after_o he_o institute_v circumcision_n and_o threaten_v all_o those_o who_o have_v it_o not_o that_o they_o shall_v perish_v but_o circumcision_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n therefore_o although_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o benediction_n yet_o we_o must_v be_v baptise_a or_o else_o we_o perish_v eternal_o secondlie_o this_o promise_n and_o benediction_n be_v to_o be_v
