And that the Decree of the Apostles and Elders, Acts 15. might have such a Reference, prohibiting these things conjunctly, Idolatry, and Fornication, and things strangled, and Blood; that they should by no means mingle with the Pagans in these Horrid Rites, a learned Modern Writer of our own hath rendered very probable*. And hereto those vehement Dehortations of the Apostle must answerably be understood to refer, 1 Cor. 10. 11. remonstrating to them, that they could not have fellowship with the Lord's Table, and the Table of Devils. And I would not, says he, that you should have fellowship with Devils. For tho' he did ⟨p. 9⟩not judge it unlawful to eat of the Idolytha, i. e. things offered to Idols, being sold in the Shambles, he yet most earnestly protests against their presuming to mingle and partake in the horrid Diabolical Rites, and impure Practices that were wont to be used at their Festivals in the Idols Temples.
