uncharitable_a as_o to_o deny_v this_o of_o those_o ancient_n ecclesiastical_a history_n tell_v we_o of_o but_o however_o let_v it_o be_v grant_v that_o this_o can_v be_v as_o it_o be_v indeed_o

that_o which_o may_v be_v very_o helpful_a to_o you_o for_o the_o understanding_n these_o and_o many_o other_o thing_n viz._n this_o the_o difference_n between_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a as_o a_o condition_n of_o a_o promise_n and_o that_o which_o be_v not_o a_o condition_n but_o be_v necessary_a upon_o some_o other_o account_n you_o may_v say_v of_o any_o performance_n that_o be_v not_o a_o condition_n of_o a_o promise_n that_o if_o he_o perform_v it_o not_o he_o will_v yet_o have_v right_a so_o he_o do_v but_o perform_v the_o condition_n though_o he_o can_v perform_v the_o

contradict_v himself_o that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v believe_v though_o he_o do_v resolve_v never_o to_o obey_v he_o must_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v though_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v he_o can_v believe_v without_o obey_v the_o apostle_n here_o have_v prove_v that_o circumcision_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v meritorious_a as_o the_o jew_n hold_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o condition_n necessary_a to_o justification_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v object_v here_o by_o the_o jew_n but_o why_o be_v not_o the_o believing-gentile_n then_o circumcise_v upon_o those_o other_o

to_o maintain_v that_o repentance_n or_o obedience_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o justification_n or_o right_n to_o heaven_n or_o that_o they_o be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o word_n faith_n may_v we_o not_o say_v of_o circumcision_n that_o it_o be_v as_o baptism_n be_v a_o seal_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n upon_o repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v it_o not_o a_o seal_n of_o this_o promise_n he_o
