first_o book_n of_o moses_n circumcision_n it_o have_v also_o a_o appoint_a end_n to_o the_o which_o it_o shall_v endure_v that_o be_v even_o unto_o christ_n abraham_n be_v the_o principal_a ground_n of_o all_o the_o matter_n to_o who_o god_n give_v commandment_n to_o circumcise_v himself_o and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o his_o household_n and_o also_o whatsoever_o of_o the_o male_a kind_n be_v bear_v it_o shall_v be_v circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n after_o their_o birth_n they_z therefore_o that_o come_v with_o such_o a_o sign_n in_o their_o body_n have_v god_n their_o protector_n and_o

family_n and_o whatsoever_o of_o the_o male_a kind_n be_v bear_v shall_v be_v subject_a to_o circumcision_n that_o not_o only_o the_o jew_n may_v boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god._n for_o he_o receave_v the_o servant_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v gentile_n to_o be_v of_o his_o people_n and_o son_n and_o to_o have_v right_a of_o inheritance_n which_o be_v appoint_v to_o

be_v of_o the_o gentyle_n wherefore_o the_o jew_n have_v not_o the_o chief_a occasion_n to_o boast_v of_o this_o for_o although_o they_o extol_v circumcision_n very_o much_o yet_o this_o they_o can_v not_o deny_v that_o god_n have_v call_v unto_o it_o the_o gentyl_n which_o be_v not_o the_o son_n of_o abraham_n abrogat_fw-la but_o buy_v servant_n as_o touchinge_v this_o circumcision_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o leave_v for_o we_o but_o the_o type_n and_o fygure_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v also_o as_o touching_n the_o other_o history_n paste_v which_o only_a profit_n we_o in_o this_o that_o we_o may_v take_v thereof_o example_n of_o faith_n and_o true_a godliness_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o ceremony_n yet_o have_v we_o need_v of_o such_o obedience_n and_o such_o faith_n as_o they_o be_v than_o which_o live_v under_o such_o ceremony_n wherefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o circumcision_n be_v not_o put_v forth_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v circumcise_a for_o this_o ceremony_n be_v disannul_v but_o that_o we_o by_o the_o rehearsal_n thereof_o shall_v remember_v to_o show_v obedience_n to_o god_n as_o abraham_n show_v if_o christ_n have_v not_o come_v circumcision_n shall_v have_v be_v necessary_a even_o at_o this_o time_n for_o we_o if_o so_o be_v we_o will_v be_v of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o the_o condition_n be_v straight_o and_o without_o exception_n he_o that_o be_v not_o circumcise_v his_o soul_n must_v be_v exempt_a out_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n wherefore_o the_o example_n that_o we_o take_v of_o the_o old_a circumcision_n be_v this_o that_o god_n in_o this_o image_n declare_v unto_o we_o how_o contrary_a to_o reason_n he_o work_v and_o command_v if_o a_o man_n use_v the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n for_o amongst_o the_o proud_a gentyl_n it_o seem_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v laugh_v at_o that_o god_n which_o be_v so_o wise_a shall_v set_v forth_o such_o a_o mad_a precepte_v whereof_o be_v make_v mention_n in_o preaching_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o shamefastness_n honesty_n and_o chastity_n and_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v age_v that_o be_v command_v so_o to_o do_v for_o abraham_n at_o that_o time_n be_v four_o score_n and_o nintyne_v year_n old_a and_o hereof_o rise_v contumelious_a name_n offend_v so_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v name_v recutiti_n and_o appelles_n among_o the_o gentyl_n that_o be_v to_o say_v man_n who_o skin_n be_v grow_v again_o or_o man_n without_o skin_n but_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n next_o before_n whatsoever_o be_v of_o god_n put_v forth_o it_o be_v do_v with_o such_o a_o fashion_n that_o all_o man_n laughthe_v it_o to_o scorn_v no_o man_n alow_v it_o but_o all_o te_v upon_o it_o as_o though_o it_o be_v old_a wyve_n fable_n and_o contrary_a look_v whatsoever_o he_o command_v not_o but_o be_v of_o our_o own_o imagination_n this_o do_v we_o require_v to_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o this_o will_v we_o have_v observe_v for_o a_o everla_a law_n but_o this_o can_v never_o be_v allow_v of_o god._n 1._o and_o hereof_o spring_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o great_a offence_n as_o paul_n say_v after_o that_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o world_n know_v not_o god_n by_o wisdom_n it_o please_v god_n to_o save_v they_o that_o believe_v by_o foolishness_n of_o preaching_n what_o may_v

