execute_v those_o office_n of_o the_o court_n the_o woman_n likewise_o by_o the_o commandment_n and_o decree_n of_o the_o same_o maqueda_n be_v circumcise_v she_o be_v induce_v thereunto_o by_o this_o

eight_o day_n and_o after_o circumcision_n the_o man_n child_n be_v baptize_v upon_o the_o forty_o day_n and_o the_o woman_n child_n upon_o the_o eighteeth_n day_n unless_o any_o sickness_n or_o

and_o that_o very_o same_o day_n wherein_o child_n be_v baptize_v they_o receive_v the_o bless_a body_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o a_o little_a form_n of_o bread_n we_o receive_v baptism_n almost_o before_o all_o other_o christian_n from_o the_o eunuch_n of_o candace_n queen_n of_o aethiopia_n who_o name_n be_v indich_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o together_o with_o circumcision_n which_o we_o have_v at_o that_o time_n as_o before_o be_v say_v we_o observe_v most_o holy_o and_o christian_n like_a and_o by_o god_n assistance_n ever_o shall_v observe_v nor_o do_v we_o observe_v or_o admit_v of_o any_o thing_n but_o of_o those_o only_o which_o be_v express_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o if_o we_o receive_v any_o thing_n beside_o those_o they_o be_v only_o observe_v for_o the_o time_n for_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o appertain_v to_o the_o government_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o without_o any_o bond_n of_o sin_n wherefore_o our_o circumcision_n be_v not_o unclean_a but_o the_o law_n and_o grace_n be_v give_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n which_o he_o receive_v of_o god_n as_o a_o sign_n not_o that_o either_o he_o or_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v save_v through_o circumcision_n but_o that_o the_o

that_o be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v circumcise_v in_o our_o heart_n neither_o do_v we_o boast_v of_o circumcision_n nor_o therefore_o think_v ourselves_o more_o noble_a than_o other_o christian_n nor_o

because_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n nor_o the_o cut_n off_o the_o foreskinne_n prevale_v but_o the_o new_a creature_n but_o paul_n preach_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o establish_v it_o who_o be_v also_o baptize_v and_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o benjamin_n he_o also_o circumcise_v tymothy_n who_o be_v become_v a_o christian_n his_o mother_n be_v a_o hebrew_n and_o his_o father_n a_o gentile_a know_v that_o god_n do_v justify_v circumcision_n by_o faith_n and_o the_o foreskin_n by_o faith_n and_o as_o he_o himself_o be_v make_v all_o to_o all_o that_o he_o may_v save_v all_o to_o the_o jew_n he_o be_v as_o a_o jew_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v win_v the_o jew_n and_o to_o those_o which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n he_o be_v as_o one_o under_o the_o law_n although_o he_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v gain_v those_o which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o to_o those_o which_o be_v without_o the_o law_n he_o be_v as_o one_o without_o the_o law_n although_o he_o be_v not_o without_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o under_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v get_v those_o which_o be_v without_o the_o law_n and_o he_o become_v weak_a that_o he_o may_v gain_v those_o which_o be_v weak_a which_o he_o do_v to_o show_v that_o we_o be_v save_v not_o by_o circumcision_n but_o by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o preach_v to_o the_o hebrew_n he_o speak_v unto_o they_o in_o diverse_a speech_n like_o a_o hebrew_n say_v god_n heretofore_o speak_v many_o way_n and_o in_o many_o manner_n to_o our_o father_n in_o the_o prophet_n show_v unto_o they_o out_o of_o the_o same_o prophet_n that_o christ_n be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n after_o the_o flesh_n moreover_o he_o preach_v unto_o they_o that_o christ_n be_v with_o our_o father_n in_o the_o tent_n in_o the_o desert_n and_o that_o he_o lead_v they_o into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o josua_n and_o paul_n also_o testify_v in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o chief_a of_o priest_n and_o that_o he_o enter_v into_o a_o new_a tent_n which_o be_v the_o sanctum_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la the_o holy_a of_o holies_n and_o that_o with_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n he_o abolish_v the_o blood_n of_o goat_n and_o bull_n whereby_o none_o that_o kill_v they_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o so_o he_o speak_v sundry_a way_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o also_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v worship_v of_o his_o people_n by_o many_o ceremony_n in_o a_o holy_a and_o uncorrupted_a faith_n moreover_o those_o child_n with_o we_o be_v account_v half_a christian_n which_o here_o i_o understand_v in_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v call_v pagan_n who_o because_o they_o die_v without_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v

christ_n by_o which_o three_o testimony_n all_o christian_n be_v so_o repute_v because_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o give_v testimony_n in_o earth_n the_o spirit_n water_n and_o blood_n as_o

the_o unbelieve_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o believe_a husband_n otherwise_o your_o child_n shall_v be_v unclean_a but_o now_o they_o be_v sanctify_v which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o
