what soule soever it be that eateth any manner of blood that soul shall be cut off from his people Therefore I said unto the children of Israel that no soule of you shall eat blood nor any that so journe among you shall eat blood they shall powre out the blood and cover it with dust Levit. 17. 10 11 12 13 14. You shall not eat the blood ye shall powre it upon the earth as water the blood is the life and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh thou shalt powre it out upon the earth as water thou shalt not eat it that it may go well with thee and thy children after thee when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord Deut. 12. 16 23 24 25. I answer all these precepts are confined to Israel and their Pr●sselites that are in their dwellings and all the promises in case they obey and do that which is right in the sight of the Lord and all the pennalties in case of disobedience are only to Israel and to their Prosselites that are in their dwellings see all those Scriptures mentioned by him then this is not blinding to Christians for all these Ceremonies are voyd to Christians then he would prove that Christians now are forbidden to eat blood because Noah the Father both of Jewes and Gentiles had this Law given him and his posteritie Gen. 9 4 and all the world is his posterity and by this law are forbidden to eat blood and saith he the Ceremoniall Law was given only to Jewes and their Prosselites but this Law of prohibiting blood was given to the Gentiles in their father Noah therefore it is no part of the Ceremoniall Law I answer by this arguing the sacrifices of the Jewes were not Ceremoniall but Morall because they were long before the ceremoniall law was given even from Caine and Abell and also from Noah the father to those Jewes and Gentiles Ergo wee that are the posterity of Noah must now offer beasts in sacrifice because Abell and Noah did the father of the Gentiles but Christ our Messias hath put an end to all bloody sacrifices by that last and great sacrifice of himselfe unlesse wee should looke for another Saviour and uphold the Jewish Ceremonies till he comes to free us of those beggerly elements Gal. 4 9. for they were Jewish ceremonies although they were in use long before the Jewish Nation was in being and Christ was that Lamb slaine from the beginning of the world Revel 13. 8. for suppose Abell had offered a dog or a swine in sacrifice to the Lord would it have beene accepted no it would have been abominable to him Isa 66. 3. then from the beginning God made them know which beasts were esteemed of him as clean and which uncleane for sacrifice for the Lord said to Noah before the flood take the cleane beasts into the Ark by sevens and he did so then it is plaine we know them Gen. 7. 2. although neither flesh nor blood was then to be eaten yea Abells lamb signified Christ the Lamb of God to his faith to take way his sinnes aswell as the Jewish sacrifices did although he had this Ordinance but by tradition from his Predecessors when as the Jewes had this in a written law for their owne Nation yet all this ended at the sacrifice of Christ then I say all those shaddowes of Christ seased Heb. 10. 1 13 14. and I have shewed blood was forbidden to be eaten because it was to make an atonement for soules Levit. 17. 11. and the blood of Abells lamb did signifie the blood of Christ that was to make an atonement for sin unto his faith and how Christ should redeem us to God by his blood and wash away our sins in his blood Revel 1. 3 4 5. and 9. Heb. 9. 14 19 20 21. 22. and the blood of beasts was powred upon the ground to shew how the blood of Christ was to be spilt for our sins and if any had gone about to save the blood of the lamb that was the type of Christs blood it was all one as if he had saved the blood of Christ f●om being shed for our sins but when Peter made the least motion to keep the blood of Christ from being shed saying this shall not be unto thee that Christ turned him about in a rage saying get thee behind me Satan thou savourest not the things that be of God Mat. 16. 22 23 when he struck at those that came to apprehend Christ he had him put up his sword for they that smite with the sword shall perish with the sword Mat. 26. 52. but when all was finished he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying drinke ye all of it for this is my blood o● the New Testament which was shed for many for the remission of sins Mat. 26. 27 28. so then although the Sacrament of the blood of Christ before his death was to be spilt on the ground yet now they must drink it and it were part of that unpardonable sin now to spill the blood of the Covenant under feet Heb. 10. 29. although it was to be spilt and sprinkled upon the ground before his death But then he will prove this Law of prohibiting bloud to be eaten to be Morall his reason is because bloud is the life of the beast and it is extreame crueltie to eat the bloud when the beast is dead which was the life of it when it was living a cruell thing to eat life it selfe Therefore it is forbidden and not because it is an uncleane thing and forbidden by the Ceremoniall Law but as a cruell thing forbidden by the Morall Law Therefore he concludes it is not Ceremoniall but Morall but here I would know of him whether the seventh Commandement which forbids uncleannesse be not as Morall as the sixth that forbids crueltie Againe is a thing first uncleane and then forbidden of God or whether is it not first forbidden of God and so becomes uncleane It was Gods prohibition that made bloud to be uncleane to Noah and his posteritie and to the Jewish Nation being the visible Church of God and for this man to say Gods prohibition did not put uncleannesse upon the things prohibited is to put uncleannesse upon the holy Law of God and in stead of c●sting the uncleane bloud as water upon the ground this man casts this holy Law of God under feet as an uncleane thing But he saith it is more crueltie to the beast to eat the bloud after the beast is dead than it is to kill it when it was alive because saith he it is more inhumane to 〈◊〉 the flesh of a dead man or to kick it up and downe the streets though the dead body feele no paine than it is to kill a man by hanging him in case the Law hath cond●●ned him although he put him to paine and not the other So saith hee It is a greater
