they_o yet_o exstant_fw-la but_o both_o of_o they_o agree_v on_o this_o that_o as_o well_o to_o jew_n as_o gentile_a all_o religious_a use_n of_o circumcision_n for_o ceremony_n etc._n etc._n be_v now_o after_o due_a publication_n of_o the_o gospel_n unlawful_a or_o deadly_a all_o that_o have_v write_v since_o agree_v about_o the_o same_o truth_n except_o caietan_n in_o one_o place_n who_o be_v forsake_v &_o oppose_v therein_o by_o all_o papist_n the_o jesuite_n themselves_o not_o except_v our_o divine_n be_v so_o confident_a of_o this_o that_o from_o the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o

their_o answer_n that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o absolute_o abrogate_a but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o special_a manner_n end_n &_o intention_n greg._n

first_o the_o only_a place_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o which_o all_o divine_n as_o the_o rejoynder_n speak_v pag._n 75._o prove_v a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n to_o constitute_v ceremony_n

a_o principal_a cornerstone_n of_o that_o partition-wall_n howsoever_o it_o be_v interpret_v so_o it_o be_v appoint_v ergo._n 8._o three_o circumcision_n can_v be_v esteem_v more_o lawful_a to_o be_v

especial_o unto_o blood_n but_o appoint_v of_o circumcision_n be_v usurp_v of_o authority_n over_o man_n body_n to_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n ergo._n add_v unto_o this_o that_o the_o

these_o thing_n consider_v i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a man_n but_o will_v soon_o reject_v our_o ceremony_n for_o bring_v such_o a_o foul_a tail_n after_o they_o as_o that_o our_o
