v very_o great_a offence_n and_o scandal_n to_o the_o christian_n of_o those_o day_n who_o do_v not_o understand_v so_o well_o as_o saint_n paul_n do_v that_o a_o idol_n be_v nothing_o and_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o food_n may_v well_o enough_o be_v prescind_v from_o that_o of_o the_o idol_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o one_o who_o be_v well_o ground_v in_o the_o reason_n of_o thing_n and_o may_v do_v it_o without_o offence_n to_o any_o weak_a than_o himself_o to_o eat_v whatever_o be_v sell_v in_o the_o shambles_n from_o which_o last_o cite_v place_n of_o st._n paul_n we_o may_v observe_v a_o threefold_a difference_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o time_n as_o to_o this_o affair_n first_o there_o be_v some_o and_o they_o the_o most_o perfect_a christian_n in_o which_o number_n st._n paul_n himself_o be_v who_o will_v make_v no_o scruple_n of_o eat_v the_o idolathyta_n though_o they_o know_v they_o to_o be_v such_o so_o they_o may_v do_v it_o without_o scandal_n to_o other_o second_o there_o be_v other_o who_o can_v not_o justify_v to_o themselves_o the_o eat_v of_o such_o food_n but_o yet_o by_o saint_n paul_n permission_n they_o will_v not_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n of_o a_o solicitous_a enquiry_n but_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o remain_v in_o ignorance_n will_v eat_v whatsoever_o be_v sell_v in_o the_o shambles_n ask_v no_o question_n for_o conscience_n sake_n last_o there_o be_v a_o three_o sort_n more_o scrupulous_a than_o either_o of_o the_o former_a who_o think_v themselves_o bind_v not_o to_o eat_v any_o manner_n of_o meat_n but_o what_o they_o be_v sure_o have_v not_o be_v sacrifice_v to_o idol_n and_o it_o be_v to_o these_o especial_o that_o saint_n paul_n condescension_n be_v with_o abundance_n of_o equity_n and_o justice_n make_v because_o their_o scruple_n be_v found_v not_o in_o a_o circumstance_n or_o ceremony_n only_o but_o in_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o devotion_n and_o in_o a_o jealousy_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n the_o second_o instance_n of_o this_o tenderness_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v take_v from_o the_o jewish_a abstinence_n from_o thing_n strangle_v and_o from_o blood_n which_o be_v not_o only_o strict_o enjoin_v by_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o also_o continue_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o same_o temporary_a edict_n of_o the_o jerusalem_n synod_n and_o what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o abstain_v from_o blood_n the_o same_o be_v true_a likewise_o of_o circumcision_n which_o in_o some_o case_n be_v dispense_v with_o even_o after_o conversion_n to_o christianity_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o paul_n circumcise_a timothy_n because_o of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o 16_o of_o the_o act_n and_o it_o be_v his_o advice_n in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n c._n 7._o v._n 18._o be_v any_o man_n call_v be_v circumcise_v let_v he_o not_o become_v uncircumcised_a be_v any_o call_v in_o uncircumcision_n let_v he_o not_o be_v circumcise_v and_o then_o it_o follow_v for_o circumcision_n be_v nothing_o and_o uncircumcision_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n what_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o place_n by_o become_v uncircumcised_a be_v needless_a to_o my_o purpose_n at_o present_a to_o examine_v and_o scarce_o consistent_a with_o modesty_n to_o explain_v but_o that_o which_o be_v more_o pertinent_a to_o my_o design_n at_o present_a to_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v this_o that_o in_o both_o these_o instance_n of_o abstain_v from_o blood_n and_o of_o circumcision_n the_o case_n be_v far_o different_a from_o the_o scruple_n of_o our_o day_n since_o it_o be_v not_o the_o squeamish_a aversation_n of_o a_o ceremony_n but_o a_o obstinate_a adherence_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n on_o which_o those_o scruple_n be_v found_v with_o which_o notwithstanding_o saint_n paul_n as_o it_o be_v on_o purpose_n to_o show_v how_o little_a a_o enemy_n he_o be_v to_o ceremony_n be_v please_v for_o the_o time_n to_o dispense_v although_o the_o retain_v of_o those_o two_o ceremony_n in_o the_o church_n pursue_v into_o those_o consequency_n of_o which_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a do_v in_o reality_n include_v in_o it_o a_o denial_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n for_o circumcision_n what_o be_v it_o but_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o particular_a covenant_n which_o god_n have_v enter_v into_o with_o abraham_n and_o his_o posterity_n whereas_o now_o that_o enclosure_n be_v lay_v open_a and_o that_o partition_n wall_n

their_o own_o than_o that_o of_o a_o break_a spirit_n and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n may_v enter_v and_o be_v happy_a and_o there_o be_v now_o ratify_v a_o new_a and_o better_a covenant_n establish_v
