Blood is one of the principal substances of the body. It circulates smoothly and constantly in the body, nourishes and supports the internal organs, and maintains the functions and structures of the body. The Heart, Liver and Spleen directly influence the generation of blood.

The Liver stores the blood and regulates the volume of blood in the circulation it directly supports the activities of the Hun (soul). The Spleen is able to transform food into Qi and blood, and is considered the main source of Heart-blood and Liver-blood. The Kidney stores the essence, which can also transform into Liver-blood, so is another source of blood.

This means that, in Calvin s view, murder as well as marriage are contrary to the order of nature. In short ...

Their second reason is that it is not yet known what the government of the Independent is neither would they ever let the world know what they hold in that point, though some of their party have been too forward to challenge the London petitioners as led with blind obedience and pinning their souls upon their priest s sleeve for desiring an establishment of the government of Christ before there was any model of it extant.
