that_o of_o circumcision_n be_v to_o diversify_v they_o from_o their_o neighbour_a idolater_n by_o contrary_a rite_n and_o observance_n and_o hence_o the_o mosaic_a law_n be_v call_v by_o the_o

gentile_n or_o gentile_a proselyte_n of_o the_o gate_n who_o because_o they_o be_v not_o circumcise_v be_v count_v unclean_a and_o upon_o that_o account_n divide_v from_o the_o circumcise_a by_o a_o wall_n of_o stone_n of_o three_o cubit_n high_a and_o a_o little_a after_o ver_fw-la 15._o he_o call_v this_o law_n the_o enmity_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n because_o one_o great_a design_n of_o it_o be_v to_o divide_v and_o separate_v the_o jew_n from_o the_o gentile_n and_o thereby_o to_o secure_v they_o from_o revolt_a from_o the_o new_a covenant_n by_o mingle_v and_o confound_v themselves_o with_o idolater_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o new_a covenant_n become_v in_o a_o manner_n appropriate_v to_o israel_n none_o be_v allow_v admission_n into_o it_o but_o only_o such_o as_o free_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o distinguish_a law_n of_o that_o communion_n by_o which_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o all_o other_o nation_n hence_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o to_o they_o pertain_v the_o covenant_n rom._n 9.4_o i_o e._n the_o new_a covenant_n itself_o together_o with_o circumcision_n the_o seal_n of_o it_o which_o be_v also_o call_v a_o covenant_n
