it_o back_v with_o promise_n and_o reward_n to_o they_o which_o keep_v it_o and_o this_o they_o have_v which_o be_v circumcise_a by_o virtue_n of_o theâ—r_a circumcision_n for_o unto_o they_o which_o be_v circumcise_a be_v commit_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n chap._n 3.2_o and_o 9_o 4._o and_o psalm_n 147.10_o but_o if_o a_o man_n keep_v not_o the_o law_n it_o will_v be_v no_o profit_n to_o he_o to_o know_v the_o law_n and_o so_o no_o profit_n to_o be_v circumcise_a yea_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o have_v know_v the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n than_o after_o he_o have_v

that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v abrogate_a when_o the_o apostle_n write_v this_o and_o circumcision_n be_v a_o ceremony_n how_o can_v saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n as_o he_o do_v here_o
