Talmud. Big. in Zabin. ch.2.f.4. Which is explained thus; A thing that is made fie abed, or a feat , or faddk , though it be under ei flan ;if one of them that defile tbs fat, farad upon the fiane, or fit, or lie, or lean, or bang upon it, he is defiled.

The Hebrewes h we for thefe things a limitation,they fay , Ii that bath an Oils defileth not the thing, till the mofi part of him be upon the bed, or the feat , or the fid- dle. Yet , if he panel upon twa beds ; wjth one fiat upon one bed , and bic other foot on the other ; they are both of them unclean. Maim. in Metamz mifhcab. c.7.C3.4 This figured the contagion offrn, which defileth men, and all the good creatures and benefits which God giveth us inthis life : unto the pure, all things are pure : but snap' them that are defiled and unho- leeving,is nothing pure.

See thenotes on Leviti- cus 11.24.32. Verf.8.Chaff fpiejThe fpittle of him that hath an iffue is unclean, and defileth even as the iffue it felfe,v.2. Hereby was figured the pollution that commcth to the fouls ofinen,by the impuredoc- trine which falfe Prophets and hereticks fpit ottt of their ntouthes; 2 Pet.2. 1.2.3. 1 Tim.4. 1.2. Tit:1.9.10.1 r.as may be gathered by the contra- ry, when Chrift by fpitting on men, opened and loofed the eyes, ears and tongues of the blinde, deafe, and dumb; Mark 8.23. and 7.33.1óh9.6 whereby the power and eflicacie of the wordout 'tzf the mouth of Chrift was fignified. And here under the name of fpittle , all excrements of the mouth and note (except blood) are comprehen- ded: as the Hebrew canons fay ; The man and wo- mm that bath an ifee , and the menfiruous, and the wo- man in childbirth : every one of there foure , are of the principal' fris of things; defiling veff/s by touching, and men by touching and bearing them ; and defile bed, and fiat, andfaddk, and all under them, and makes them mofi unclean. The fpittle of him that hatb an iffne, and bisfled, and his urine, .etery of thein three aremoff unclean by the law ; and do every whit of them defile by touching and by bearing. Lie it is faidof the f fpittle, and if he fpit upon him that is clean, (Lev.15.8.) and hie urine , andbir feed, its unpa /ble that there fbouhd not be fame of the ifCue in them. Bath man and menial that bath an gee , and the menfiruaue, and the woman iuohildbed, the fpittle and urine of every of them ismoft unclean. And f every play where it is laid i thefe palCages , He that bath an if fue, it implieth both him and the refdueof the foure. The thicee fpittle, excrements andwaterofthenafe, thefe are aithe fpittleineveryre- fpelf, and aregenera/ly reckoned as the fpittk. ,Maintony in Metatnei mifheab &'c. ch.1.f. 1.14.15.16.

Talmud. Bab.in Zabim, ch.3.f s,Likewife if it be not imme- diately under hint, but a 1 tine or other thing be- tween, yet it is unclean ; as is before noted , on verle 4. beareth]hereuponis that which fundry times is before mentioned, of pollution by bear - ing,atthough they touch them not. The contagi- oit of herefe,idolatry,and other fins, was hereby fhadowed : that all night be warned to keep themfelves pure, or by repentanceand faith in Chrift to purge themfelves, if they have been de- filed.

Al- though in other cafes fometintes the hands onely and feet were waffled, as Exod.3o.2a. yet in this cafe of uncleanises,as the whole man was defiled, fo the whole was to bewafhed;and the hands here are put,the part for the whole. Su the Hebrewes explaine it,faying; that which is faid ofhim that bath an iffue,(in Leu. t S.1 t.) and bath not rinfid his hands, is atifhe fhouldfay , that be fhouldbaptife his whole ba- die : and the fame ordinance is for other unclean perfont fo that if a man baptife bienfelfe all over , fazing the tip of his little finger, he it yet in his utwleannef e, &e.

Whcfoever is baptifed (or waffled) he muff baptife all his body , when be is naked, in one plate: and if he have lockof hair, be ntuf wafts all the hair of bù head fur by fmtence of the law, it is at his body, and azy unclean that are baptifedin their clothes , tt will ferve the turn , b caffe the water paffetb through them, and they part it not from the be. dy : and fo the menßruous woman that is baptifd in her clothes, it itlawfieU fir hertocompanywith her hnfband. If there be any thing that part between the body or zef- fell , and the water, ar if clay or my liI thing cleave to the i e f f man, or to a vrffll, it is unclean fill as it was , and the baptifrng profitetb them nothing.
