THE
Absurdity
and
Falsness
OF
T.
TRION's
Doctrine
Manifest
,
&c.
In
his
BOOK
The
Way
to
Health
,
&c.
p.
513.
It
's
said
,
Let
Man
know
this
for
a
certain
truth
,
that
the
groaning
of
that
Creature
that
suffereth
wrong
,
is
the
beginning
of
Pain
and
Torment
to
him
that
doth
it
.
Now
,
Gen.
4.
4.
Abel
(
who
Christ
,
Mat
.
23.
25.
called
Righteous
)
brought
of
the
Firstlings
of
the
Flock
,
and
of
the
Fat
thereof
,
and
the
Lord
had
respect
to
his
Offering
.
From
whence
I
Query
,
1.
Whether
that
Creature
suffered
wrong
?
2.
If
so
;
Whether
the
Killing
of
the
Firstling
was
the
beginning
of
Abel's
Pain
and
Torment
?
And
in
p.
342.
T.
T.
saith
,
There
is
greater
Evil
and
Misery
attends
Mankind
by
killing
and
oppressing
his
fellow
Creatures
,
and
eating
their
Flesh
,
and
that
without
distinction
,
than
is
generally
apprehended
,
&c.
From
whence
I
Query
,
1.
Whether
Righteous
Abel
committed
Evil
in
Killing
the
Firstling
?
2.
Whethar
the
Firstling
was
his
fellow
Creature
?
And
,
3.
Whether
every
living
Creature
,
as
a
Dog
,
a
Cat
,
a
Lamb
,
a
Fish
,
&c.
be
Man's
fellow
Creature
?
And
,
4.
Whether
Abel
was
an
Oppressor
for
Killing
the
Firstling
?
And
the
aforesaid
342
p.
T.
T.
saith
,
Had
Man
continued
in
the
pure
Law
of
God
,
and
followed
the
voice
and
Dictates
of
the
divine
Principle
which
he
was
Created
to
live
in
,
he
would
have
been
far
from
Oppressing
,
Killing
and
Eating
the
Flesh
and
Blood
of
Beasts
.
—
From
whence
I
Query
,
1.
What
Voice
,
Principle
and
Dictates
did
Abel
follow
when
he
killed
the
Firstling
,
seeing
the
Scriptures
say
,
God
had
respect
to
Abel
,
and
to
his
Offering
,
and
Christ
calleth
him
Righteous
Abel
?
And
,
2.
Could
he
be
Righteous
,
and
yet
departed
from
the
pure
Law
of
God
?
and
if
not
departed
from
the
pure
Law
of
God
,
(
he
would
have
been
far
from
Oppressing
and
Killing
,
&c.
saith
T.
T.
And
in
412
p.
of
the
said
Book
,
T.
T.
saith
,
Abel's
Blood
cryed
unto
the
Lord
;
the
very
same
is
to
be
understood
in
all
kinds
of
Oppression
both
to
Man
and
Beasts
;
they
all
by
a
sweet
sympathetical
Operation
call
for
Vengeance
.
And
in
p.
413.
T.
T.
saith
,
Every
violent
Action
and
Oppression
,
let
it
be
little
or
much
,
or
offer'd
unto
whatsoever
Creatures
,
does
as
naturally
and
spiritually
awaken
in
them
and
without
them
,
the
fierce
Wrath
of
God
and
Nature
,
as
the
Blood
of
innocent
Abel
did
cry
,
and
awaken
the
Lord
;
whence
Cain's
Judgment
proceeded
.
And
in
p.
513
,
514.
he
maketh
the
Beast
say
,
We
move
the
Principles
of
Nature
by
a
certain
sympathetical
Operation
,
which
awakens
the
Wrath
,
and
draws
down
Judgments
on
the
Oppressor
.
From
whence
I
Query
,
1.
Seeing
T.
T.
mostly
joyns
Oppressing
and
Killing
together
,
whether
the
Blood
of
the
Firstling
or
Lamb
Abel
killed
,
cryed
to
the
Lord
(
as
Abel's
did
)
(
or
by
a
sympathetical
Operation
,
as
his
term
is
)
for
Vengeance
on
Righteous
Abel
,
whom
T.
T.
acknowledgeth
to
be
Innocent
?
And
,
2.
Whether
Mans
Killing
of
any
Creature
whatsoever
,
as
any
Beasts
,
Fowl
,
Fish
,
Worm
,
Frog
or
Louse
,
does
awaken
within
and
without
them
the
fierce
wrath
of
God
and
Nature
,
as
the
Blood
of
Innocent
Abel
did
?
And
,
3.
Whether
the
Lamb
Abel
killed
,
or
Man's
killing
any
Creature
whatsoever
,
did
(
or
would
so
)
move
the
Principles
of
Nature
,
&c.
as
to
awaken
the
wrath
,
and
draw
down
Judgments
on
Righteous
Abel
,
or
on
any
that
shall
Kill
any
Creature
whatsoever
without
exception
.
Also
the
like
may
be
queryed
of
Righteous
Noah's
Offering
of
every
clean
Beast
and
Fowl
,
Gen.
8.
20.
and
whether
his
Killing
them
were
from
the
dark
Root
,
and
wrath
,
and
doth
awaken
,
&c.
as
aforesaid
.
I
also
Query
from
what
T.
T.
saith
in
the
afore-recited
Page
514
,
and
515.
1.
Whether
Abel
and
Noah
proved
disobedient
to
the
voice
of
Wisdom
,
or
kept
to
the
Essential
Law
of
God
by
(
or
in
)
Killing
the
Lamb
,
clean
Beast
,
&
c
?
2.
And
whether
Abel
and
Noah
entred
with
their
Desires
,
not
only
into
the
Nature
of
the
wild
savage
Beasts
of
Prey
,
but
awakened
the
fierce
Wrath
,
and
thereby
deprived
themselves
of
the
divine
understanding
,
and
did
invade
the
Rights
and
Priviledges
of
the
inferiour
Creatures
by
killing
the
Firstling
,
clean
Beast
,
&
c
?
3.
If
so
,
whether
God
will
not
retaliate
the
wrong
of
the
Lamb
,
clean
Beast
,
&c.
whose
blood
Abel
and
Noah
shed
,
on
Righteous
Abel
and
Noah
,
that
offered
the
same
,
or
the
Fat
thereof
?
I
also
query
the
same
of
Abrahams
killing
the
Lamb
caught
in
the
thicket
?
And
in
T.
T's
book
,
intituled
,
The
way
to
make
all
rich
,
or
Wisdom's
Call
,
p.
45
,
46.
he
saith
,
That
Flesh
and
Fish
cannot
be
eaten
without
violence
,
and
doing
that
which
a
man
would
not
be
done
unto
,
and
making
destruction
of
Gods
Creatures
;
—
All
kind
of
Violence
,
whether
towards
our
Kind
,
or
inferiour
Creatures
,
arises
from
the
Awakened
wrath
in
Nature
,
and
that
the
same
does
by
Simile
excite
the
fierce
,
wrathful
Principle
in
the
man
that
kills
and
eats
them
,
and
renders
him
prompt
and
ready
for
any
Acts
of
Cruelty
or
Oppression
.
Now
I
read
in
Luk
.
24.
42
,
43.
And
they
gave
him
(
that
is
Christ
)
a
piece
of
broiled
fish
,
and
of
an
Honey-comb
;
and
he
took
it
and
did
eat
before
them
.
Note
,
This
was
after
his
Crucifixion
,
and
Resurrection
.
From
whence
I
Query
,
1.
Whether
Christ
Jesus
did
commit
Violence
?
2.
Did
he
break
that
golden
Rule
he
laid
down
,
and
do
as
he
would
not
be
done
unto
?
3.
Did
he
make
destruction
of
Gods
Creatures
?
4.
Did
his
eating
Fish
arise
from
the
awakened
wrath
in
Nature
in
him
?
5.
Did
the
same
by
Simile
excite
the
fierce
,
wrathful
Principle
(
if
I
may
without
Blasphemy
so
say
)
in
Christ
Jesus
,
after
his
Crucifixion
and
Resurrection
,
and
render
him
prompt
and
ready
for
any
Acts
of
Cruelty
or
Oppression
?
6.
Did
the
Disciples
or
the
9000
men
,
besides
Women
and
Children
,
which
all
eat
of
the
Loaves
and
Fishes
at
Christs
command
,
commit
violence
,
and
do
as
they
would
not
be
done
to
?
and
did
they
make
destruction
of
Gods
Creatures
?
And
was
their
eating
Fish
(
at
Christs
command
or
direction
)
from
the
Awakened
wrath
in
Nature
?
and
did
their
eating
by
Simile
excite
the
fierce
wrathful
Principle
,
and
render
them
prompt
and
ready
for
any
Acts
of
Cruelty
or
Oppression
,
as
Murder
,
Blood-shed
,
and
what
not
?
And
can
any
Christian
believe
,
that
ever
Christ
would
have
commanded
such
a
great
multitude
(
as
we
may
read
Mat
.
14.
v.
17
,
18
,
19.
and
Chap.
15.
v.
34
,
35
,
36
,
37.
)
to
have
eat
Fish
,
&c.
(
and
wrought
such
a
Miracle
as
he
did
for
them
)
if
their
Eating
would
have
been
of
such
ill
consequence
,
as
T.
T.
affirms
the
were
Fruits
of
Hell
;
and
whether
their
killing
was
from
the
Original
Spring
and
Dark
Fountain
of
wrath
and
eternal
Woe
?
2.
Whether
the
killing
(
seeing
it
's
said
any
Creature
)
of
a
Lamb
,
Gudgeon
,
Bird
,
Worm
,
Frog
,
Louse
or
Flea
,
or
any
other
Creature
,
proceeds
from
the
awakened
Wrath
of
God
in
man
,
or
the
Original
Spring
of
Wrath
,
and
is
a
fruit
of
the
Kingdom
of
Darkness
and
of
Hell
,
and
will
produce
eternal
woe
to
them
that
do
it
?
And
whether
Abrahams
killing
the
Ram
caught
in
the
Thicket
,
did
proceed
from
the
Wrath
of
God
,
&c.
and
was
a
Fruit
of
Hell
,
&c.
And
seeing
that
T.
T.
saith
,
Do
no
violence
to
any
Inferiour
Creatures
,
nor
in
no
kind
Oppress
,
hurry
or
kill
them
;
nor
eat
the
Blood
or
Flesh
of
Beasts
,
that
so
they
may
avoid
the
Incorporating
of
the
Beastial
,
Savage
and
Sensual
Properties
,
p.
75.
Wisdoms
call
.
1.
Query
:
Whether
the
Viper
mentioned
Acts
28.
3.
was
not
an
Inferiour
Creature
;
and
if
so
,
Whether
Paul
did
in
no
kind
hurry
,
oppress
or
kill
that
Creature
,
when
he
shook
it
off
into
the
Fire
,
as
in
verse
6.
And
2ly
,
Whether
his
so
doing
was
any
Act
of
Violence
,
in
any
kind
,
and
did
wholly
proceed
from
the
Wrath
of
God
in
Nature
,
and
the
very
same
Root
Backbiting
doth
,
&
c
?
And
seeing
T.
T.
saith
,
as
before
,
Do
no
violence
to
any
Inferiour
Creatures
,
nor
in
no
kind
oppress
,
hurry
or
Kill
them
.
I
Query
:
1.
Why
then
doth
T.
T.
give
nine
Receipts
,
or
prescribe
nine
several
ways
how
to
kill
Buggs
and
Fleas
?
Or
doth
T.
T.
account
them
no
kind
of
Inferiour
Creatures
?
If
so
,
let
him
prove
it
:
but
if
otherwise
,
why
doth
T.
T.
direct
to
that
which
cannot
be
done
,
without
Acting
from
the
Spring
of
Wrath
?
and
will
not
the
killing
of
them
,
if
Creatures
,
be
some
kind
of
Violence
?
And
therein
,
and
in
killing
(
without
distinction
)
consists
(
saith
he
)
the
Kingdom
of
Satan
and
Wrath
;
and
killing
,
and
the
like
Enormities
,
says
he
,
are
the
Fruits
of
Hell
;
for
killing
of
any
Creature
,
saith
he
,
proceeds
from
the
Original
Spring
of
wrath
,
and
in
wrath
doth
Satans
Kingdom
stand
:
Why
then
,
say
I
,
doth
he
direct
People
,
and
teach
them
how
they
shall
bring
forth
the
Fruits
of
Hell
?
doth
the
holy
Scriptures
or
right
Reason
enjoyn
to
this
?
And
seeing
in
his
Call
to
Wisdom
,
so
termed
,
&c.
p.
68.
T.
T.
saith
,
I
am
far
from
the
Vanity
or
rather
Wickedness
of
desiring
to
Start
or
promote
any
new
Sect
or
Party
,
and
have
no
Ambition
,
to
impose
my
own
Dictates
on
any
,
further
than
Holy
Scriptures
and
right
Reason
enjoyn
.
From
whence
I
Query
,
1.
Where
doth
the
Holy
Scriptures
say
,
If
man
had
kept
or
continued
in
the
pure
Law
of
God
,
and
followed
the
voice
and
dictates
of
the
Divine
Principle
,
&c.
he
would
have
been
far
from
killing
or
eating
the
Flesh
of
the
Beasts
?
2.
Where
doth
the
Scripture
say
,
That
the
Blood
of
Beasts
,
when
they
are
killeed
by
a
sweet
simpathetical
Operation
calls
for
vengeance
,
as
Abels
Blood
cryed
to
the
Lord
?
3.
Where
doth
the
Scripture
say
,
Every
violent
Action
and
Oppression
,
let
it
be
little
or
much
,
or
offered
unto
whatsoever
Creature
,
does
as
naturally
and
spiritually
awaken
in
them
and
without
them
,
the
fierce
wrath
of
God
and
Nature
,
as
the
Blood
of
Innocent
Abel
did
cry
and
awaken
the
Lord
,
whence
Cains
Judgments
did
proceed
?
4.
Where
doth
the
Scripture
say
,
The
Beasts
move
the
Principle
of
Nature
,
by
a
certain
sympathetical
Operation
,
which
awakens
the
wrath
,
and
draws
down
Judgments
on
the
Oppressors
?
5.
Where
doth
the
Scripture
say
,
That
Flesh
and
Fish
cannot
be
eaten
without
violence
,
and
doing
that
which
a
man
would
not
be
done
unto
,
and
making
destruction
of
Gods
Creatures
?
6.
Where
doth
the
holy
Scriptures
say
,
All
kind
of
violence
,
whether
towards
our
Kind
,
or
upon
Inferiour
Creatures
,
arises
from
the
awakened
wrath
in
Nature
,
and
that
the
same
doth
by
Simile
excite
the
fierce
wrathful
Principle
,
in
the
man
that
kills
and
eats
them
;
and
renders
him
prompt
for
any
Acts
of
Cruelty
or
Oppression
?
7.
Where
doth
the
Holy
Scripture
say
,
If
man
had
kept
his
high
and
illustrious
State
of
that
Dominion
over
the
Creatures
,
he
would
have
been
far
from
killing
them
,
or
eating
their
Flesh
;
nor
have
made
his
Body
,
which
ought
to
have
been
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Spirit
,
a
Stinking
Sepulcher
,
or
common
Burial-place
,
for
the
Dead
Bodies
of
Beasts
?
Or
where
doth
it
say
,
that
the
Noble
Faculties
of
the
Soul
come
to
be
depraved
thereby
?
8.
Where
doth
the
Holy
Scripture
say
,
When
ever
any
man
does
hurt
,
oppress
,
kill
,
or
speak
evil
of
any
other
Creature
,
it
proceeds
from
this
Original
Spring
of
Wrath
?
9.
Where
doth
Holy
Scripture
say
,
Do
no
Violence
to
any
Inferiour
Creature
;
nor
in
no
kind
hurry
,
oppress
or
kill
them
,
nor
eat
the
Blood
or
Flesh
of
Beasts
;
that
so
they
may
avoid
the
Incorporating
of
the
Bestial
Savage
and
Sensual
Properties
?
10.
Where
doth
the
Holy
Scriptures
say
,
The
greatest
excellency
,
and
common
virtue
of
mens
eating
much
Flesh
and
Fish
,
is
,
That
it
makes
them
Surly
,
Robustick
,
Sordid
,
and
of
cruel
inhumane
Dispositions
and
Inclinations
;
it
being
the
most
proper
for
Souldiers
,
Hunters
,
Moss-Troopers
,
and
all
such
as
would
have
the
Beastial
,
Savage
Nature
strengthen'd
and
encreased
;
and
have
a
mind
to
be
Lyons
and
Devils
,
not
only
to
their
own
Kind
,
but
to
all
other
Creatures
?
And
now
I
shall
proceed
to
give
a
few
Instances
out
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
about
eating
of
Flesh
,
&c.

