All mortall liuing creatures of God (man excepted,) may lawfully be eaten with giuing of thanks. I say first (mortal) by reason of the incorporall angels. I say secondly (liuing) in respect of things inanimate, not apt to yeeld nourishment. I say thirdly, (except man;) because God made the other thinges for man, but not one man for another, Gen. 9. verse 3.5. The proposition is thus proued. Christ reproouing the Pharisies, for their fond opinions in superstitious obseruance of externall ceremonies, (which he termed the traditions of men;) willed al the multitude to hearken vnto him, and to vnderstand, that whatsoeuer was without man, could not defile him when it en∣tered into him, Matt. 15. verse 11. Mar. 7. ver. 15. I knowe and am perswaded through the Lord Iesus, (saith the Apostle) that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe (or by nature:) but to him that iudgeth it to be vncleane. Rom. 14. verse 14. Saint

Peter was long in doubt, concerning this proposition. His rea∣son was, because some meates were made vncleane by the olde law. For which cause he in a vision saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe to him, wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wild beastes, and cree∣ping thinges, and foules of the heauen. And there came a voice to him, bidding him kill and eate. Yet Peter durst not eate, but answered, that hee neuer ate any polluted thing. And the voice spake the second time, willing him not to repute the thinges polluted, which God had purified. Thus Peter did, and thus he erred at that time. And euen so doe many silly soules this day, who make lesse scruple to rap out great othes, horrible blasphemies, and slaunderous speeches against their neigh∣bours; then they doe in eating a peece of cheese, or an egge in Lent: and yet is the one directly against the law of God, the other onely against the tyrannicall constitution of the pope.
