the_o uncircumcision_n for_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o abraham_n unto_o righteousness_n how_o be_v it_o then_o impute_a when_o he_o be_v circumcise_a or_o uncircumcised_a not_o

be_v the_o diligent_a mark_v of_o the_o scripture_n circumcision_n be_v have_v in_o great_a estimation_n evident_a that_o which_o yet_o be_v not_o can_v not_o bring_v righteousness_n unto_o abraham_n but_o when_o abraham_n be_v pronounce_v justify_v circumcision_n be_v not_o yet_o wherefore_o it_o can_v not_o justify_v abraham_n let_v we_o in_o this_o manner_n set_v the_o order_n between_o the_o

be_v to_o be_v red_a and_o the_o time_n and_o moment_n in_o story_n be_v thorough_o to_o be_v consider_v he_o entreat_v of_o circumcision_n because_o all_o that_o controversy_n spring_v first_o by_o

a_o excellent_a worship_n ping_v of_o god_n wherefore_o we_o may_v infer_v or_o conclude_v that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v with_o that_o kind_a of_o work_n wherein_o consist_v the_o worship_v of_o god_n undoubted_o much_o less_o shall_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o other_o work_n for_o these_o be_v count_v more_o excellent_a &_o more_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n then_o be_v other_o work_n for_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o abraham_n unto_o righteousness_n these_o word_n serve_v wonderful_o to_o depress_v the_o pride_n and_o haughtiness_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o continual_o cry_v that_o righteousness_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n stand_v without_o circumcision_n but_o paul_n contrariwise_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v in_o abraham_n before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v for_o abraham_n be_v as_o yet_o uncircumcised_a when_o he_o be_v pronounce_v justify_v wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o many_o mo_z of_o the_o uncircumcised_a then_o of_o the_o jew_n be_v save_v after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n here_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n two_o father_n the_o one_o of_o the_o uncircumcised_a the_o other_o of_o circumcision_n and_o if_o

when_o he_o be_v of_o god_n count_v just_a what_o they_o be_v there_o remain_v for_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v so_o advance_v themselves_o above_o the_o gentle_n nothing_o undoubted_o but_o

to_o the_o obteinment_n of_o justification_n very_o apt_o do_v the_o apostle_n bring_v in_o these_o two_o man_n david_n and_o abraham_n of_o which_o the_o one_o that_o be_v david_n be_v now_o