any
of

that
believe
not

bid
you
to
a

,
and
ye
be

to
go

Now
the
Spirit
speaketh
expresly
,
That
in
the
latter
times
some
shall
depart
from
the
Faith
,
giving
heed
to
seducing
Spirits
,
and
Doctrines
of
Devils
,
speaking
Lyes
in
hypocrisy
;
having
their
Consciences
seared
as
with
an
hot
Iron
;
forbidding
to
Marry
,
and
Commanding
to
abstain
from
meats
,
which
God
hath
Created
to
be
received
with
Thanksgiving
of
them
which
believe
and
know
the
Truth
:
for
every
Creature
of
God
is
good
,
and
nothing
to
be
refused
,
if
it
be
received
with
Thanksgiving
,
for
it
's
sanctified
by
the
Word
of
God
and
Prayer
.
And
now
I
shall
collect
some
of
T.
T's
Doctrine
,
that
the
Reader
may
see
,
read
,
hear
,
try
,
Judge
of
both
,
and
which
is
most
according
to
Truth
:
Also
whether
his
Doctrine
or
Dictates
be
according
to
what
the
Holy
Scripture
or
right
Reason
enjoyns
.
T.
Tryons
Doctrine
.
Do
not
eat
the
Flesh
of
Beasts
;
it
's
neither
necessary
nor
expedient
,
Flesh
and
Fish
cannot
be
eaten
without
violence
,
and
doing
that
which
a
man
would
not
be
done
unto
;
and
violence
is
a
Fruit
of
Hell
,
and
its
original
Spring
is
from
the
dark
Fountain
of
Wrath
and
Eternal
Woe
,
and
from
the
eating
of
Flesh
,
&c.
Many
Evils
and
Mischiefs
proceed
,
it
Excites
the
fierce
wrathful
Principle
,
and
renders
man
prompt
and
ready
for
any
Acts
of
Cruelty
or
oppression
:
And
the
greatest
virtue
of
mens
eating
much
Flesh
,
and
Fish
,
is
,
that
it
makes
them
Surly
,
Robustick
,
Sordid
,
and
of
cruel
inhumane
Dispositions
and
Inclinations
;
it
being
the
most
proper
for
Souldiers
,
Hunters
,
Moss-Troopers
,
and
all
such
as
would
have
the
beastial
savage
nature
strengthened
and
encreased
,
and
have
a
mind
to
be
Lyons
and
Devils
;
not
only
to
their
own
kind
,
but
all
other
Creatures
.
p.
339.
Had
man
kept
his
High
and
Illustrious
state
,
he
would
have
been
far
from
eating
the
Creatures
Flesh
,
nor
have
made
his
Body
,
which
ought
to
have
been
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Spirit
,
a
stinking
Sepulcher
or
common
Burial-place
for
the
dead
Bodies
of
Beasts
,
and
so
avoid
the
Incorporating
of
the
Beasts
Savage
and
Sensual
Properties
,
and
depraving
the
noble
faculties
of
the
Soul
,
&c.
With
more
that
might
be
collected
.
But
take
this
in
brief
,
and
observe
the
Difference
betwixt
his
Doctrine
and
the
Scriptures
.
A
few
Comparisons
of
the
Scripture
and
Tryons
Doctrine
,
and
a
short
Animadversion
thereon
.
☞
God
saith
,
Every
moving
thing
shall
be
Meat
for
you
,
&c.
|
☞
Tryon
saith
,
Do
not
eat
the
Flesh
of
Beasts
,
Flesh
and
Fish
cannot
be
eaten
without
violence
,
&c.
Many
evils
attends
the
eating
of
Flesh
,
&c.
So
T.
T.
contradicts
God
.
|
☞
Christ
saith
,
Whatsoever
thing
from
without
entereth
into
the
Man
,
it
cannot
defile
him
,
and
the
Reason
he
gives
,
is
,
because
it
entereth
not
into
his
Heart
.
|
☞
Tryon
saith
,
Eating
of
much
Flesh
and
Fish
makes
surly
,
or
sordid
,
and
is
most
proper
for
them
that
have
a
mind
to
be
Lyons
or
Devils
;
and
if
their
eating
makes
them
such
,
sure
it
defiles
,
and
so
he
contradicts
Christ
.
|
☞
Paul
saith
,
Whatsoever
is
sold
in
the
Shambles
eat
,
&c.
|
☞
Tryon
saith
,
Do
not
eat
Flesh
;
or
what
's
sold
in
the
Shambles
,
in
effect
,
and
so
contradicts
Paul
as
well
as
God
and
Christ
.
|
ANIMADVERSION
.
Now
observe
,
God
hath
said
,
Every
moving
thing
shall
be
Meat
for
you
.
And
Christ
saith
,
Whatsoever
goeth
into
a
man
defiles
him
not
,
&c.
And
Paul
saith
,
Whatsoever
is
sold
in
the
Shambles
,
eat
,
&c.
And
Tryon
forbids
the
eating
Flesh
,
and
saith
,
that
Fish
and
Flesh
cannot
be
eaten
without
violence
;
and
in
effect
saith
,
it
defiles
the
Body
,
and
depraves
the
faculties
of
the
Soul
;
and
that
many
Evils
proceed
from
thence
.
But
I
shall
rather
believe
God
and
the
Scriptures
,
and
follow
Christs
Example
and
his
Apostles
,
than
believe
T.
T.
or
follow
his
example
,
contrary
to
Gods
saying
,
Angels
,
Christ
and
his
Apostles
Example
.
But
the
Spirit
speaketh
expresly
that
in
the
latter
times
some
shall
depart
from
the
Faith
,
giving
heed
to
seducing
Spirits
,
&c.
From
whence
I
Query
:
1.
Whether
Tho
.
Tryon
,
(
if
he
ever
knew
or
was
in
the
true
Faith
,
which
stands
in
Jesus
the
Author
of
Eternal
Salvation
to
all
them
that
believe
)
is
not
departed
from
the
Faith
,
and
is
led
by
a
seducing
Spirit
,
thus
to
write
?
2.
Whether
he
,
and
all
they
have
not
given
heed
to
seducing
Spirits
and
Doctrines
of
Devils
,
speaking
lyes
,
&c.
that
forbid
the
eating
of
Meat
,
which
God
hath
created
to
be
received
with
thanksgiving
?
And
now
Observe
,
1.
Meat
,
or
every
Creature
of
God
is
to
be
received
;
that
's
positive
;
but
how
?
Why
,
with
thanksgiving
:
of
whom
?
Ans.
Of
them
that
believe
and
know
the
Truth
,
(
and
the
eating
of
it
cannot
defile
the
man
,
saith
Christ
:
)
Wherefore
?
Answ
.
Its
sanctified
,
&c.
So
that
it
's
clear
by
the
afore
recited
Scriptures
and
right
Reason
,
that
every
Creature
of
God
is
good
,
and
nothing
to
be
refused
;
If
,
mind
the
condition
,
if
it
be
received
with
thanksgiving
:
So
that
this
makes
void
that
notion
or
conceit
that
T.
T.
seems
to
have
,
That
the
Creatures
were
made
for
mans
Admiration
,
and
in
no
wise
to
be
killed
:
when
in
p.
63.
of
his
Way
to
make
all
Rich
,
&c.
he
saith
,
Remember
,
O
Vain
man
,
that
the
All-wise
Creator
formed
all
those
Myriads
of
Creatures
for
his
Glory
and
thy
Admiration
,
and
not
that
thou
shouldest
therewith
pamper
thy
Lust
.
To
which
I
say
,
Thô
a
man
is
not
to
spend
any
Green
Herb
,
the
Fruit
of
any
Tree
,
or
any
Beast
of
the
Earth
,
Fowl
of
the
Air
,
or
Fish
of
the
Sea
in
excess
,
and
to
pamper
his
ungodly
Lusts
;
yet
I
Query
,
Whether
he
may
not
receive
or
eat
any
of
them
in
temperance
,
moderation
and
the
fear
of
God
,
and
with
thanksgiving
?
And
also
,
whether
mans
so
eating
and
drinking
,
is
not
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
according
to
the
Apostles
Exhortation
,
1
Cor
.
10.
31
?
Seeing
also
Christ
saith
,
Mat
.
15.
11.
Not
that
which
goeth
into
the
mouth
defileth
,
but
that
which
goeth
out
of
the
mouth
,
this
defileth
a
man
:
and
Mark
7.
18.
Jesus
saith
unto
them
,
(
that
is
,
his
Disciples
)
Are
ye
yet
without
understanding
also
?
Do
ye
not
perceive
,
that
whatsoever
thing
from
without
entreth
into
the
man
,
it
cannot
defile
him
,
because
it
entreth
not
into
his
heart
,
but
into
the
belly
;
and
goeth
out
into
the
Draught
,
purging
all
meats
?
And
he
saith
,
That
which
cometh
out
of
a
man
defileth
a
man
:
See
also
Mat
.

