faith_n oppose_v to_o a_o perfect_a and_o unsinning_a obedience_n for_o thus_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o opposition_n to_o his_o be_v etc._n

in_o his_o discourse_n do_v all_o along_o refer_v to_o the_o original_a controversy_n between_o the_o jewish_a and_o gentile-converts_a whether_o justification_n be_v by_o the_o observation_n of_o

with_o be_v chief_o of_o two_o sort_n pure_a jew_n and_o jewish_n convert_v pure_a jew_n be_v those_o that_o keep_v themselves_o whole_o to_o the_o legal_a oeconomy_n and_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v in_o no_o other_o way_n than_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n indeed_o they_o lay_v a_o more_o peculiar_a stress_n upon_o circumcision_n because_o this_o have_v be_v add_v as_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o the_o discriminate_a badge_n whereby_o they_o be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o all_o other_o
