v_o 3._o thus_o of_o the_o reason_n the_o answer_n of_o objection_n follow_v ob._n 1._o why_o do_v the_o apostle_n urge_v we_o so_o large_o with_o this_o exhortation_n sol._n this_o i_o say_v lest_o any_o beguile_v you_o with_o entice_a word_n ob._n 2._o but_o how_o do_v he_o know_v our_o estate_n be_v absent_a sol._n to_o this_o he_o answer_v that_o though_o he_o be_v absent_a in_o the_o flesh_n

in_o the_o new_a testament_n because_o we_o have_v baptism_n in_o steed_n of_o circumcision_n with_o hand_n we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n ob._n but_o be_v not_o circumcision_n a_o
