and_o can_v be_v ascribe_v to_o any_o other_o original_a but_o that_o the_o apostle_n every_o where_o establish_v it_o as_o a_o fence_n about_o the_o gospel_n which_o they_o plant_v so_o that_o our_o

introduction_n to_o animadvert_v upon_o several_a other_o passage_n in_o his_o funeral_n sermon_n which_o i_o think_v my_o undertake_n oblige_v i_o not_o to_o pass_v over_o without_o some_o remark_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o that_o strange_a expression_n which_o he_o use_v of_o the_o apostle_n who_o 7._o who_o p._n 7._o he_o say_v have_v large_a thought_n concern_v the_o idol_n feast_n and_o meat_n offer_v to_o idol_n as_o this_o be_v a_o crude_a and_o indecent_a way_n of_o speak_v of_o a_o apostle_n so_o it_o be_v groundless_a and_o false_a he_o have_v state_v the_o case_n of_o idol_n feast_n and_o of_o eat_v of_o meat_n and_o drink_v of_o drink_n that_o have_v be_v offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n to_o idol_n with_o all_o the_o strictness_n that_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o require_v for_o first_o as_o to_o the_o idol_n feast_n or_o of_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o the_o feast_n in_o the_o heathen_a temple_n which_o be_v join_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n offer_v unto_o idol_n he_o determine_v it_o to_o be_v unlawful_a in_o a_o two_o fold_v respect_n first_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o action_n as_o it_o as_o it_o be_v 21._o be_v 1_o cor._n 10.20_o 21._o demonolatry_n or_o worship_v of_o devil_n and_o hold_v communion_n with_o they_o which_o therefore_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o jealousy_n when_o those_o who_o drink_v his_o cup_n will_v drink_v the_o cup_n of_o devil_n and_o partaker_n of_o his_o table_n will_v also_o partake_v of_o the_o table_n of_o devil_n second_o he_o determine_v it_o to_o be_v unlawful_a with_o respect_n to_o the_o circumstance_n or_o consequence_n of_o the_o action_n because_o those_o pretender_n to_o knowledge_n among_o the_o christian_n who_o frequent_v idol-feast_n do_v not_o only_o confirm_v the_o gentile_n in_o their_o idolatry_n and_o harden_v the_o jew_n in_o their_o unblief_n but_o 12._o but_o 1_o cor._n viii_o v._o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12._o also_o by_o their_o contagious_a example_n draw_v the_o weak_a christian_n to_o pollute_v themselves_o with_o demonolatry_n or_o communion_n with_o devil_n and_o so_o be_v answerable_a to_o god_n for_o cause_v their_o brethren_n to_o perish_v for_o who_o christ_n die_v and_o now_o let_v any_o serious_a man_n consider_v this_o determination_n of_o the_o apostle_n against_o christian_n go_v to_o idol_n temple_n to_o eat_v at_o idol_n feast_n either_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o substance_n or_o circumstance_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o then_o let_v he_o tell_v i_o if_o it_o be_v not_o as_o strict_a and_o free_a from_o latitude_n or_o largeness_n of_o thought_n as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o worship_v the_o one_o true_a god_n and_o have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o he_o the_o like_a strictness_n we_o shall_v also_o find_v in_o determine_v the_o case_n of_o christian_n eat_v of_o meat_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v unto_o idol_n at_o their_o own_o or_o at_o their_o unbelieve_a friend_n house_n for_o it_o seem_v part_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v unto_o idol_n be_v often_o sell_v to_o the_o butcher_n by_o the_o idol-priest_n from_o which_o arise_v two_o question_n among_o the_o christian_n of_o these_o time_n one_o whereof_o be_v whether_o they_o ought_v to_o eat_v what_o be_v buy_v in_o the_o shambles_n at_o their_o own_o house_n because_o what_o they_o eat_v may_v perhaps_o have_v be_v such_o portion_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n as_o the_o idol_n priest_n have_v sell_v to_o the_o butcher_n and_o the_o other_o be_v whether_o they_o ought_v to_o eat_v at_o their_o unconverted_a friend_n or_o relation_n house_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v set_v before_o they_o without_o ask_v if_o it_o have_v be_v any_o part_n of_o those_o sacrifice_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v unto_o idol_n the_o particular_a reason_n of_o this_o late_a question_n be_v as_o i_o conceive_v because_o the_o gentile_n esteem_v those_o portion_n of_o idol_n sacrifice_n as_o more_o holy_a than_o common_a flesh_n and_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o buy_v they_o for_o their_o feast_n and_o entertainment_n if_o they_o can_v get_v they_o to_o these_o two_o question_n the_o apostle_n answer_v in_o general_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o enjoy_v any_o of_o god_n creature_n none_o of_o they_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n impure_a and_o that_o therefore_o they_o may_v safe_o eat_v whatsoever_o be_v sell_v in_o the_o

friend_n house_n be_v portion_n of_o idol_n sacrifice_n or_o no_o but_o then_o if_o any_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o such_o and_o such_o meat_n have_v be_v offer_v unto_o idol_n than_o they_o be_v neither_o to_o buy_v they_o in_o the_o market_n nor_o eat_v of_o they_o at_o their_o own_o or_o at_o their_o friend_n house_n for_o fear_n of_o give_v 32._o give_v 1_o cor._n x_o v._n 25_o 26_o 27_o
