Thefe I take be the firongefi foundationsof their tottering building: as for other which they vent out to theworld, they are but flames, and pretences, and fandy grounds of foolifh builders, as nowwe are to ma- nifeli. O6ieí?. Fire, out ofthe old Tefiament they alledge dinette things: a: Leu.tt.Reyehell,for laro holy and, The thatcarrie theholyveffdlrof the Lord, be hely and the Priefis and Leuites in mini(ring their turnes be- fore the Lord, mxffabf winefrom theirwillies : andAimelech would not glueDead: youngmen hallowedbread, vnleffe they had a6frainedfrom, women : and they that ate the Paffeouer, had their loses girt, which is the festeoflull. Therefore none in orders may marrie, Anfro. t. In fuchallegations they are long and tedious,but ofwhich Imay truely fay as the Stoiks ofdifcefesg ifthey be long, they are light.

As for that of eflbimelech, a.Dauidt feruants were fouldiers, not Priefis, and therefore it is impertinent : 2. they were fuch as had wines: how can we conclude from them, that other men ought to bane none. 3. it was a quefiion which the Lord would haue Ab;. selec$ aske D.tail, and that byoracle,as appeareth,v.t t.concerning tome legal defilement; which euenby touching tome women, might debarre them from touch- ing the holy bread. 4. let them alfo conclude that no Ifra,lites might marrie,beraufc at the giving ofthe law, they mua abllaine 3.daies from their wines. In the three former allegations they arenot unlike an inexpert mutiri- an, who harped) altogether vpon Tome one iarring firing, and fo mattes all the mufique: for all of them arc laid vpon this vnfoundand vogodly rrition,which they take for graunted,That marriage is an vncleane and vaholy thing. for this is the tenour ofall their conciuitona,be holy,& ther- fore :bAaine frommarriage.
