A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §474 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio III §.X (6) close: Natural humanity — corporal chewing of Christ’s flesh vs Lev. blood ban; stop before §.XI (7) Sense

It also butts natural common humanity: commanding Christ’s human flesh chewed and His blood drunk with the corporal mouth — acts unfallen human nature spontaneously abhors.

God once expressly barred the Jewish people from all animal blood (Lev. 7:27; 17:14) so that abhorrence would be the surer.

Stop before §.XI (7) Sense.

Latin

Dein HUMANITATEM QUOQUE NATURALEM Communemque, statuendo jubendoque Carnem Christi humanam, corporali ore manducandam & sanguinem ejus humanum, ore corporali hauriendum bibendumque, Actiones hoc pacto imperando, à quibus humana Natura, nondum in brutam degenerata, sponte suâ abhorret & ut abhorreret tantò certiùs, olim, in gente Judaica, ab omni animantium sanguine abstinendum esse, disertô à DEO præcepto cautum fuisse legitur, Lev. 7. vers. 27. & cap. 17. 14.