,

,

verses
;
also
Mark
7.
21
,
22
,
23.
For
out
of
the
heart
proceed
evil
thoughts
,
Murthers
,
Adulteries
,
Fornications
,
Theft
,
False-witness
,
Blasphemies
;
these
are
the
things
that
defile
a
man
;
but
to
eat
with
unwashen
hands
defileth
not
a
man
:
Nor
that
Meat
which
entreth
into
him
,
being
received
as
before
.
Now
having
Collected
some
Sayings
of
God
,
Christ
,
the
Holy
Spirit
,
and
Scriptures
,
concerning
the
Eating
of
Flesh
and
Fish
;
shewing
how
that
both
Christ
Jesus
,
Angels
of
God
,
and
the
Holy
Apostles
,
eat
Flesh
:
Now
I
desire
my
foregoing
Queries
may
he
answered
(
if
at
all
)
in
the
words
of
Scripture
,
or
such
the
Holy
Ghost
teacheth
;
as
I
desire
also
these
following
Queries
may
:
Which
is
,
First
,
Whether
any
that
truly
believe
in
God
,
and
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
holy
Spirit
;
can
be
thereby
led
to
affirm
,
that
the
Eating
Meat
,
Fish
or
Flesh
,
in
moderation
,
in
the
fear
of
God
,
and
with
Thanksgiving
,
is
sinful
and
unlawful
in
any
Case
whatsoever
?
Secondly
,
Whether
all
them
that
Command
,
Teach
or
forbid
to
abstain
from
all
Flesh
or
Meat
,
as
being
so
principled
,
and
judge
the
eating
thereof
in
any
wise
evil
,
sinful
,
unlawful
,
and
contrary
to
a
pure
Conscience
;
do
not
thereby
bespeak
their
own
Consciences
to
be
seared
therein
,
and
departed
from
the
Truth
,
and
manifest
their
ignorance
of
God
,
Christ
,
the
Holy
Spirit
and
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
in
a
very
large
manner
?
And
now
T.
T.
further
saith
,
p.
350.
There
is
no
Creature
in
the
world
,
that
has
any
desire
to
eat
flesh
,
&c.
except
those
in
whom
the
fierce
,
wrathful
,
Savage
Native
does
predominate
.
Now
Observe
:
He
either
saith
true
or
false
,
if
true
,
he
hath
brought
a
Judgment
over
all
them
living
,
that
desire
to
eat
Flesh
,
(
though
it
be
in
temperance
,
moderation
and
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
with
Thanksgiving
)
As
being
such
,
in
whom
,
as
his
Phrase
is
,
the
fierce
,
wrathful
,
Savage
Nature
predominates
;
and
in
the
said
page
he
said
,
So
now
he
is
,
and
does
exceed
in
uncleanness
,
and
Cruelty
the
worst
of
Beasts
,
as
much
as
a
Sparrow-hawk
exceeds
a
Titmouse
;
and
what
he
saith
are
fruits
of
such
in
whom
the
Hellish
Principle
sway
,
see
403.
To
wit
,
Backbiting
,
Hatred
,
&c.
and
working
all
sorts
of
Impiety
.
So
he
hath
at
once
Unchristianed
(
as
much
as
he
can
)
all
Christendom
,
and
every
sort
of
People
therein
,
how
pious
,
virtuous
and
temperate
soever
they
are
,
if
they
desire
to
eat
Flesh
,
(
though
in
moderation
,
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
with
Thanksgiving
,
for
he
makes
no
exception
)
they
cease
to
be
Christians
,
and
come
under
the
Government
of
the
wrathful
Nature
,
or
Hellish
Principle
.
O
Monstrum
Horrendum
!
And
in
p.
368.
he
saith
,
Flesh
cannot
be
procured
,
without
oppressing
the
way
of
God
in
Nature
,
and
causing
the
Creatures
to
sigh
and
groan
,
and
cry
to
be
delivered
into
the
Glorious
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
;
and
this
keeps
the
fierce
wrath
in
motion
,
and
causeth
it
to
break
forth
upon
them
in
many
and
great
Calamities
.
But
pray
where
doth
the
Scripture
so
say
?
or
that
Lambs
,
Sheep
,
Calves
,
Oxen
,
cry
to
be
delivered
into
the
Glorious
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
?
and
what
are
the
Calamities
that
are
brought
on
man
,
only
for
killing
for
necessary
Food
,
&
c
.
?
So
much
for
eating
of
Flesh
.
Now
hear
what
he
saith
about
Killing
,
in
page
402.
of
the
said
Book
,
Intituled
,
The
way
to
Health
,
&c.
Touching
all
sighting
,
oppressing
and
killing
,
let
it
be
little
or
much
,
and
the
pretence
what
it
will
,
[
Mark
,
what
it
will
though
for
food
&c.
]
We
affirm
from
a
true
light
and
ground
,
that
the
same
do
arise
and
proceed
from
the
fierce
wrath
of
God
,
and
from
the
Devilish
Hellish
Nature
in
man
;
which
is
contrary
to
the
Friendly
Love
and
Light
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
as
the
Night
is
to
the
Day
.
Now
Observe
:
So
all
Butchers
,
Poulterers
,
Fisher-men
,
and
all
that
kill
,
&c.
let
the
pretence
be
what
it
will
,
or
the
Creature
what
it
will
〈◇〉
killed
;
for
there
's
no
exception
made
:
T.
T.
saith
,
We
affirm
as
●a●…
foresaid
.
But
pray
who
must
make
up
the
We
?
can
T.
T.
produce
any
other
of
that
mind
but
himself
;
from
a
True
light
,
&
c
?
But
what
is
that
he
calls
so
?
Doth
he
not
put
Light
for
Darkness
?
And
what
Scripture
proof
,
or
found
Reason
shall
we
have
,
that
killing
a
Lamb
,
&c.
is
contrary
to
the
Light
of
God
in
Christ
,
as
the
Night
is
to
the
Day
;
and
that
none
that
so
do
,
can
be
true
Christians
,
or
Sons
or
Daughters
of
God
,
or
led
by
his
Spirit
?
though
they
live
both
soberly
,
●…
ly
,
and
godly
,
in
(
as
I
in
Charity
believe
)
many
Butchers
and
Fisher-men
do
;
yet
if
they
kill
,
let
the
pretence
be
what
it
will
,
is
for
Food
,
&c.
their
so
doing
is
contrary
to
the
Love
and
Light
of
God
in
Christ
,
saith
T.
T.
And
then
sure
they
do
not
walk
in
the
Light
,
that
act
contrary
to
it
:
and
John
saith
,
The
Nature
of
〈…〉
one
saved
,
shall
walk
in
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
,
which
is
Christ
Jesus
:
So
the
consequence
of
his
Doctrine
is
,
No
Butchers
,
Fisher-men
,
or
Poulterers
,
such
that
any
kind
,
and
for
any
pretence
kill
,
can
be
saved
,
unless
they
leave
their
killing
Occupations
and
practice
therein
:
And
how
many
Maid
Servants
then
,
if
this
were
true
,
when
they
go
to
dress
Flounders
,
Grigs
,
which
are
often
alive
,
or
kill
Chickens
,
conduct
contrary
to
the
friendly
Love
and
Light
of
God
in
Christ
;
but
what
Scripture
proof
and
found
Reason
can
he
give
for
the
same
?
or
doth
he
think
his
Affirmation
,
or
confident
Say-so
,
ushered
in
with
a
We
,
as
he
often
doth
,
must
go
for
proof
?
And
seeing
he
saith
(
as
I
shewed
before
)
That
he
is
far
from
the
vanity
,
or
rather
wickedness
,
of
desiring
to
start
or
promote
any
new
Sect
or
Party
,
and
hath
no
ambition
to
impose
his
own
Dictates
on
any
,
further
than
holy
Scripture
and
right
Reason
enjoyns
:
Let
's
have
a
proof
to
shew
,
right
Reason
and
the
holy
Scriptures
enjoyns
people
not
to
kill
a
Lamb
,
or
a
Chicken
,
nor
to
eat
in
moderation
,
and
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
receive
them
with
Thanksgiving
:
and
let
T.
T.
prove
,
that
his
Affirmation
is
from
a
true
light
and
ground
,
and
demonstrate
the
light
and
ground
such
by
holy
Scripture
and
right
Reason
.
Again
observe
,
according
to
his
Doctrine
,
all
that
die
in
this
savage
,
bruitish
slate
,
in
which
he
concludes
them
that
desire
to
eat
Flesh
,
or
that
kill
little
or
much
,
and
the
pretence
what
it
will
,
(
if
for
food
,
&c.
)
shall
in
the
Resurrection
,
saith
he
p.
444.
Be
invested
with
a
new
body
,
attract
such
matter
out
of
all
things
,
as
their
Spirits
are
capable
of
,
and
have
a
Simile
with
,
and
so
appear
in
Forms
Hideous
,
Frightful
and
Loathsome
.
But
where
doth
the
Scripture
so
say
,
or
speak
of
being
Cloathed
with
Hellish
shapes
in
the
next
World
?
And
in
p.
445.
see
what
comparisons
he
makes
about
eating
Flesh
,
and
killing
the
Beast
,
tho'
for
Food
;
and
he
there
saith
,
In
a
word
,
there
is
nothing
that
is
pleasant
or
friendly
in
the
whole
Business
,
nor
any
one
Circumstance
that
is
grate-to
the
innocent
Principle
in
Man
.
So
the
Killing
the
Creatures
for
Food
,
and
eating
of
them
as
the
Scripture
directs
,
he
saith
,
is
ungratefull
to
the
innocent
Principle
,
or
Love
and
Light
of
God
in
Christ
,
(
as
his
Phrase
is
)
as
the
Night
is
to
the
Day
.
Now
seeing
according
to
T.
T's
Doctrine
,
no
Creature
can
be
Killed
,
but
by
them
in
whom
the
wrathful
Nature
is
predominate
,
&c.
and
that
Killing
is
a
Fruit
of
Hell
;
and
such
that
live
and
dye
in
the
savage
bruitish
State
,
are
like
to
be
cloathed
with
hellish
shapes
in
the
Resurrection
,
or
next
World
:
And
seeing
he
in
the
Cow's
and
Oxen's
Complaint
,
makes
them
say
to
cruel
and
hard-hearted
Man
,
(
as
he
phrases
it
)
who
he
makes
the
Beasts
call
,
a
Destroyer
,
a
Killer
,
a
daily
Practicer
of
Cruelty
,
&c.
in
p.
496.
And
in
p.
501.
he
maketh
them
say
of
Man
,
How
they
are
beat
without
Pity
or
Humanity
;
and
at
last
,
when
we
are
able
to
do
their
Drudgery
no
longer
,
they
being
not
yet
satisfyed
with
our
Labours
,
will
fatten
us
up
for
the
Slaughter
,
and
feast
themselves
with
our
Carkasses
,
and
accommodate
themselves
with
our
Skins
for
Leather
,
to
make
them
Shoes
,
Boots
,
and
other
Necessaries
.
Now
I
Query
,
Whether
T.
T.
doth
not
so
accommodate
himself
,
and
wear
Shoes
and
Boots
made
of
their
Skins
?
and
whether
he
hath
not
several
Necessaries
made
thereof
,
and
of
the
Skins
of
other
Creatures
?
And
whether
he
doth
not
wear
the
Skins
of
the
innocent
Sheep
and
Lambs
,
or
of
Calves
,
over
his
Skin
,
to
keep
his
hands
warm
in
Winter
,
and
from
