shadow_v the_o whole_a island_n so_o these_o law_n be_v but_o the_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v they_o be_v all_o under_o a_o cloud_n but_o now_o the_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o the_o partition_n wall_n be_v break_v the_o sun_n appear_v the_o shadow_n vanish_v and_o save_a knowledge_n be_v apparent_a to_o all_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n that_o do_v not_o

it_o in_o the_o thing_n itself_o circumcision_n be_v the_o cut_n off_o the_o foreskin_n of_o man_n flesh_n which_o in_o latin_a be_v call_v praeputium_fw-la whereby_o god_n will_v have_v abraham_n

the_o eight_o day_n after_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o child_n and_o they_o that_o refuse_v to_o be_v circumcise_v be_v to_o be_v out_o off_o from_o the_o live_n gen._n 17._o the_o reason_n of_o which_o law_n be_v to_o signify_v that_o all_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o man_n be_v corrupt_a and_o must_v be_v mortify_v now_o because_o christ_n as_o on_o this_o day_n subject_v himself_o to_o this_o law_n epiphanius_n write_v that_o the_o follower_n of_o ebion_n and_o cerinthus_n gather_v from_o hence_o that_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v circumcise_v because_o the_o disciple_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o his_o master_n be_v but_o he_o confute_v they_o thus_o christ_n be_v not_o circumcise_v as_o a_o mere_a man_n as_o they_o hold_v but_o be_v god_n he_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n by_o take_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o man_n and_o be_v circumcise_v that_o this_o figure_n may_v appear_v to_o have_v the_o spiritual_a effect_n from_o he_o that_o from_o thenceforth_o not_o figure_n any_o more_o but_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v divulge_v by_o he_o and_o his_o disciple_n he_o be_v circumcise_v for_o many_o cause_n first_o that_o he_o may_v show_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o flesh_n against_o the_o manichee_n second_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o his_o humanity_n be_v not_o consubstantial_a with_o his_o divinity_n against_o apollinaris_n three_o that_o he_o bring_v it_o not_o from_o heaven_n against_o valentinus_n four_o that_o he_o may_v confirm_v circumcision_n which_o do_v serve_v as_o a_o figure_n of_o his_o come_n and_o last_o that_o the_o jew●s_n may_v have_v no_o excuse_n leave_v unto_o they_o for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v circumcise_v they_o may_v have_v say_v they_o can_v not_o receive_v a_o christ_n uncircumcised_a origen_n say_v as_o we_o die_v with_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v with_o christ_n rise_v so_o we_o be_v circumcise_v with_o christ_n circumcision_n so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o now_o to_o be_v circumcise_v beda_n render_v the_o reason_n thus_o christ_n be_v circumcise_v to_o commend_v unto_o we_o the_o virtue_n of_o obedience_n by_o his_o own_o example_n and_o that_o in_o compassion_n he_o may_v help_v those_o that_o be_v set_v under_o the_o law_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n and_o thus_o he_o which_o come_v in_o the_o similitude_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n do_v not_o refuse_v the_o remedy_n whereby_o sinful_a flesh_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v cleanse_v there_o be_v the_o same_o remedy_n against_o the_o wound_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o circumcision_n which_o be_v now_o in_o baptism_n for_o as_o athanas_n say_v nothing_o else_o be_v figure_v out_o by_o circumcision_n but_o the_o spoil_n of_o the_o old_a generation_n in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v cut_v away_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o generation_n therefore_o christ_n be_v without_o original_a sin_n need_v not_o to_o be_v circumcise_v but_o only_o to_o commend_v obedience_n by_o his_o example_n and_o to_o take_v away_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n for_o our_o sake_n only_o he_o be_v circumcise_v in_o his_o flesh_n that_o we_o in_o he_o may_v be_v circumcise_v in_o spirit_n and_o cyril_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n and_o so_o rise_v again_o the_o eight_o day_n and_o intimate_v unto_o we_o the_o spiritual_a circumcision_n when_o he_o say_v go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o &c._n &c._n at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o have_v the_o name_n jesus_n impose_v upon_o he_o which_o signify_v a_o saviour_n because_o he_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n which_o he_o prefigure_v in_o his_o circumcision_n according_a to_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v you_o be_v circumcise_v not_o with_o circumcision_n m●de_v with_o hand_n ●ut_v with_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n now_o it_o be_v render_v by_o some_o of_o the_o rabbin_n that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o messiah_n shall_v be_v jesus_n for_o this_o reason_n among_o other_o that_o as_o the_o name_n of_o he_o who_o first_o bring_v the_o jew_n out_o of_o bondage_n into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n be_v jesus_n of_o josuah_n which_o be_v all_o one_o so_o must_v his_o name_n be_v jesus_n that_o shall_v the_o second_o ●ime_n deliver_v they_o from_o the_o bondage_n wherein_o they_o be_v and_o restore_v they_o to_o their_o old_a and_o ancient_a possession_n of_o jewry_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a benefit_n they_o expect_v by_o the_o messiah_n which_o be_v true_a in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n and_o the_o express_a name_n of_o jesus_n be_v prophesy_v long_o before_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o esdras_n which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o canonical_a yet_o it_o be_v allow_v for_o a_o good_a book_n in_o these_o word_n of_o god_n the_o father_n behold_v the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o the_o sign_n shall_v appear_v that_o i_o have_v tell_v etc._n etc._n and_o my_o son_n jesus_n shall_v be_v reveal_v with_o these_o who_o be_v with_o he_o and_o after_o those_o day_n my_o son_n christ_n shall_v die_v and_o the_o earth_n shall_v render_v those_o that_o sleep_v therein_o so_o now_o have_v take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o old_a law_n let_v we_o look_v into_o the_o new_a and_o the_o rather_o because_o this_o day_n be_v call_v new-yeares-day_n the_o beginning_n of_o the_o julian_n year_n and_o the_o sacrament_n that_o come_v in_o place_n of_o the_o old_a be_v call_v the_o sacrament_n of_o initiation_n the_o beginning_n or_o entrance_n into_o a_o holy_a profession_n and_o it_o be_v as_o a_o most_o effectual_a pledge_n and_o witness_v of_o our_o renew_n and_o restore_v by_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v well_o set_v down_o in_o our_o common_a catechism_n in_o these_o word_n for_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n bear_v in_o sin_n and_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n be_v by_o the_o meritorious_a blood_n of_o christ_n make_v the_o child_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v lively_o represent_v in_o the_o element_n of_o water_n for_o as_o water_n purify_v the_o uncleanness_n of_o the_o body_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n for_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n that_o be_v he_o have_v by_o his_o death_n so_o full_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n sin_n be_v dead_a in_o they_o that_o lie_v hold_v on_o he_o by_o a_o true_a and_o a_o lively_a faith_n which_o with_o repentance_n be_v require_v in_o person_n to_o be_v baptize_v for_o the_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n blood_n signify_v by_o the_o element_n of_o water_n in_o