seem_v provable_a to_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o child_n be_v wash_v with_o a_o little_a water_n that_o thereby_o he_o be_v purge_v from_o his_o sin_n and_o translate_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o deed_n it_o may_v stand_v well_o with_o reason_n that_o sin_n shall_v be_v wash_v away_o with_o water_n if_o sin_n be_v a_o spote_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o sin_n be_v fasten_v in_o the_o mind_n bone_n and_o in_o the_o inermost_a part_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o reason_v that_o water_n shall_v pierce_v so_o far_o and_o wash_v it_o away_o but_o now_o consider_v well_o circumcision_n reason_n may_v not_o abraham_n by_o like_a reason_n allege_v for_o himself_o to_o refuse_v it_o what_o do_v this_o profit_n i_o to_o salvation_n that_o i_o be_o circumcise_a in_o my_o age_n what_o good_a do_v this_o to_o a_o child_n or_o what_o profit_n at_o all_o do_v a_o man_n take_v by_o circumcision_n if_o god_n will_v have_v the_o body_n change_v he_o may_v have_v make_v it_o so_o at_o the_o beginning_a that_o it_o shall_v need_v nothing_o to_o be_v cut_v from_o it_o if_o reason_n have_v be_v take_v to_o council_n at_o that_o time_n it_o will_v have_v say_v even_o so_o neither_o do_v it_o think_v any_o otherwise_o now_o a_o day_n when_o it_o prove_v her_o wisdom_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v in_o this_o place_n commandment_n that_o whensoever_o question_n be_v move_v why_o god_n shall_v geve_v such_o commandment_n the_o devil_n have_v the_o upper_a hand_n as_z the_o example_n of_o eve_n in_o paradise_n do_v show_v commandment_n be_v give_fw-ge that_o they_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n but_o when_o she_o begin_v to_o regard_v little_a the_o commandment_n and_o hard_o the_o

law_n she_o fall_v down_o headlong_o and_o be_v cast_v into_o such_o disobedience_n that_o all_o we_o unto_o this_o time_n suffer_v the_o blame_n and_o penalty_n thereof_o wherefore_o let_v this_o be_v a_o law_n for_o the_o congregation_n when_o god_n geve_v a_o commandment_n think_v it_o to_o be_v thy_o duty_n to_o honour_v it_o with_o all_o submission_n and_o make_v no_o further_o search_v if_o he_o command_n obey_v if_o he_o speak_v be_v attent_a and_o disallow_v nothing_o that_o he_o do_v for_o out_o of_o this_o most_o certain_a principle_n do_v god_n dirive_v and_o set_v all_o the_o other_o of_o his_o do_n that_o all_o man_n be_v fool_n liar_n and_o evyll_n and_o of_o so_o great_a madness_n that_o they_o never_o ought_v nor_o may_v be_v able_a to_o understande_v his_o word_n and_o his_o work_n as_o jeremie_n say_v lewd_a and_o unsearchable_a be_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n seinge_v therefore_o our_o leudnes_n and_o vice_n be_v so_o great_a we_o shall_v of_o our_o own_o accord_n correct_v our_o judgement_n and_o think_v this_o as_o to_o uching_n god_n work_n and_o commandment_n if_o this_o seem_v contrary_a to_o my_o reason_n trulye_o it_o be_v for_o no_o other_o cause_n than_o that_o i_o have_v such_o a_o corrupt_a understand_v and_o dull_a knowledge_n and_o nothing_o hinder_v i_o in_o judge_a god_n wisdom_n but_o my_o own_o natural_a foolishness_n wherefore_o circumcision_n be_v a_o example_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o singular_a obedience_n whereas_o abraham_n &_o his_o seruamte_n be_v nothing_o offend_v with_o this_o commandment_n but_o obey_v it_o without_o reason_v &_o think_v not_o thus_o that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n for_o they_o that_o be_v age_v this_o be_v peradventure_o god_n mean_v what_o if_o he_o think_v otherwise_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n shall_v be_v restrain_v &_o as_o a_o man_n will_v so_o cut_v of_o this_o be_v doubtless_o the_o true_a circumcision_n why_o shall_v god_n command_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v circumcise_v for_o what_o intent_n be_v that_o do_v but_o these_o man_n think_v not_o so_o but_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o commandment_n and_o this_o persuade_v themselves_o since_o god_n do_v require_v that_o seem_v this_o never_o so_o much_o against_o reason_n yet_o shall_v i_o be_v save_v because_o i_o obey_v his_o precepte_v wherefore_o this_o be_v a_o example_n of_o steadfast_a faith_n wherewith_o abraham_n and_o his_o servant_n be_v endue_v and_o it_o be_v put_v forth_o to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v follow_v they_o and_o not_o geve_v ourselves_o to_o our_o own_o wisdom_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v deceive_v and_o this_o have_v we_o speak_v as_o touch_v the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o jew_n day_n which_o have_v no_o long_a power_n than_o the_o law_n itself_o that_o be_v unto_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v signify_v in_o that_o yâ—_z child_n be_v circumcise_v upon_o the_o eight_o day_n for_o this_o order_n be_v in_o the_o law_n after_o six_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n and_o that_o day_n that_o follow_v the_o sabbath_n be_v the_o eight_o day_n even_o the_o

the_o world_n and_o hereof_o be_v that_o now_o the_o beginning_n wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v before_o we_o must_v put_v a_o great_a distance_n and_o difference_n between_o the_o circumcision_n of_o

but_o he_o will_v do_v nothing_o presumptuous_o after_o rigour_n but_o order_n himself_o humble_o after_o the_o equal_a trial_n of_o the_o law_n and_o all_o this_o be_v do_v for_o our_o sake_n that_o

it_o for_o our_o sake_n for_o we_o have_v need_n of_o such_o a_o man_n that_o be_v without_o sin_n and_o that_o shall_v fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o we_o and_o so_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o

true_a faith_n obtain_v by_o he_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n and_o damnation_n thereof_o wherefore_o remember_v well_o this_o difference_n for_o all_o the_o matter_n rest_v therein_o abraham_n be_v subject_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o circumcision_n because_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o the_o law_n have_v power_n on_o he_o for_o sin_n but_o christ_n be_v no_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o
