For those who refuse to eat blood at this day from that Decree, I think they err very much. Let them observe Levit. 17.11. the reason of the Command; and tell me whether they deny the blood which maketh atonement for our souls to be shed.
That Decree then commanded no positive duty, as our questions do, but a forbearance of some things in point of scandal, which God had forbidden.
The last Scripture I see Mr. Falkner mentions, is Christ his washing of Peters feet, a Jewish Paschal Rite.
Answ. As to the washing, being a thing in civil use in those Countries, and not in ours, if the thing Christ intended in it to which we are strictly bound, will not serve, though we use not to wash feet according to the mode of those Countries, we will take up that also, rather than omit any of his Institutions.
