Al- though other reafons may be rendred of the for- bidding of blood, as to reftrain men from cruel - tiè,or from communion with Idolaters, (for the Magi, or wife men ofCbaldeá, Mid to eat blood, when the converted with devils, and by them, fore-to Ìd things to come, whereas otherwife, the Chaldeans efchewedblood as an uncleane thing; as Maimóny fheweth in Morel nebtubim:) yet the maine,if not the only caufc,is given here of God, to be the ufe of blood upon the Altar, for their atonement ; which was meerly figurative, and which had the end & accomplifhment in Chrilf, Colof.2.16,17.
