As the Jews would easily to make a calf be brought to forgo their earrings. So that howsoever these things are dear unto them, yet in matter of religion (or superstition rather) they will spare no cost, as we see in times of Popery, and therefore the Apostle upbraideth to the Corinthians, that the false Prophets could do what they list with them, & tread them under their feet; so that in superstition, and contrary to the service of God they will part with any thing, in Gods service they will not part with a •ot. In the particular the Apostle useth a notable figure bringing in the adversaries themselves speaking, touch not &c. to show how much they had gained of them, and how far they were carried in their superstition, as not to touch, or taste.

Where we see the Apostle meeteth with that corruption and superstition in Popery, as if he had seen it. For we see that none might taste any flesh on friday, & therefore mothers, if children had tasted it, would have wiped their teeth.