the
scorching
heat
in
Summer
,
and
his
feet
from
the
wet
Dirt
,
and
hard
Stones
?
And
whether
he
doth
not
Trade
,
Merchandize
,
or
deal
in
the
Skins
of
Beasts
,
and
get
Gain
and
Money
by
the
same
,
tho'
slain
by
the
wrathful
Nature
,
(
as
he
saith
,
)
which
is
a
Fruit
of
Hell
?
And
whether
his
so
doing
,
as
aforesaid
,
is
from
the
friendly
Principle
of
Love
?
Or
whether
he
is
not
guilty
of
that
he
makes
the
Beasts
complain
of
?
And
whether
the
Beasts
will
not
send
up
their
Complaints
against
him
in
a
silent
Eloquence
to
Heaven
?
From
whence
can
he
expect
any
Return
,
but
Showers
of
Judgments
upon
his
Head
,
(
as
he
makes
the
Beast
say
in
p.
503.
)
for
his
wearing
their
Skins
,
&c.
And
what
shape
must
he
have
in
the
other
World
for
so
accommodating
himself
,
and
trading
in
their
Skins
?
But
to
draw
to
a
Conclusion
,
and
to
pass
by
many
things
that
I
have
forborn
speaking
to
,
I
shall
now
take
Notice
of
one
Passage
more
in
his
Way
to
Health
,
&c.
(
as
he
calls
it
,
)
p.
669
,
or
last
Page
,
it
being
,
he
saith
,
the
scope
of
his
whole
Treatise
:
Viz
.
It
is
highly
necessary
for
every
one
to
study
the
Knowledge
of
himself
,
that
he
may
understand
the
differences
of
Spirits
,
and
from
what
Fountain
or
Property
every
Thought
,
Word
and
Work
does
proceed
;
and
to
recommend
and
promote
such
self-study
and
Heart-knowledge
,
is
the
scope
of
this
whole
Treatise
.
Now
how
far
T.
T.
hath
answered
that
which
he
saith
is
the
whole
scope
of
his
Treatise
,
I
shall
leave
to
those
who
by
reason
of
use
,
have
their
Senses
exercised
to
discern
both
good
and
evil
:
Only
I
desire
all
may
truly
and
duly
weigh
,
and
seriously
consider
of
his
Doctrine
,
(
which
I
have
in
some
measure
collected
,
and
made
some
few
Queries
on
;
)
that
so
none
may
any
further
receive
his
Doctrine
,
than
it
answers
unto
the
Truth
,
that
's
one
in
all
,
and
the
holy
Spirit
of
God
,
(
a
measure
of
which
is
given
to
every
one
to
profit
with
)
and
is
agreeable
to
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
which
are
able
to
make
the
man
of
God
wise
unto
Salvation
,
through
Faith
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
were
written
by
holy
Men
of
God
,
as
they
were
moved
by
the
Holy
Ghost
;
which
Holy
Ghost
or
Spirit
,
God
in
these
Gospel-dayes
hath
poured
forth
according
to
his
Promise
,
Joel
2.
upon
all
Flesh
;
with
which
therefore
every
one
that
comes
to
have
their
minds
truly
exercised
towards
God
,
do
and
may
discern
from
what
Fountain
T.
T's
words
and
works
proceeds
,
and
see
the
Difference
of
the
true
Spirit
and
the
false
;
tho'
the
false
may
,
as
it
mostly
hath
,
many
fair
Pretences
,
and
Fig-leave
like
Coverings
,
such
that
will
soon
sail
,
and
prove
too
narrow
;
for
they
are
like
the
Covering
of
those
Rebellious
Children
that
took
Counsel
,
and
not
of
the
Lord
;
see
Isaiah
30.
1.
And
tho'
they
who
are
guided
by
this
false
Spirit
,
may
,
and
often
do
,
(
like
the
Doctors
by
their
bitter
Pills
,
gild
them
over
,
that
they
may
be
the
easilyer
taken
;
)
so
T.
T.
under
a
specious
pretence
of
Temperance
,
and
calling
her
the
Offspring
of
Heaven
,
and
twenty
plausible
Names
;
may
thereby
,
and
his
fair
Speeches
,
deceive
the
Hearts
of
the
simple
,
and
such
that
are
lyable
to
be
tossed
with
every
wind
of
Doctrine
:
But
those
that
have
received
the
true
Annointing
,
and
keep
thereto
,
need
not
go
to
T.
T.
to
learn
Piety
,
Temperance
,
Moderation
,
&c.
for
the
same
Anointing
which
they
have
received
,
is
able
to
teach
them
both
how
to
Eat
and
Drink
,
even
to
the
Glory
of
God
;
and
to
be
sober
,
temperate
,
tender
,
compassionate
,
and
merciful
even
to
the
Beasts
;
and
hath
so
taught
many
〈◇〉
before
his
Book
was
extant
:
In
a
word
,
it
teacheth
them
(
that
keep
to
it
)
all
things
,
as
the
Apostle
said
to
the
Believers
,
1
Joh
.
2.
27.
The
Anointing
which
ye
have
received
of
him
,
abideth
in
you
,
and
ye
need
not
that
any
man
teach
you
,
but
as
the
same
Anointing
teacheth
you
of
all
things
,
and
is
truth
,
and
is
no
Lie
;
and
even
as
it
hath
taught
you
,
ye
shall
abide
in
him
:
And
blessed
are
they
that
so
do
,
that
is
,
abide
in
him
,
even
as
he
hath
taught
them
:
and
those
will
never
follow
the
idle
Conceits
and
vain
Imaginations
of
T.
T.
who
manifests
himself
not
to
be
taught
by
the
Anointing
,
in
forbidding
the
Eating
of
Flesh
,
&c.
and
is
therein
out
of
the
Practice
and
Doctrine
of
Christ
and
his
Holy
Apostles
,
and
goes
contrary
to
the
Testimony
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
:
But
let
every
one
consider
this
,
especially
such
that
under
a
pretence
of
Conscience
,
and
being
led
thereto
by
the
Spirit
;
eat
no
Flesh
,
and
command
to
abstain
from
Meats
,
Whether
the
Spirit
of
God
doth
lead
into
that
which
is
wholly
inconsistent
with
,
and
contrary
to
the
holy
Scriptures
of
Truth
;
and
what
the
holy
Ancients
,
Christ
Jesus
,
and
his
Apostles
and
Followers
practised
:
T.
T.
saith
also
,
It
is
highly
necessary
for
every
one
to
study
the
Knowledge
of
himself
;
and
to
recommend
and
promote
such
self-study
and
Heart-Knowledge
,
is
the
scope
of
his
whole
Treatise
:
But
pray
what
Relation
to
the
Knowledge
of
a
man's
self
,
and
the
true
heart-saving
Knowledge
of
God
,
which
is
Eternal
Life
,
is
the
Discourses
of
Beasts
,
and
their
Diseases
;
and
what
Virtues
and
Vices
they
are
subject
to
;
and
of
Mangie
Diseases
,
the
Complexion
of
Oxen
,
and
other
Beasts
;
the
Excellency
of
Butter
,
Cheese
,
and
Milk-Pottage
,
and
the
proper
and
most
natural
way
of
boyling
,
roasting
,
baking
,
stewing
,
frying
and
broiling
that
,
which
(
if
T.
T.
saith
true
)
he
that
rightly
knows
himself
,
and
is
under
the
friendly
Principle
of
Love
and
Light
,
cannot
desire
to
eat
,
to
wit
,
Flesh
;
and
when
they
may
eat
it
with
least
danger
;
(
whenas
they
could
not
eat
it
at
all
,
saith
he
,
if
the
fierce
wrathful
Nature
did
not
predominate
)
?
Again
,
he
tells
of
Cloathing
Horses
,
and
Beds
;
of
Plumb-Cakes
,
Bread-Puddings
,
and
Mince-Pyes
;
of
Women
,
their
Nature
,
Complexions
,
and
Intemperances
;
the
Astrological
gathering
of
Herbs
,
the
Deceitfulness
of
Doctors
,
their
Bills
:
Of
Bugs
;
and
from
what
Matter
or
Aliment
they
do
proc●ed
;
how
to
kill
them
:
Of
Pain
in
the
Teeth
,
and
how
to
cure
Wounds
:
These
,
I
believe
,
and
forty
such
like
stories
,
is
the
Scope
of
his
Book
;
and
yet
he
saith
,
the
Scope
of
his
whole
Book
,
or
Treatise
,
is
to
promote
self
and
Heart-knowledge
:
But
whether
it
be
any
more
than
his
empty
Say
so
,
I
shall
leave
the
truely
wise
to
judge
,
that
have
or
may
see
or
read
his
Book
.
Also
,
if
it
is
not
rather
his
Scope
,
or
Tendency
of
his
Book
,
to
beget
unstable
People
into
Whimsies
and
Conceits
,
and
to
draw
their
Minds
and
Hearts
by
his
windy
empty
Doctrine
and
Popperies
,
from
that
Inspiration
of
the
Almighty
that
will
give
them
Understanding
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
themselves
,
and
of
God
,
and
Christ
;
the
most
excellentest
Knowledge
,
the
most
pure
,
sound
and
solid
Knowledge
,
that
which
doth
not
puff
up
,
nor
make
any
,
like
Fools
,
wise
in
their
own
Conceits
:
They
that
have
this
Knowledge
,
and
are
endued
therewith
,
they
will
Forsake
the
foolish
,
and
live
,
and
go
in
the
way
of
Understanding
;
as
saith
Solomon
,
Prov.
9.
6.
which
is
the
way
Wisdom
leads
in
,
who
saith
,
I
lead
in
the
way
of
Righteousness
,
and
in
the
midst
of
the
Paths
of
Judgment
:
And
they
that
follow
her
here
,
and
judge
down
all
idle
and
vain
Imaginations
with
the
Spirit
of
Wisdom
,
and
love
her
,
them
she
will
cause
to
inherit
Substance
,
and
will
fill
their
Treasures
.
And
this
is
the
Wisdom
which
is
profitable
to
direct
,
and
is
justified
of
her
Children
:
And
tho'
Death
,
and
they
that
are
therein
may
speak
of
the
Fame
thereof
,
yet
they
are
ignorant
of
her
;
for
it
's
the
Righteous
the
Lord
layeth
up
sound
Wisdom
for
,
and
he
is
a
Buckler
to
them
that
walk
uprightly
:
He
keepeth
the
paths
of
Judgment
,
and
preserveth
the
way
of
his
Saints
:
and
tho'
the
Simple
inherit
Folly
,
yet
the
Prudent
are
Crowned
with
Knowledge
,
which
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
is
the
Beginning
of
:
Therefore
blessed
are
they
that
are
come
thereto
,
and
that
live
therein
:
The
Scriptures
abound
with
the
Promise
of
Blessings
on
such
;
and
,
that
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
him
will
the
Lord
lead
in
the
way
that
he
shall
choose
:
And
,
his
Soul
shall
be
at
ease
,
and
his
Seed
shall
inherit
the
Earth
:
And
these
will
resrain
their
feet
from
every
evil
way
,
that
they
may
keep
Gods
Word
,
and
will
not
be
led
away
into
vain
Conceits
,
and
whimsical
Imaginations
,
like
them
that
know
not
God
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Holy
Spirit
,
nor
Scriptures
of
Truth
;
but
are
like
them
Christ
spoke
to
,
saying
,
Ye
Err
,
not
knowing
the
Scriptures
,
nor
the
power
of
God

