A76915	A bloudy tenent confuted, or, Bloud forbidden: shewing the unlawfulnesse of eating bloud, in what manner of thing soever. Wherein is clearely proved by Scripture, that eating of bloud was alwaies unlawfull both to Jewes and Gentiles; and is still unlawfull for Christians under the Gospell. With an answer to all objections to the contrary: and the vindicating of this opinion from Judaisme.		1646 (1646)	Wing B3293; Thomason E506_9; ESTC R205329	8,134	10

we_o as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n that_o i_o shall_v do_v thus_o first_o because_o this_o law_n of_o forbid_v to_o eat_v blood_n be_v give_v to_o noah_n the_o father_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o

enough_o long_o before_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n so_o that_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v argue_v thus_o 1_o this_o law_n be_v give_v to_o the_o father_n of_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n for_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n but_o all_o the_o world_n be_v the_o posterity_n of_o noah_n to_o who_o this_o law_n be_v give_v ergo_fw-la all_o the_o world_n be_v bind_v to_o this_o law_n of_o forbid_v to_o eat_v blood_n 2_o thus_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n only_o and_o to_o such_o as_o shall_v become_v their_o proselyte_n but_o the_o law_n of_o prohibit_v to_o eat_v blood_n be_v give_v to_o the_o gentile_n in_o their_o father_n noah_n and_o that_o long_a before_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n to_o the_o jew_n ergo_fw-la the_o forbid_v to_o eat_v blood_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n second_o i_o prove_v this_o law_n of_o forbid_v to_o eat_v blood_n to_o be_v moral_a and_o to_o bind_v all_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n thus_o because_o it_o be_v give_v upon_o a_o moral_a reason_n viz._n because_o blood_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o beast_n gen._n 9.4_o that_o be_v it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o extreme_a cruelty_n and_o unmercifulnesse_n to_o eat_v that_o when_o the_o beast_n be_v dead_a which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o it_o whilst_o it_o be_v live_v a_o cruel_a thing_n to_o eat_v life_n itself_o and_o therefore_o almost_o continual_o that_o reason_n be_v give_v why_o blood_n shall_v not_o be_v be_v eat_v because_o it_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o beast_n not_o because_o it_o be_v a_o unclean_a thing_n as_o thing_n forbid_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o as_o a_o cruel_a thing_n forbid_v as_o a_o moral_a law_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v argue_v thus_o thing_n forbid_v to_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v for_o some_o positive_a or_o typical_a uncleanness_n put_v upon_o they_o but_o blood_n be_v not_o forbid_v to_o be_v eat_v as_o have_v some_o positive_a or_o typical_a uncleanness_n but_o as_o a_o token_n of_o a_o merciless_a cruel_a heart_n and_o disposition_n ergo._n the_o law_n of_o forbid_v to_o eat_v blood_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o some_o may_v say_v it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o great_a token_n of_o cruelty_n to_o kill_v the_o beast_n then_o to_o eat_v the_o blood_n when_o it_o be_v dead_a for_o in_o the_o one_o the_o beast_n feel_v pain_n not_o in_o the_o other_o ans_fw-fr the_o kill_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v permit_v to_o we_o as_o of_o necessity_n to_o make_v it_o fit_a for_o our_o use_n and_o can_v be_v avoid_v and_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o blood_n after_o a_o beast_n be_v dead_a though_o the_o beast_n than_o feel_v no_o harm_n nor_o pain_n yet_o may_v it_o be_v a_o great_a token_n of_o cruelty_n then_o to_o kill_v it_o whilst_o it_o be_v alive_a as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o familiar_a example_n it_o be_v a_o great_a token_n of_o cruelty_n and_o inhumanity_n to_o tear_v the_o flesh_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n or_o to_o kick_v it_o up_o and_o down_o the_o street_n or_o to_o abuse_v it_o though_o the_o dead_a body_n feel_v no_o pain_n than_o it_o be_v to_o kill_v a_o man_n by_o hang_v he_o in_o case_n the_o law_n have_v condemn_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o over_o to_o execution_n and_o yet_o that_o put_v the_o party_n to_o pain_n and_o not_o the_o other_o so_o here_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n and_o token_n of_o cruelty_n in_o we_o to_o eat_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o dead_a beast_n be_v the_o life_n of_o it_o whilst_o it_o be_v though_o the_o beast_n feel_v no_o pain_n than_o it_o be_v to_o kill_v a_o beast_n which_o god_n by_o his_o permission_n have_v deliver_v into_o our_o hand_n for_o food_n although_o by_o the_o slay_v it_o seek_v pain_n and_o in_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o blood_n none_o so_o i_o conceive_v this_o second_o thing_n be_v clear_a that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o ceremonial_a but_o bind_v both_o jew_n and_o christian_n i_o may_v add_v the_o text_n again_o act._n 15._o forbid_v the_o gentile_n but_o more_o
