Verse 11. Not that which goeth into the man, &c.]
Whether with clean or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hands, taken meat 〈◊〉〈◊〉 not the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 guilty of Gods wrath. What? Not if abused to surfeting and drunken∣nesse? saith Bellarmine, who is angry with Christ for this doctrine* 1.1 (as making against theirs directly) and therefore seeks to dis∣prove him. We answer for and with Christ: that he speaks here of the moderate use of meats, which is indifferent. As for the abuse of it to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and excesse, this is an evil that cometh out of the heart, and defileth the man, as being a flat breach of the law of God, who every where condemns it.
But that which cometh out of the mouth]
That is, out of the heart that muck-hill, thorow the mouth, as thorow a dung-port, that defileth a man worse then any jakes can do. Hence sin is called filthinesse, abomination, the vomit of a dog, the devils ex∣crements, &c. The very visible 〈◊〉〈◊〉 are 〈◊〉〈◊〉 by it, and must therefore be purged by 〈◊〉〈◊〉, as those vessels were that held 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sin-offering. As for the soul, sin sets such engrained stains up∣on it, as nothing can fetch out, but the bloud of Christ that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 lamb.
