reconciler_n do_v acknowledge_v page_n 74._o into_o favour_n and_o attest_v it_o by_o the_o effusion_n of_o his_o spirit_n on_o we_o say_v the_o jew_n and_o why_o shall_v we_o abandon_v our_o

not_o enough_o it_o seem_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o thing_n there_o mention_v be_v only_o temporary_a but_o we_o be_v call_v to_o a_o fresh_a task_n to_o prove_v that_o church-governor_n be_v now_o at_o liberty_n to_o walk_v uncharitable_o towards_o the_o weak_a and_o to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o god_n for_o meat_n and_o drink_n do_v this_o say_v he_o very_o fair_o and_o we_o be_v satisfy_v this_o any_o man_n will_v think_v a_o fair_a offer_n at_o the_o first_o hear_v but_o upon_o second_o thought_n we_o find_v that_o by_o suppress_v one_o of_o the_o premise_n he_o hide_v a_o sallacy_n

to_o impose_v upon_o the_o weakness_n or_o credulity_n of_o his_o reader_n and_o then_o he_o show_v his_o want_n of_o honesty_n if_o we_o put_v his_o argument_n into_o form_n for_o he_o it_o must_v run_v thus_o he_o that_o say_v those_o rule_n abovementioned_a be_v but_o a_o temporary_a provision_n to_o keep_v the_o peace_n among_o private_a christian_n he_o leave_v church-governor_n at_o

reason_n follow_v for_o in_o this_o very_a chapter_n he_o plain_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n scruple_v by_o the_o weak_a be_v pure_a and_o lawful_a in_o themselves_o and_o that_o he_o know_v and_o be_v persuade_v by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o unclean_a of_o itself_o which_o be_v as_o perfect_v and_o full_a a_o determination_n of_o the_o case_n against_o the_o weak_a as_o word_n can_v make_v let_v we_o take_v notice_n 1._o that_o we_o have_v here_o the_o key_n put_v into_o our_o hand_n by_o the_o apostle_n himself_o to_o open_v and_o unlock_v his_o meaning_n and_o to_o give_v we_o the_o full_a account_n of_o his_o design_n which_o be_v to_o indulge_v the_o jewish_a christian_n who_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o under_o the_o moysaicall_a dispensation_n wherein_o day_n and_o meat_n be_v distinguish_v into_o such_o as_o be_v clean_a or_o unclean_a common_a or_o holy_a which_o can_v concern_v we_o who_o pretend_v to_o no_o such_o distinction_n in_o that_o legal_a sense_n or_o of_o any_o divine_a authority_n have_v observe_v thus_o much_o 2._o i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v declare_v his_o judgement_n in_o the_o case_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n de_fw-la jure_fw-la but_o as_o to_o the_o use_n and_o practice_n of_o they_o at_o rome_n he_o do_v not_o as_o yet_o settle_v or_o determine_v they_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la by_o his_o

de_fw-la facto_fw-la too_o for_o they_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o the_o jure_v unclean_a or_o unlawful_a among_o we_o and_o that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la authority_n have_v settle_v what_o they_o dispute_v against_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v determine_v the_o case_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la we_o have_v his_o own_o concession_n and_o that_o elsewhere_o he_o do_v state_n and_o settle_v it_o de_fw-fr