What
's
then
the
Cause
?
and
what
's
the
Reason
why
,
Eating
of
Flesh
he
doth
so
much
decry
?
The
Reason's
plain
,
the
matter
lieth
here
,
Because
he
wants
an
understanding
clear
;
Which

he
may
obtain

God
I
pray

And
now
I
query
of
T.
T.
about
the
Verses
printed
and
prefixed
before
his
Book
,
intituled
,
The
way
to
make
all
people
Rich
,
&c.
made
,
as
it
's
said
,
on
the
Author
of
that
Excellent
and
Learned
Book
,
Entituled
,
The
Way
to
Health
,
long
Life
and
Happiness
.
1.
It
's
said
thus
;
—
E're
that
Ingratitude
in
Man
was
found
,
His
Mother
Earth
with
Iron
Plows
to
wound
.
Now
I
Query
,
Whether
T.
T.
accounts
it
Ingratitude
in
Man
,
and
a-wounding
of
the
Earth
,
to
Plow
,
Dress
or
Till
the
Earth
;
seeing
God
both
before
and
after
the
Fall
,
gave
Man
Direction
so
to
do
,
and
put
him
into
the
Garden
for
that
end
?
See
Gen.
2.
15.
and
3.
23.
2.
Is
the
Way
to
make
all
People
Rich
,
to
leave
off
Plowing
,
&
c
?
3.
If
the
Earth
is
not
plowed
,
or
wounded
,
(
as
the
Phrase
is
)
how
shall
we
have
Corn
to
make
Bread
,
or
Water-Gruel
?
Again
it
's
said
;
—
When
unconfin'd
,
the
spacious
Plains
produc'd
What
Nature
crav'd
,
and
more
than
Nature
us'd
.
Query
.
Did
the
Plains
,
without
Plowing
or
Tilling
,
produce
what
Nature
craved
,
and
more
than
Nature
used
;
as
Bread-Corn
,
Oats
,
&
c
?
Again
;
—
What
are
the
Plagues
that
o're
this
Nation
reign
,
That
has
so
many
threescore
thousands
slain
?
Is
it
the
eating
Flesh
and
Fish
in
Moderation
,
and
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
with
Thanksgiving
,
and
the
killing
them
for
that
end
?
are
these
the
Plagues
that
reign
over
this
Island
,
that
have
slain
so
many
threescore
thousands
.
Again
,
—
Till
That
's
Th.
Tryon
.
You
,
the
saving
Angel
whose
blest
Hand
Has
sheath'd
the
Sword
that
threaten'd
half
the
Land
.
Query
.
Is
T.
Trion
this
saving
Angel
?
And
will
he
own
that
his
Hand
is
blest
,
and
hath
sheathed
the
Sword
that
threatened
half
the
Land
?
If
not
,
why
did
he
suffer
these
things
to
be
printed
of
him
?
Again
the
Verses
go
on
,
praising
him
thus
:
More
than
a
Parent
,
Sir
,
we
you
must
own
;
They
give
long
Life
,
but
you
prolong
it
on
.
Query
1.
What!
will
T.
T.
own
he
is
more
than
a
Parent
?
And
who
are
the
We
that
must
so
own
him
?
2.
Doth
T.
T.
prolong
Life
on
?
Again
;
—
That
is
Tho
.
Trion
.
You
an
Innocent
Power
with
Heaven
do
shew
,
Give
us
long
Life
,
and
lasting
Vertue
too
.
Query
1.
What
is
the
innocent
Power
T.
T.
shews
with
Heaven
?
And
who
must
say
,
Give
us
long
Life
,
and
lasting
Vertue
too
?
And
to
whom
must
they
so
say
?
to
T.
T
?
Again
;
—
Such
were
the
Mighty
Patriarchs
of
old
,
Who
God
in
all
his
Glory
did
behold
.
Query
.
Is
T.
T.
such
as
the
Mighty
Patrlarchs
were
,
who
beheld
God
in
all
his
Glory
?
And
hath
T.
T.
so
beheld
him
?
Again
;
—
Inspir'd
like
Trion
.
You
,
they
Heaven's
Instructions
show'd
,
And
were
as
Gods
amidst
the
wondering
Crowd
.
Query
.
Is
T.
T.
Inspired
like
the
Mighty
Patriarchs
of
old
?
And
hath
he
shewed
Heaven's
Instructions
like
them
?
And
is
he
as
a
God
Among
the
wondering
Crowd
?
Again
;
—
Not
he
that
bore
th'
Almighty
Wand
could
give
Diviner
Dictates
how
to
Eat
and
Live
.
Query
1.
Who
was
this
that
bore
the
Almighty
Wand
,
and
that
could
not
give
Diviner
Dictates
than
T.
T.
how
to
Eat
and
Live
?
2.
Can
T.
T.
admit
of
such
matters
to
be
printed
in
his
praise
?
It
seems
he
hath

