you_o be_v without_o christ_n separate_v from_o the_o government_n of_o israel_n and_o stranger_n from_o the_o promise_n but_o metaphorical_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o allusion_n to_o natural_a

rather_o hold_v the_o former_a exposition_n because_o it_o agree_v better_a with_o the_o text_n for_o paul_n make_v mention_v that_o uncircumcision_n be_v not_o let_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o circumcision_n derogate_v or_o take_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o which_o already_o they_o have_v obtain_v in_o that_o he_o ascribe_v death_n unto_o uncircumcision_n he_o do_v it_o not_o as_o unto_o the_o cause_n but_o as_o to_o the_o badge_n or_o mark_n thereof_o as_o he_o do_v in_o that_o other_o place_n to_o the_o epesian_o which_o i_o have_v allege_v and_o it_o be_v often_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n by_o privation_n of_o the_o sign_n to_o note_v the_o privation_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o ge._n 3.22_o lest_o happy_o adam_n eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o life_n and_o live_v for_o the_o tree_n do_v not_o give_v life_n but_o after_o it_o be_v take_v away_o it_o be_v the_o sign_n or_o badge_n of_o

too_o in_o the_o uncircumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n this_o be_v the_o outward_a uncleanness_n a_o testimony_n of_o spiritual_a death_n by_o forgive_a you_o god_n in_o deed_n do_v not_o quicken_v we_o by_o only_a forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o this_o place_n he_o do_v peculiar_o make_v mention_n thereof_o because_o free_a reconciliation_n with_o god_n which_o overthrow_v righteousness_n of_o work_n do_v special_o belong_v to_o the_o present_a cause_n wherein_o he_o discourse_v about_o abrogate_a &_o do_v a_o way_n of_o ceremony_n as_o more_o large_o he_o have_v treat_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galathian_o for_o the_o false_a apostle_n in_o establish_v ceremony_n do_v bind_v the_o conscience_n with_o a_o snare_n from_o which_o christ_n have_v loose_v they_o 14_o have_v put_v out_o the_o handwriting_n now_o do_v he_o hand_n to_o hand_n cope_v with_o the_o false_a apostle_n for_o this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o case_n whether_o the_o keep_n of_o ceremony_n be_v necessary_a under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n but_o paul_n contend_v that_o ceremony_n be_v abolish_v and_o that_o he_o may_v prove_v it_o he_o compare_v they_o to_o a_o handwriting_n whereby_o god_n hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v bind_v so_o that_o we_o can_v deny_v our_o guiltiness_n or_o debt_n now_o he_o say_v we_o have_v so_o be_v deliver_v from_o guiltiness_n that_o the_o handwriting_n also_o have_v be_v put_v out_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v extant_a in_o memory_n handwriting_n we_o use_v to_o subscribe_v our_o name_n or_o mark_v with_o our_o hand_n whereby_o we_o ratify_v the_o bond_n or_o writing_n and_o that_o here_o be_v term_v handwriting_n for_o we_o know_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n while_o the_o hand-writing_n remain_v the_o bond_n or_o obligation_n be_v of_o force_n but_o after_o the_o handwriting_n be_v raze_v or_o tear_v in_o piece_n the_o debtor_n be_v free_a and_o acquit_v whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o they_o do_v diminish_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n which_o as_o yet_o urge_v ceremony_n as_o though_o we_o be_v not_o by_o he_o acquit_v and_o set_v free_a for_o they_o restore_v to_o the_o handwriting_n the_o force_n which_o it_o have_v that_o they_o may_v still_o keep_v we_o endanger_v this_o therefore_o be_v a_o true_a reason_n in_o divinity_n to_o prove_v the_o abolish_n of_o ceremony_n because_o if_o christ_n have_v full_o and_o perfect_o redeem_v we_o from_o guiltiness_n and_o out_o of_o danger_n he_o ought_v also_o to_o take_v away_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o obligation_n whereby_o the_o conscience_n may_v be_v at_o

