A39674	Planelogia, a succinct and seasonable discourse of the occasions, causes, nature, rise, growth, and remedies of mental errors written some months since, and now made publick, both for the healing and prevention of the sins and calamities which have broken in this way upon the churches of Christ, to the great scandal of religion, hardening of the wicked, and obstruction of Reformation : whereunto are subjoined by way of appendix : I.

the_o whole_a law_n for_o righteousness_n you_o may_v ponder_v this_o argument_n at_o your_o leisure_n and_o not_o think_v to_o refute_v it_o at_o so_o cheap_a a_o rate_n as_o by_o call_v it_o a_o

of_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v a_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o so_o do_v circumcision_n in_o the_o very_a direct_a and_o primary_n end_v of_o it_o

appendage_n under_o which_o be_v veil_v many_o spiritual_a mystery_n relate_v to_o christ_n and_o mortification_n of_o sin_n by_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n to_o be_v no_o covenant_n of_o work_n

of_o adam_n so_o the_o death_n or_o cut_v off_o speak_v of_o here_o seem_v to_o be_v another_o thing_n from_o that_o threaten_a to_o adam_n circumcision_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o be_v appoint_v

it_o must_v be_v further_o prove_v that_o abraham_n and_o all_o his_o believe_a offspring_n who_o stand_v with_o he_o under_o that_o covenant_n whereof_o circumcision_n be_v the_o initiate_a sign_n

they_o stand_v indeed_o under_o that_o covenant_n as_o a_o pure_a covenant_n of_o work_n but_o be_v save_v by_o another_o covenant_n and_o so_o for_o many_o age_n the_o church_n of_o god_n stand_v
