good_a doctrine_n before_o christ_n which_o these_o false_a apostle_n teach_v viz._n that_o except_o they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o keep_v the_o law_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v i_o mea●_n as_o

1._o for_o that_o be_v dispute_v all_o willing_a receive_n of_o circumcision_n as_o the_o habassi●e_a christian_n do_v but_o the_o willing_a subject_n to_o circumcision_n according_a to_o the_o
