that_o child_n shall_v be_v initiate_v into_o the_o christian_a as_o well_o as_o into_o the_o jewish_a religion_n beside_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v leave_v child_n out_o of_o the_o covenant_n and_o not_o receive_v they_o as_o member_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v certain_a the_o jew_n who_o take_v such_o care_n to_o circumcise_v they_o will_v have_v make_v this_o a_o great_a objection_n to_o
