both_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o to_o the_o gentile_n and_o that_o when_o the_o gentile_n be_v call_v circumcision_n and_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n do_v of_o necessity_n cease_v for_o abraham_n say_v he_o be_v justify_v not_o in_o circumcision_n but_o before_o circumcision_n be_v name_v abraham_n because_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v the_o father_n of_o

wherefore_o if_o any_o body_n compel_v the_o gentile_n to_o be_v circumcise_a they_o must_v of_o necessity_n both_o take_v from_o he_o the_o name_n of_o abraham_n and_o call_v he_o abram_n now_o see_v he_o be_v name_v abraham_n by_o god_n the_o gentile_n must_v not_o be_v circumcise_v neither_o must_v the_o jew_n have_v the_o foreskin_n of_o their_o flesh_n cut_v of_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o name_n abraham_n may_v abide_v steadfast_a and_o he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bear_v with_o hereafter_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v circumcise_v see_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n suffice_v and_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n for_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o such_o thing_n but_o by_o faith_n as_o abraham_n be_v when_o he_o have_v prove_v these_o thing_n after_o this_o fashion_n he_o show_v again_o that_o neither_o israel_n nor_o the_o gentile_n can_v obtain_v redemption_n and_o grace_n by_o any_o other_o mean_n than_o by_o be_v quit_v of_o that_o ancient_a and_o original_a sin_n that_o be_v spread_v into_o all_o man_n by_o adam_n but_o that_o can_v not_o be_v wipe_v away_o

that_o trespass_n afterward_o he_o write_v that_o that_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n than_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v flesh_n upon_o he_o and_o become_v man_n that_o
