can_v this_o degree_n of_o perfection_n on_o the_o eight_o day_n resemble_v fit_a than_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o christ_n propitiatory_a sacrifice_n by_o his_o

the_o eight_o day_n do_v fall_v out_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n yet_o they_o must_v prefer_v the_o do_n of_o the_o act_n of_o circumcision_n because_o it_o be_v the_o eight_o day_n rather_o than_o
