past_a baptism_n under_o the_o gospel_n second_o of_o the_o notable_a fruit_n and_o benefit_n seal_v to_o we_o in_o these_o sacrament_n here_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o

those_o thing_n first_o which_o be_v name_v last_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v of_o &_o name_v philosophy_n first_o and_o then_o of_o the_o rudiment_n and_o ceremony_n he_o first_o speak_v against_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o because_o circumcision_n be_v most_o stand_v upon_o and_o chief_o regard_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v speak_v of_o circumcision_n for_o circumcision_n be_v especial_o commend_v in_o the_o law_n as_o that_o which_o be_v perform_v by_o all_o and_o be_v appoint_v as_o a_o badge_n under_o the_o law_n to_o distinguish_v the_o church_n of_o god_n from_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o be_v not_o circumcise_v be_v abominable_a as_o moses_n be_v in_o danger_n for_o his_o son_n uncircumcised_a exod_a 4._o 24._o again_o because_o the_o circumcision_n be_v 400._o year_n before_o the_o law_n be_v and_o therefore_o they_o think_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v abolish_v with_o the_o law_n but_o the_o

and_o therefore_o need_v not_o to_o be_v circumcise_v again_o further_o we_o have_v baptism_n in_o steed_n of_o circumcision_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o belong_v unto_o us._n again_o he_o