Postscript

THere
is
another
Book
by
the
same
Author
,
or
Thomas
Trion
,
Entituled
,
The
Country-man's
Companion
,
&c.
Subscribed
,
Philotheos
Physiologus
;
and
said
to
be
printed
and
sold
by
Andrew
So●…
le
,
&c.
which
,
I
conceive
,
hath
been
a
great
means
to
promote
the
Sale
of
his
Books
;
as
a
good
Name
many
times
helps
off
with
that
which
is
not
really
good
;
and
a
smart
or
smooth
Title
sometimes
makes
a
Book
sell
,
when
the
Matter
or
Subject
is
scarce
worth
reading
:
And
I
have
good
ground
in
Charity
to
think
,
that
had
A.
S
:
seen
,
and
been
truly
sensible
of
T.
Trion's
Errours
and
Absurdities
,
and
ill
tendency
of
his
Books
,
he
would
not
have
printed
and
exposed
them
as
he
did
:
As
also
of
his
Reflections
upon
the
Christians
in
his
feigned
or
fictious
Complaint
of
the
Birds
to
their
Creator
;
particularly
against
the
People
called
Christians
,
lately
settled
in
several
Provinces
in
America
;
who
he
charges
with
bringing
Engins
of
War
,
Cruelty
and
Blood-shed
;
as
Guns
,
Swords
,
Powder
,
&c.
And
in
p.
143.
and
144.
of
the
abovesaid
Book
,
where
he
makes
them
say
,
or
rather
feigns
their
saying
,
—
Thus
:
[
We
are
more
especially
astonisht
,
to
meet
with
these
Usages
from
those
that
call
themselves
Christians
;
who
of
late
years
have
found
out
,
and
settled
themselves
in
the
Regions
and
Countries
of
America
,
where
before
their
Arrival
we
lived
in
a
very
great
degree
of
Freedom
and
Security
:
But
now
by
this
new
Neighbourhood
of
those
from
whose
Profession
we
might
promise
our selves
nothing
but
Love
and
good
Will
,
our
Condition
is
much
alter'd
for
the
worse
;
our
Danger
and
Destruction
is
daily
encreased
,
and
to
kill
and
murder
us
is
become
an
Occupation
and
a
Trade
;
for
which
purpose
these
Peaceable
Christians
,
as
they
would
be
counted
,
have
brought
with
them
all
kinds
of
Snares
,
and
Engines
of
War
and
Violence
,
which
never
had
before
been
seen
,
nor
their
frightful
hellish
noises
heard
in
our
Coasts
.
Now
how
absurd
is
it
for
those
who
fly
from
Violence
in
one
place
,
to
begin
it
themselves
on
the
innocent
in
those
places
where
they
take
shelter
?
How
much
below
the
Dignity
of
a
Man
are
those
Cruel
and
insidious
Practices
?
How
forreign
from
,
and
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
of
that
Christianity
which
you
profess
?
where
it
's
expresly
declared
,
that
Whosoever
useth
the
Sword
,
shall
perish
by
it
:
That
is
to
say
,
He
that
by
any
kind
of
Violence
doth
awaken
the
Center
of
Wrath
in
himself
,
shall
be
precipitated
into
it
.
And
therefore
your
most
holy
Prophet
,
the
first-born
of
the
Sons
of
God
,
&c.
saith
,
My
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
for
then
would
my
Servants
sight
:
That
is
,
My
Kingdom
,
and
that
State
whereunto
I
bring
my
Disciples
,
does
not
consist
in
Wrath
,
Violence
or
Oppression
,
&c.
Thus
far
T.
T.
or
Philotheos
Physiologus
.
Now
pray
let
me
Query
,
Whether
he
doth
not
reflect
upon
the
peaceable
Christians
therein
?
1.
In
saying
,
Those
that
call
themselves
Christians
.
2.
Whether
he
doth
not
thereby
suggest
they
are
not
Christians
in
Truth
and
Reality
?
3.
In
saying
,
Those
from
whose
Profession
we
might
promise
our
selves
nothing
but
Love
and
good
Will
;
whether
he
doth
not
thereby
render
them
void
of
both
to
their
new
Neighbour-hood
(
as
his
Phrase
is
)
?
4.
Doth
he
not
render
them
Destroyers
and
Murtherers
;
and
such
that
make
an
Occupation
thereof
?
For
which
purpose
,
saith
he
,
these
peaceable
Christians
,
as
they
would
be
counted
;
[
mark
,
]
as
they
would
be
counted
.
5.
Doth
he
not
hereby
,
as
before
,
plainly
demonstrate
,
that
he
doth
not
so
account
them
;
or
that
they
are
not
such
as
accounted
?
For
indeed
,
according
to
his
Principle
and
Doctrine
,
they
are
Murderers
;
and
the
Scripture
saith
,
No
Murderer
hath
Eternal
Life
abiding
in
him
:
Neither
can
enter
into
God's
Kingdom
as
such
;
neither
indeed
can
be
a
Christian
while
so
.
6.
According
to
his
Account
they
commit
Violence
,
which
is
a
Fruit
of
Hell
,
saith
he
:
They
kill
also
;
and
that
he
affirms
proceeds
from
the
fierce
Wrath
of
God
,
&c.
and
is
contrary
to
the
Love
and
Light
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
as
the
Night
is
to
the
Day
,
(
tho'
but
a
Fish
or
Bird
;
&c.
)
and
therefore
it
will
follow
,
such
that
act
so
contrary
to
the
Love
and
Light
of
God
in
Christ
,
can't
be
Christians
while
they
so
do
.
And
,
7.
He
goeth
on
in
his
Complaint
,
saying
,
They
(
that
is
,
these
peaceable
Christians
,
as
they
would
be
counted
)
have
brought
with
them
all
kind
of
Snares
and
Engines
of
War
and
Violence
,
&c.
That
is
,
to
catch
and
kill
Birds
,
&c.
for
necessary
Food
.
Note
,
and
then
he
saith
,
How
absurd
is
it
for
those
that
fly
from
Violence
in
one
place
?
[
mark
,
]
he
here
renders
them
as
such
that
fly
from
Violence
.
8.
He
charges
them
with
Beginning
it
on
the
Innocent
in
those
places
where
they
take
shelter
.
How
much
below
the
Dignity
of
a
Man
are
those
cruel
and
insidious
Practices
!
saith
he
;
how
forreign
from
,
and
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
of
that
Christianity
which
you
profess
!
where
it
is
expresly
declared
,
That
whoever
useth
the
Sword
shall
perish
with
it
.
Now
Reader
,
observe
,
how
well
,
truly
and
excellently
,
or
rather
,
illy
,
untruly
and
ignorantly
T.
Trion
hath
applyed
,
or
grosly
misapplyed
the
Text
:
For
Gen.
9.
6.
it
's
said
,
Whoso
sheddeth
Man's
Blood
,
by
Man
shall
his
blood
be
shed
;
for
in
the
Image
of
God
made
he
Man
:
And
,
Mat
.
26.
52.
Then
Jesus
said
unto
him
,
(
that
is
,
Peter
,
who
with
his
Sword
had
smote
off
the
High-Priest's
Servant's
Ear
,
)
put
up
again
thy
Sword
into
his
place
;
for
all
that
take
the
Sword
,
shall
perish
with
the
Sword
.
Now
mind
:
It
doth
not
say
,
he
that
kills
a
Fish
,
a
Bird
,
or
Beast
,
that
by
Man
his
Blood
shall
be
shed
;
neither
doth
the
Scripture
say
,
Fishes
,
Birds
and
Beasts
,
were
made
in
the
Image
of
God
;
which
seems
to
be
the
reason
of
that
Precept
:
And
again
,
All
that
take
the
Sword
shall
perish
with
it
;
that
is
,
take
it
to
destroy
,
kill
,
murder
Man
,
that
was
made
in
the
Image
of
God
;
these
shall
perish
with
it
:
But
doth
T.
T.
believe
,
that
if
a
Man
with
a
Sword
or
Gun
shall
kill
a
Bird
or
Deer
for
necessary
Food
,
that
he
ought
to
perish
by
or
with
the
Sword
for
so
doing
?
And
how
absurd
is
it
for
T.
T.
that
takes
upon
him
to
teach
so
many
things
,
and
to
be
so
knowing
,
thus
miserably
to
misapply
the
Text
,
and
wrest
the
Holy
Scriptures
.
But
some
such
there
were
formerly
that
erred
,
(
Mat
.
22.
29.
)
not
knowing
the
Scriptures
