be_v circumcise_v with_o they_o which_o be_v not_o circumcise_v if_o we_o circumcise_v in_o part_n leave_v some_o sin_n and_o cleave_v to_o other_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n

again_o abraham_n do_v not_o say_v of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o commandment_n in_o a_o flight_n and_o frivolous_a and_o uncivil_a matter_n do_v not_o thou_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o

glory_n of_o god_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o foolishness_n of_o god_n be_v wise_a than_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n so_o we_o may_v pious_o say_v that_o the_o levity_n of_o god_n be_v grave_a than_o the_o gravity_n of_o all_o the_o philosopher_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o world_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o all_o his_o ceremontall_a law_n where_o the_o matter_n seem_v very_o
