some_o other_o who_o live_v in_o abraham_n day_n as_o melchisedeck_v and_o lot_n etc._n etc._n arg._n 3._o because_o some_o of_o abraham_n natural_a seed_n to_o who_o circumcision_n do_v belong_v be_v

give_v right_a to_o circumcision_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o give_v right_a to_o gospel_n baptism_n 2._o it_o also_o appear_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o the_o adequate_a reason_n of_o circumcision_n but_o the_o mere_a positive_a command_n of_o god_n to_o abraham_n so_o that_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v the_o child_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o will_v nevertheless_o be_v no_o argument_n to_o baptise_v they_o unless_o they_o have_v a_o command_n or_o ground_n from_o christ_n so_o to_o do_v for_o the_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o