,
nor
the
power
of
God
,
and
wrested
the
holy
Scriptures
to
their
own
destruction
;
see
2
Pet
.
3.
16
,
17
,
18.
Of
whom
Peter
warns
the
Believers
,
saying
,
Ye
therefore
,
beloved
,
seeing
ye
know
these
things
before
,
beware
,
lest
ye
also
being
led
away
with
the
Errour
of
the
wicked
,
fall
from
your
own
stedfastness
:
And
grow
in
Grace
,
and
in
the
Knowledge
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
;
to
him
be
Glory
both
now
and
for
ever
.
Amen
.
And
had
T.
T.
made
it
more
his
business
to
have
answered
this
Exhortation
,
than
it
appears
by
his
Books
he
hath
,
and
kept
from
wresting
the
Scriptures
to
make
them
vindicate
his
Doctrine
,
Whimsies
,
Imaginations
and
Conceits
;
it
would
have
been
more
like
a
Christian
,
and
bespoke
him
to
be
one
that
had
regard
to
the
Testimony
thereof
,
and
good
Exhortations
therein
:
For
tho
Christ
forbad
doing
Violence
to
any
Man
,
can
T.
T.
prove
he
forbid
to
kill
Fish
,
Fowl
,
or
Beasts
?
or
did
account
his
Disciples
and
Apostles
Murderers
;
and
tell
them
that
they
should
perish
with
the
Sword
,
because
they
with
their
Nets
caught
the
Fish
,
and
also
ate
them
?
or
did
he
blame
them
for
it
,
or
for
their
so
using
of
the
Fishes
?
or
did
the
Fish
say
,
as
T.
T.
makes
the
Birds
say
;
They
were
astonisht
to
meet
with
such
usages
from
those
that
called
themselves
Christians
,
(
or
were
Disciples
of
him
who
said
,
Do
no
violence
?
)
or
did
they
complain
,
and
say
,
They
liv'd
in
a
great
deal
of
Freedom
and
Security
,
till
these
Disciples
,
from
whose
Profession
they
might
promise
themselves
nothing
but
Love
and
good
Will
,
came
with
their
Nets
to
catch
,
kill
and
murder
them
?
or
did
they
say
,
These
peaceable
Disciples
Occupation
,
&c.
was
to
kill
,
murder
,
and
do
violence
upon
them
?
or
did
they
say
as
T.
T.
makes
the
Birds
say
(
or
sayes
for
them
)
in
p.
146.
of
Country-man's
Companion
,
&c.
We
have
not
taken
away
their
Priviledges
,
nor
laid
Cities
and
Countries
waste
:
We
are
not
guilty
of
burning
of
Towns
,
nor
deflowring
of
Virgins
,
nor
ravishing
Matrons
,
nor
of
slaying
old
Men
,
nor
of
carrying
away
Captive
the
young
:
We
do
not
gather
our selves
into
Troops
to
destroy
those
of
our
kind
;
nor
have
we
at
any
time
plundred
them
,
or
haled
them
into
loathsom
Prisons
.
But
pray
by
the
way
,
let
me
Query
,
Whether
many
Fish
and
Fowl
don't
prey
one
upon
another
?
as
also
Beasts
?
And
,
Whether
the
All-wise
Creator
hath
not
given
them
Paws
,
Bills
,
&c.
with
an
Instinct
in
Nature
so
to
do
?
But
this
by
the
way
.
Now
I
Query
,
Whether
the
Fish
the
Disciples
caught
,
had
not
as
much
Cause
and
reason
to
complain
against
the
Disciples
,
as
the
Birds
have
against
the
Peaceable
Christians
in
Pensilvania
in
America
,
of
cruel
and
insidious
Practices
,
if
they
had
but
such
an
Advocate
as
T.
T.
or
such
a
Scribbler
to
scribble
over
a
Remonstrance
,
or
draw
up
a
Complaint
for
them
against
cruel
,
hard-hearted
Man
,
(
as
his
Phrase
is
)
whom
he
calls
a
Setter
,
a
Trepan
,
a
Snare
,
a
Plague
and
Torment
to
all
the
Inhabitants
of
the
four
Worlds
?
But
if
he
did
not
expect
to
get
Money
by
his
fictious
Stories
,
(
the
love
of
which
is
the
root
of
all
evil
)
I
am
perswaded
he
would
never
have
so
mispent
his
time
,
and
marred
Paper
,
and
troubled
the
Press
:
for
tho'
right
words
are
forcible
,
yet
what
does
his
arguing
prove
less
than
the
words
of
the
Preacher
true
on
himself
,
Eccles
.
10.
Chap.
11.
v.
12
,
13.
Surely
the
Serpent
will
bite
without
Enchantment
;
and
a
Babler
is
no
better
:
For
tho'
the
words
of
the
wise
man's
mouth
are
gracious
,
yet
the
lips
of
a
fool
will
swallow
up
himself
.
The
beginning
of
the
words
of
his
mouth
is
foolishness
,
and
the
end
of
his
talk
is
mischievous
madness
.
And
true
also
it
is
,
that
the
fool
is
full
of
words
;
and
had
not
T.
T.
been
so
,
(
or
his
head
full
of
sensless
matter
)
we
should
never
have
had
Book
after
Book
,
or
,
to
speak
in
the
Musicians
Phrase
,
the
first
,
second
,
third
and
fourth
part
to
the
same
tune
;
and
stories
of
the
Sheeps
language
,
and
Sheep's
,
Cow's
,
Oxen
,
Horses
and
Birds
Complaints
;
and
such
like
idle
Fictions
,
that
seem
rather
to
come
from
a
giddy
Head
,
than
a
Heart
truly
season'd
with
Grace
:
Yea
,
I
may
say
,
How
much
below
the
Dignity
of
a
man
is
such
fictious
Little-tattle
!
and
more
abundantly
below
a
Christian
,
and
remote
from
the
sound
and
solid
Doctrine
of
true
Christianity
,
to
make
the
Birds
say
,
(
because
a
Christian
Man
shoots
them
for
food
)
Why
dost
thou
with
this
Engine
of
War
murder
me
,
and
fight
with
me
?
Dost
not
know
that
thy
great
Prophet
Christ
hath
said
,
My
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
for
then
would
my
Servants
fight
?
—
Oh
idle
,
foolish
,
vain
and
ignorant
Man
!
as
if
the
shooting
of
Birds
was
fighting
,
and
contrary
to
the
Practice
of
Christ's
Servants
!
Away
with
these
idle
Conceits
:
What
Scripture
is
there
for
this
?
seeing
thou
say'st
thou
desir'st
not
to
impose
thy
Dictates
any
further
than
Scripture
and
right
Reason
enjoyns
:
Let
me
have
Scripture
for
it
,
or
right
Reason
.
I
also
observe
,
that
thou
many
times
flatteringly
say'st
to
them
,
Thou
so
heavily
complains
against
my
dear
Friends
,
and
my
Friends
,
&c.
and
saith
,
I
must
,
because
it
is
my
Duty
,
nominate
some
particulars
for
us
to
observe
,
p.
105.
—
Pray
what
Us
is
that
thou
art
one
of
?
Or
what
People
dost
thee
joyn
to
?
Or
what
Profession
of
Religion
art
thee
of
?
Or
what
Denomination
dost
thou
go
under
?
And
what
are
the
Particulars
the
Us
must
observe
?
Is
it
,
that
neither
Fish
,
Fowl
,
nor
Beast
,
should
be
either
kill'd
or
eaten
;
tho'
(
as
I
have
often
said
)
in
Moderation
,
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
received
with
Thanksgiving
?
Oh
strange
!
that
a
Man
pretending
to
be
so
knowing
,
should
plead
such
a
necessity
and
Duty
for
that
which
is
neither
required
by
the
Lord
,
nor
laid
as
an
absolute
Necessity
on
Man
,
neither
wholly
necessary
for
every
Man
to
follow
,
much
less
their
Christian
Duty
!
What
Doctrine
would
this
be
?
Well
,
to
take
notice
of
all
his
Errours
,
Absurdities
,
false
Doctrine
,
idle
Fictions
,
Contradictions
,
&c.
would
take
up
more
time
and
Paper
than
I
am
willing
to
spend
,
and
swell
my
Book
to
more
Sheets
than
there
is
now
Pages
.
I
therefore
pass
by
this
Book
;
and
shall
give
a
little
Sample
out
of
another
Book
of
his
,
to
shew
what
Stuff
it
's
made
on
,
or
to
relish
what
Root
or
Spirit
it
comes
from
.
It
's
called
(
or
miscalled
,
like
his
other
Books
,
)
The
Good
Housewife
made
Doctor
;
or
,
Health's
Choice
and
sure
Friend
,

