page_n 52._o yet_o no_o less_o than_o six_o time_n in_o his_o discourse_n of_o swear_v he_o inculcate_n this_o that_o oath_n be_v not_o evil_a in_o themselves_o which_o look_v as_o if_o he_o design_v

with_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n and_o by_o they_o hold_v sacred_a before_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n that_o be_v in_o short_a nothing_o that_o the_o patriarch_n do_v religious_o

let_v he_o prove_v it_o if_o he_o can_v he_o may_v find_v if_o he_o please_v that_o circumcision_n be_v of_o authentic_a use_n with_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n and_o by_o they_o hold_v sacred_a 21._o long_o before_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n and_o somewhat_o too_o before_o his_o first_o instance_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v he_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n 12.3_o what_o then_o will_v he_o think_v of_o the_o sacrifice_a of_o beast_n which_o be_v of_o authentic_a use_n with_o the_o holy_a

therefore_o no_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v be_v more_o considerate_a another_o touch_n yet_o he_o have_v at_o this_o in_o pag._n 68_o where_o he_o say_v the_o
