sanctifie your selves] That is, you shall by application of these ceremoniall ordinances to your souls, inure your selves to a carefulnesse in your conversation, that you be not polluted with the societie of sinners, who are morally uncleane, as the beasts are uncleane ceremonially; and as by touching them there was contracted a ceremoniall uncleannesse, so may a man become morally defiled by familiaritie with the wicked: this was the spirituall use of this carnall commandement, for meat in it selfe was nothing to the sanctitie or sinne of the soule, Mark 7:15. Romans 14:14. 1 Corinthians 8:8.
