Of this the Hebrewes fay, He that eateth (prefump- tumnfly) fo much at an olive 'fate f7ejh of any carrell that is dead, or wilde heal} that is dead orfocale that is dead, is to be beaten. And whatfiever is not killed fo as is meet, loe that is a dead- carklffi. Nothing is forbidden by thenameof acarl , but the farts of cleane things only; beeaufe they are fie to beßaice, and if they be flame, after a lawfdl manner, they are lawful! to be ea- ten. But unleane things, whofe flaying availeth them not , whether they be duely Elaine, or dye alone, or the_ fiefñ be eut offfrom them alive; who f eateth of them is not beaten at far a car , or a tonne thing ; bur at fir ea- ting f enchant fee fh. Who fo eateth a cleane bird alive all f it ; is beaten as fir eating a earkaf. Who fa ea- teth of the flefh of an untimely-birth of a cleane beafl, is beaten at for eating of a earka . And it is unlawfull . to eat of any bey that is borne , until! the eight night (after,) Exodus 22.30. for who foo'tarieth not eight dayes fir a beaf , it is at an untimely-birth; though he is not beaten fo : that. The law forbiddeth a dead thing, and that is a carkaffe : and forbiddeth that which inclinerh to dye , though it be not already dead , andthat is the torne thing. There is no difference*: the death, whether it dye of it felfe alone, or whether itfall and dye, or whether it be firangled :mull it dye, or that a wilde beef} bath remand killedit.

As the for- bidding of uncleaue pleats: Levit.t t.. fpiritually forbad communion with wickedperfons,A &s io. 22:28. fo this prohibition of things not duely (lain, forbiddeth in my ((erie, to have religious communion with fuch as are dead in their trel-. paffes & fins; and which are not mortified by the worke of Gods word and fpirit, EpheC2. í,a,3, 2 Cor.6. 16.17. Colof. 2.13. and 3.5. By the former explanation out of Maimony it appeareth that the flratgledthing forbidden by the Apo(tles unto the Gentilestogetherwith blood, in Acts t 5. 20.29. was therarhajle or dead thing here fpoken of , for the Law otherwife mentioneth not the Rrangled.And this compared withDeuteronomy 14.2i . where the'Gentilesare permitted to Bate fuch things ; giveth light to the true meaning of that decree in A &s 15. anda torne thing land is here for or , diftinguilhing and disjoyning it, from the carkaffe aforefaid. Any cleane bead or bird,which by other bee(( or fowle, or any other way, was torne or maimed,but not fully dead, is here meant : as is noted upon Exodus 22.31. where this law is fir(( given, and (hewed to tend alfo unto fan &ification. If it be tonne anddead, it is a cart (forementioned,)but this is a diffe- rent precept , and fo meaneth torne things yet living : as the Hebrewes obferve. Maimony in Forbidden meats, chap.4.fe &.6. Againe, The tone tbtng fioken of in the Law is that which is inclining to die. And it is not called tome , but that the fcripture fpeaketb by an inflance; at that a Lion or the like, bath :erne it and broken it , and it is tot yet dead.

Where the Greeke words eis lof, that is , for a prey, or to be taken : feeme to expreffe the Hebrew terephah, the Borne thing here mentioned: as in Iob 24.5. the Hebrew latareph, for a prey ;is turned in Greche eis ho-loftn, by Aquila an ancient interpre- ter.So that the eating of fuch, that is the commu- nion with them , isby this law forbidden : fuch ftelhwas to be call unto thedcogge: Fexodus 22 31. home borne] the naturillIfraelite. or ff ranger]of the Frofeiytes,as the Greeke tranflateth : that is,hoathens converted to thefaith & Church oflfrael.For if they were not joyned Profelytes, the ((rangers inI fuel plight at there things ; as Mofes (heweth in Deuteronomi 14.21 .fay ing of' the dead thing (or carkaffi,) thon fhalt Bite it unto the ffranger that is in thy gates , (which the Chaldee there expouudcth the uncireumcifed inhabitant) that be may eat it.
