my_o dear_a decease_a friend_n from_o this_o general_a ground_n that_o every_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a seem_v to_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n except_v but_o every_o one_o may_v be_v receive_v or_o eat_v with_o thanksgiving_n now_o this_o consequence_n seem_v to_o i_o not_o good_a nor_o rational_a nor_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o conclude_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o use_n of_o every_o creature_n from_o the_o goodness_n of_o it_o in_o itself_o and_o for_o those_o end_n for_o which_o by_o the_o infinite_a power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n they_o be_v create_v for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o every_o creature_n without_o a_o exception_n be_v good_a but_o than_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o every_o creature_n without_o a_o exception_n may_v lawful_o be_v receive_v and_o use_v for_o meat_n in_o the_o text_n the_o apostle_n condemn_v the_o apostate_n from_o the_o faith_n for_o command_v to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n which_o god_n create_v to_o be_v receive_v or_o eat_v this_o be_v their_o error_n and_o tyranny_n to_o forbid_v man_n the_o use_n of_o those_o creature_n for_o their_o food_n which_o god_n have_v

every_o creature_n of_o god_n without_o exception_n be_v good_a and_o not_o to_o be_v refuse_v if_o receive_v with_o thanksgiving_n but_o with_o this_o limitation_n every_o creature_n which_o god_n

for_o when_o the_o apostle_n write_v the_o first_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n there_o be_v many_o creature_n which_o though_o good_a in_o themselves_o and_o for_o the_o end_n they_o be_v make_v be_v
