be_v a_o sign_n of_o holiness_n and_o not_o of_o canaan_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o land_n what_o need_n have_v they_o to_o circumcise_v any_o more_o

therefore_o so_o though_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o circumcision_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o faith_n and_o it_o be_v no_o lie_v sign_n shall_v any_o say_v that_o child_n have_v or_o have_v not_o