he
saith
,
Mens
Coveting
Flesh
and
Blood
is
a
true
sign
and
testimony
of
their
miserable
Fall
,
and
that
they
live
under
the
power
of
the
dark
fierce
Wrath
.
Now
whether
this
is
not
a
true
sign
and
Testimony
of
his
false
Doctrine
,
and
miserable
fall
from
the
Divine
Knowledge
,
(
if
he
was
ever
acquainted
with
it
)
let
the
Reader
judge
?
And
whether
he
doth
not
live
under
the
Power
of
Darkness
,
that
hath
no
clearer
Understanding
?
and
whether
the
Prince
thereof
is
not
the
Author
of
this
his
most
dreadful
censorious
Assertion
;
i.e.
That
Mens
desiring
or
coveting
Flesh
(
without
exception
,
as
only
to
eat
in
Moderation
,
and
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
to
receive
it
with
thanksgiving
,
&c.
)
is
a
sign
and
Testimony
that
they
are
no
Christians
,
or
live
under
the
power
of
the
dark
Wrath
,
(
which
implys
as
much
,
)
and
so
not
under
the
Power
of
God
,
and
Government
of
the
holy
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
they
that
have
not
are
none
of
his
;
neither
are
they
God's
Sons
which
are
not
led
by
his
Spirit
:
—
And
will
T.
T.
say
,
they
are
led
by
God's
Spirit
in
whom
the
fierce
Wrath
predominates
,
or
that
desire
or
covet
to
eat
Flesh
as
aforesaid
?
Take
this
,
as
I
said
,
for
a
Sample
,
with
a
few
Instances
more
out
of
his
said
Book
,
which
are
to
shew
how
T.
T.
(
like
the
clamorous
Woman
)
pulls
down
his
House
with
his
own
hands
,
or
stabs
his
own
espoused
Cause
to
the
Heart
,
and
gives
the
overthrow
to
his
greatly
applauded
and
beloved
Doctrine
of
Eating
no
Flesh
,
because
of
the
many
Evils
and
Miseries
that
attend
it
,
&c.
saith
he
:
The
Instance
is
this
,
p.
192
of
his
Book
entituled
,
The
Good
Housewife
,
&c.
He
tells
what
brave
food
Reddock
,
Dandelion
,
Comefrey
is
,
and
the
like
,
(
which
grows
in
the
Fields
as
he
saith
)
boyled
as
he
prescribes
,
dressed
as
he
directs
,
butter'd
as
he
orders
,
and
salted
as
he
would
have
it
,
and
eaten
as
he
advises
.
But
how
is
that
,
some
may
say
?
He
gives
so
many
Prescriptions
,
Directions
and
Rules
,
it
's
needful
to
be
well
inform'd
how
it
must
be
eaten
;
and
especially
because
he
puts
this
Emphasis
upon
it
,
saying
,
it
's
A
brave
wholesome
Food
.
Well
,
I
now
will
give
his
Receipt
,
as
I
find
it
in
p.
193.
thus
:
Then
Eaten
with
Bread
,
or
Bread
and
Flesh
,
makes
a
Brave
wholesome
food
.
And
in
p.
186.
tells
of
Sallet
,
of
Spinnage
,
Parsley
,
Sorrel
,
Lettice
,
and
a
few
Onions
,
and
Vinegar
,
and
Salt
,
&c.
with
such
a
Sallet
,
saith
he
,
you
may
eat
Flesh
.
And
now
if
he
have
not
writ
to
the
purpose
,
let
the
Reader
judge
;
for
that
which
in
all
his
four
Books
he
hath
preached
against
the
Killing
and
Eating
of
,
to
wit
,
Flesh
;
and
told
how
many
Evils
and
Miseries
attend
the
Eating
of
it
,
which
he
also
saith
,
can't
be
eaten
without
Violence
,
and
exciting
the
fierce
Wrath
,
and
rendring
a
Man
ready
and
prompt
for
any
Acts
of
Cruelty
and
Oppression
,
&c.
And
in
the
Book
called
,
The
Good-Houswife
,
&c.
he
saith
,
From
the
common
Eating
of
Flesh
,
without
distinction
,
proceeds
Ptisicks
,
Stoppages
of
the
Breast
,
makes
the
Spirits
dull
and
impure
;
whence
do
arise
heavy
,
lumpish
Dispositions
,
with
ravenous
fierce
Inclinations
,
and
cruel
Passions
,
which
Causes
many
to
use
evil
words
;
demonstrating
that
the
dark
Center
of
Wrath
is
awakened
;
—
wicked
and
hellish
Speeches
,
Cursing
,
and
not
only
impiously
prophaning
the
Name
of
God
,
but
even
challenging
,
and
as
it
were
,
daring
his
tremendous
Majesty
(
whose
Wrath
is
a
Consuming
Fire
)
to
Damn
and
Confound
them
,
and
calling
their
fellow
Creatures
,
Dogs
,
Whelps
,
Sons
of
Whores
,
and
an
hundred
of
the
like
Names
,
p.
217
,
and
218.
And
tho'
he
saith
,
all
this
comes
of
,
or
proceeds
from
the
Common
Eating
of
Flesh
;
(
how
true
or
false
it
is
,
let
the
Reader
judge
)
yet
eaten
with
Reddock
,
Dandelion
,
Comfrey
,
it
is
A
brave
wholesome
Food
,
saith
he
;
(
if
boyled
,
buttered
and
salted
as
he
directs
;
)
But
in
contradiction
again
to
this
,
and
that
the
Reader
may
see
how
he
goes
round
,
in
p.
75.
of
his
Book
termed
Wisdom's
Call
,
&c.
he
saith
,
Do
not
eat
Flesh
nor
Fish
:
And
in
p.
45.
of
the
same
Book
,
he
saith
,
It
can't
be
eaten
without
Violence
,
&c.
But
in
p.
186.
of
his
Good
Housewife
,
&c.
he
saith
,
With
Spinnage
,
Sorrel
,
Lettice
,
and
a
few
Onions
,
Vinegar
and
Salt
,
you
may
eat
Meat
:
So
he
forbids
the
eating
of
it
,
and
yet
allows
it
;
he
greatly
discommends
it
,
and
commends
it
for
a
brave
wholsome
Food
:
But
how
brave
a
Philosopher
or
Divine
he
is
herein
,
let
them
that
have
received
a
Divine
Understanding
judge
;
and
let
T.
T.
prove
,
if
he
can
,
that
the
common
eating
of
Flesh
in
Moderation
,
and
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
receiving
it
with
Thanksgiving
,
makes
any
Mans
Spirit
impure
,
&c.
or
makes
them
use
evil
Words
,
wicked
and
hellish
Speeches
,
&c.
and
,
as
it
were
challenge
God
to
Damn
them
,
&c.
And
also
let
him
prove
,
that
Reddock
,
Dandelion
,
Comfrey
,
hath
such
properties
in
them
to
make
that
wholesome
,
which
(
if
eaten
without
them
)
would
be
of
such
ill
tendency
,
and
breed
Ptisicks
,
Stoppages
of
the
Breast
,
&c.
So
wishing
he
may
have
a
more
clear
Understanding
,
especially
in
those
things
that
are
Divine
;
I
shall
conclude
,
desiring
none
may
be
like
Children
that
are
tossed
to
and
fro
with
every
Wind
of
Doctrine
,
by
the
Sleight
of
Men
,
and
cunning
Craftiness
,
whereby
they
lye
in
wait
to
deceive
;
but
through
Obedience
to
the
Truth
and
Spirit
of
it
in
their
own
Hearts
,
may
Day
by
Day
know
a
growing
into
him
in
all
things
,
in
whom
the
Father
is
well-pleased
,
that
they
may
come
to
be
accepted
in
the
Beloved
;
through
whom
,
to
God
only
wise
be
Glory
,
for
ever
.
Amen
.
