those_o who_o have_v this_o knowledge_n in_o eat_v at_o a_o idol_n temple_n for_o that_o the_o apostle_n himself_o be_v not_o of_o this_o mind_n appear_v from_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o which_o

that_o some_o out_o of_o custom_n to_o the_o idol_n instead_o of_o with_o conscience_n of_o the_o idol_n it_o be_v very_o uncharitable_a by_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v though_o with_o very_o different_a notion_n and_o apprehension_n to_o confirm_v they_o in_o their_o idolatrous_a practice_n though_o these_o know_a gnostic_n who_o believe_v a_o idol_n to_o be_v nothing_o may_v eat_v in_o the_o idol_n temple_n without_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n yet_o th●y_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o those_o who_o believe_v these_o idol_n to_o be_v god_n and_o do_v eat_v that_o meat_n which_o be_v offer_v to_o they_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o sacrifice_n be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o a_o very_a great_a sin_n when_o by_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n though_o without_o idolatry_n they_o encourage_v those_o to_o do_v so_o too_o who_o be_v certain_o guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o it_o and_o the_o guilt_n of_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a because_o though_o they_o shall_v suppose_v it_o lawful_a to_o eat_v at_o a_o idol_n temple_n yet_o they_o be_v under_o no_o necessity_n of_o do_v it_o if_o they_o do_v not_o sin_n in_o it_o yet_o neither_o do_v they_o please_v god_n mere_o by_o eat_v such_o meat_n as_o be_v offer_v to_o idol_n for_o mere_o to_o eat_v or_o not_o to_o eat_v any_o kind_n of_o meat_n be_v not_o in_o itself_o a_o acceptable_a service_n to_o god_n meat_n commend_v we_o not_o to_o god_n for_o neither_o if_o we_o eat_v be_v we_o the_o better_a 8._o neither_o if_o we_o eat_v not_o be_v we_o the_o worse_o and_o therefore_o certain_o we_o may_v abstain_v from_o it_o without_o any_o other_o injury_n than_o lay_v some_o little_a restraint_n upon_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o private_a liberty_n and_o this_o be_v therefore_o a_o proper_a matter_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o christian_a charity_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v discourse_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o though_o the_o gnostic_n think_v that_o eat_n in_o a_o idol_n temple_n be_v a_o great_a argument_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o their_o knowledge_n yet_o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o that_o charity_n and_o the_o care_n of_o their_o brother_n soul_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o such_o a_o vain_a boast_n of_o knowledge_n take_v beed_o lest_o by_o any_o mean_v this_o liberty_n of_o you_o become_v a_o stumbling-block_n to_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a and_o through_o thy_o knowledge_n shall_v the_o weak_a brother_n perish_v 10._o for_o who_o christ_n die_v for_o which_o reason_n in_o the_o beginning_n he_o tell_v they_o knowledge_n puff_v up_o 1._o but_o charity_n edifi_v this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o apostle_n reason_v in_o this_o eight_o chapter_n upon_o a_o supposition_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o eat_v in_o a_o idol_n temple_n now_o what_o affinity_n be_v there_o between_o this_o case_n and_o that_o of_o our_o dissenter_n those_o who_o know_v that_o a_o idol_n be_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o that_o it_o can_v not_o pollute_v the_o meat_n which_o be_v offer_v in_o sacrifice_n to_o it_o may_v eat_v in_o a_o idol_n temple_n without_o idolatry_n but_o yet_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o when_o their_o example_n though_o innocent_a in_o itself_o will_v confirm_v other_o in_o actual_a idolatry_n therefore_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n must_v not_o prescribe_v the_o decent_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o worship_n because_o dissenter_n will_v not_o obey_v they_o but_o turn_v schismatic_n if_o our_o reconciler_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o argue_v at_o this_o rate_n i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o confute_v he_o but_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o mistake_v the_o case_n for_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n grant_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o for_o christian_n to_o eat_v of_o thing_n offer_v to_o idol_n 127._o he_o shall_v have_v add_v in_o a_o idol_n temple_n where_o it_o have_v a_o immediate_a relation_n to_o the_o idol_n which_o be_v the_o matter_n in_o dispute_n between_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o gnostic_n because_o a_o idol_n be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o now_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o grant_v this_o but_o only_o at_o present_a suppose_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n he_o profess_o confute_v it_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o to_o partake_v of_o a_o sacrifice_n signify_v our_o communion_n with_o that_o be_v to_o who_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v 10._o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o jewish_a sacrifice_n behold_v israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o they_o which_o eat_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n partaker_n of_o the_o altar_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o commemorative_n sacrifice_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o idol_n sacrifice_n in_o the_o idol_n temple_n be_v communion_n with_o the_o idol_n well_o say_v the_o gnostick_n what_o communion_n can_v there_o be_v with_o that_o which_o be_v not_o or_o will_v you_o say_v that_o a_o idol_n be_v any_o thing_n or_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v in_o sacrifice_n to_o idol_n be_v any_o thing_n will_v you_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o god_n as_o the_o heathen_n worship_n or_o will_v you_o say_v that_o that_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n or_o that_o that_o meat_n be_v pollute_v which_o be_v offer_v to_o nothing_o no_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o god_n as_o the_o heathen_n worship_n for_o they_o worship_v dead_a man_n and_o woman_n who_o can_v be_v present_a at_o their_o sacrifice_n to_o receive_v their_o worship_n or_o it_o may_v be_v they_o worship_v only_o some_o fanciful_a and_o poetic_a name_n and_o fiction_n but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o though_o jupiter_n and_o bacchus_n minerva_n and_o diana_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o poetic_a deity_n be_v mere_a fictitious_a god_n yet_o wicked_a spirit_n supply_v their_o place_n receive_v their_o worship_n and_o attend_v their_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o though_o these_o heathen_a idolater_n be_v not_o in_o communion_n with_o those_o fictitious_a god_n who_o they_o pretend_v to_o worship_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o communion_n with_o devil_n who_o assume_v the_o name_n of_o these_o go_n but_o i_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o gentile_n sacrifice_v they_o sacrifice_v to_o devil_n and_o not_o to_o god_n and_o i_o will_v not_o that_o you_o shall_v have_v fellowship_n with_o devil_n whether_o this_o can_v be_v reconcile_v with_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o eat_v in_o a_o idol_n temple_n because_o a_o idol_n be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n let_v our_o author_n consider_v but_o he_o proceed_v he_o the_o apostle_n moreover_o grant_v that_o they_o who_o out_o of_o conscience_n do_v abstain_v from_o eat_v of_o such_o thing_n have_v a_o weak_a conscience_n and_o that_o their_o conscience_n be_v defile_v by_o eat_v of_o such_o thing_n only_o because_o they_o want_v knowledge_n or_o be_v not_o well_o persuade_v of_o this_o truth_n that_o christian_n have_v a_o liberty_n or_o power_n to_o be_v
