by Moses alleadged to that end neither can by any at this day be so applied as before we shewed And as you teach contrary to Pauls Doctrine unto the Romans so do you the like to that which he taught the Corinths For will you say unto us in Amsterdam as he said to them in Corinth Whatsoever is sold in the shambles eat and whatsoever is set before you by an unbeliever eat making no question for conscience sake Then may we eat both blood and strangled seeing some such things are often sold and set on Table before us But you by your Letter would have us touch no Idolathites eat no strangled taste no blood and this you teach as firme and a sure Doctrine to this day as any other testimony of holy Scriptures to be observed of all the true faithful till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ And if this be so then it behoveth us to ask many questions for conscience sake otherwise then Paul taught For we must enquire at the shambles touching every * little beast bird that we buy whether it were duely slaine or no and the blood let out according to the law Levit. 17.13 At every strangers table that we come we must do the like both for strangled things and blood which often is mixed with other meats especially of broths wherein meat not throughly cleansed of the blood is boiled Yea we must come to the Jews superstition that buy not their flesh at the shambles of the Gentiles but flay them themselves for the perfect letting out the blood for otherwise we may offend like the Israelites in the days of Saul 1 Sam. 14.32 33,34 Thus as Paul taught a Doctrine of Christian liberty and comfort for the conscience in meats and drinks so you teach a Doctrine of bondage yea of fear and doubt and distraction of Soul whiles you urge abstinence from these things even as any other Doctrine of the Gospel The Lord Jesus which cast out that dumb spirit that rent and tare the possessed mans body and threw him to the ground and sometimes into the fire sometimes into the water cast out by his grace this spirit of error from you that thus distracteth and tortureth the conscience and casteth it down to earthly traditions and rudiments of the world At the least he preserve us and all his from it and stablish our hearts with grace not with meats in which they have not been profited that have walked These things have we written according to the measure of grace given unto us for your good and reclaiming if such be the will of God which we desire If not yet for the confirmation of others in the truth and liberty of Christ and discharge of our duties before him who as he hath in mercie vouchsafed us the kingdome of his grace here on earth so let him in like mercie give us and all his people in due time the kingdome of his glory in the heavens Amen The Elders of the English Church at Amsterdam subscribing in the name and with consent of the whole Church Fran Iohnson Henr Ainsworth Daniel Studley Stanshal Mercer Amsterdam Mon. 12. 7. 1602.
