Acts10:14

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord ; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

These words may signifie one and the same thing, and the latter explain the former; shewing that those things are said to be common, which the Law by forbidding them, had made unclean: Others make some difference; and by things common, understand all sorts of creatures, which were forbidden to the Iews, but were commonly fed upon by all Nations round about them: and by things unclean, they understand such as by accident became so, as when any of the creatures permitted for use, was strangl[illegible: 1 letter]d.

Marginal references: Lev. 11 4. Deut. 14.7.
