Q. Is it lawfull then to eate flesh?

A. To him that is pure all things are pure; Gods children may eate any thing if it be re∣ceiued with thankes, for the beasts were created not only to serue but also to feede man; and good reason hath man to kill the beasts for his foode: both because God hath giuen him authoritie so to doe. As also, be∣cause Noah preserued in the Arke the beasts from drowning, and man doth yet preserue their life in prouiding and caring for them. Therefore he should receiue this benefite of them; but as for the wicked they haue no interest other then ciuil in any of Gods crea∣tures, they eate and drinke not by right, but by vsurpation, if wee consider the freedome of grace.