of_o they_o do_v satisfy_v i_o some_o do_v think_v that_o paul_n speak_v simp_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o untrue_o for_o paul_n be_v accustom_v to_o call_v that_o portion_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v place_v in_o ceremony_n decree_n as_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n and_o a_o little_a after_o special_o the_o place_n to_o the_o ephesian_n chap._n 2._o ver_fw-la 15._o manifestlye_o prove_v that_o paul_n in_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o ceremony_n and_o therefore_o better_o do_v they_o which_o restrain_v it_o to_o ceremony_n but_o in_o this_o point_n they_o also_o be_v deceive_v that_o they_o add_v not_o a_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v call_v a_o hand-writing_n or_o rather_o they_o allege_v or_o assign_v a_o cause_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o true_a cause_n indeed_o neither_o yet_o do_v they_o aptelye_o apply_v this_o similitude_n to_o the_o text_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v that_o all_o the_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n have_v with_o they_o some_o confession_n of_o guiltiness_n which_o bind_v the_o follower_n of_o they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o more_o straight_o band_n before_o the_o judgement_n of_o god._n as_o for_o example_n what_o other_o thing_n be_v the_o washinge_n but_o a_o testimony_n of_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n as_o oft_o as_o any_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v up_o do_v not_o the_o people_n that_o stand_v by_o behold_v in_o the_o same_o a_o image_n or_o representation_n of_o their_o own_o death_n for_o when_o man_n do_v place_n in_o their_o steed_n a_o harmless_a beast_n they_o confess_v that_o they_o themselves_o deserve_v that_o death_n to_o be_v breeze_n look_v how_o many_o rite_n or_o ceremony_n there_o be_v so_o many_o show_v of_o man_n guiltiness_n and_o handwritinge_n of_o obligation_n be_v there_o if_o any_o object_n and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v sacrament_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o at_o this_o day_n baptism_n and_o the_o eucharist_n be_v unto_o we_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a for_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o old_a ceremony_n that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o time_n and_o than_o that_o which_o lead_v man_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n whatsoever_o be_v than_o do_v do_v show_v forth_o nothing_o else_o but_o a_o obligation_n or_o bind_v grace_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n suspend_v and_o defer_v till_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n not_o that_o the_o father_n be_v exclude_v from_o the_o same_o but_o they_o have_v no_o present_a show_n thereof_o in_o their_o ceremony_n for_o they_o do_v see_v nothing_o beside_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n in_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o their_o wash_n they_o do_v see_v nothing_o but_o water_n therefore_o as_o concern_v the_o present_a view_n or_o show_v guiltiness_n remain_v nay_o rather_o the_o ceremony_n themselves_o do_v seal_v up_o and_o sign_n guiltiness_n after_o this_o manner_n also_o speak_v the_o apostle_n in_o all_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrews_n because_o he_o set_v christ_n direct_o opposite_a and_o against_o the_o ceremony_n but_o how_o be_v it_o now_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o death_n have_v not_o only_o deliver_v we_o from_o condemnation_n of_o death_n but_o to_o the_o end_n our_o acquit_v and_o discharge_n may_v be_v the_o more_o certain_a he_o have_v abrogate_a and_o do_v away_o those_o ceremony_n that_o there_o shall_v appear_v no_o remembrance_n or_o

that_o may_v testify_v that_o we_o be_v guilty_a and_o endanger_v unto_o god_n erasmus_n in_o his_o translation_n have_v disorder_v and_o confound_v the_o text_n set_v down_o by_o paul_n while_o he_o thus_o place_v it_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o we_o by_o decree_n therefore_o hold_v fast_o as_o it_o be_v true_a and_o natural_a this_o read_n which_o i_o have_v set_v down_o he_o have_v take_v out_o of_o the_o way_n have_v fasten_v it_o to_o his_o cross_n he_o show_v the_o way_n whereby_o christ_n have_v raze_v the_o handwriting_n for_o as_o he_o fasten_v to_o his_o cross_n our_o curse_n and_o malediction_n our_o sin_n and_o pain_n also_o due_a to_o we_o so_o have_v he_o do_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n &_o what_o soever_o belong_v to_o the_o bind_n of_o
