suffer_v not_o titus_n to_o be_v circumcise_v for_o all_o that_o neither_o will_v he_o yield_v so_o much_o as_o a_o foot_n of_o ground_n unto_o they_o neither_o in_o a_o inch_n of_o truth_n nor_o for_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n for_o a_o little_a yield_v in_o so_o great_a matter_n be_v not_o a_o little_a contend_v there_o be_v difference_n between_o a_o necessary_a contention_n and_o a_o desire_n of_o contend_v but_o the_o controversy_n be_v but_o a_o quarrel_n of_o ceremony_n and_o what_o need_n so_o much_o ado_a then_o have_v it_o not_o be_v better_a to_o have_v be_v quiet_a to_o have_v sleep_v in_o a_o hole_n skin_n and_o to_o have_v redeem_v peace_n though_o it_o be_v with_o loss_n nay_o very_o the_o loss_n of_o liberty_n of_o truth_n and_o verity_n be_v more_o than_o may_v be_v easy_o bear_v or_o quiet_o digest_v and_o the_o root_n of_o true_a peace_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o peace_n and_o he_o who_o be_v the_o truth_n he_o be_v our_o peace_n also_o 2.14_o also_o eph._n 2.14_o which_o have_v make_v both_o one_o viz._n by_o take_v away_o quite_o the_o partition_n of_o ceremony_n and_o therefore_o the_o retain_v of_o these_o ceremony_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n be_v a_o very_a breach_n of_o perfect_a peace_n and_o a_o bring_n in_o of_o a_o heavy_a yoke_n &_o a_o jewish_a servility_n wherefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o paul_n be_v earnest_a for_o what_o reason_n that_o because_o some_o wily_a and_o wilful_a man_n brethren_n in_o name_n but_o false_a indeed_o and_o therefore_o no_o brethren_n nay_o what_o if_o very_a brethren_n shall_v hap_v to_o
