Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 10:19

19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is sacrificed to idols is any thing? .

I do not by this contradict what I before said, nor now affirm, that an Idol is any thing, or the Sacrifices offered to it any thing. An Idol hath nothing in it of a Dei[illegible: 1 letter]y, nor can it either sanctifie, or pollute any thing that is set before it; the errour is in your action, as you communicate with such as are Idolaters; it is your own action that polluteth you, not the Idol, nor yet the meat set before it.
