Now the second case is proposed for resolution, &c. If one that is unclean; ceremonially or legally polluted, and unclean. By a dead body; for such touch, though at unawares, did pollute, Numbers 19:13. Touch any of these; bread or pottage, wine, or oil, or meat. Shall it be unclean? shall that which the unclean (by touch of the dead) doth touch become unclean, or no? Though a mediate touch of what is holy will not make holy, yet will not a mediate touch of what is polluted defile whatsoever it toucheth? It shall be unclean; it is resolved affirmatively, It shall be polluted.
