lay_v the_o stress_n on_o the_o word_n commit_v as_o if_o it_o mean_v only_o commit_v with_o the_o outward_a fact_n and_o forbid_v nothing_o else_o and_o it_o be_v apparent_a the_o scribe_n and_o

and_o where_o they_o have_v not_o so_o yet_o they_o have_v some_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n but_o now_o they_o have_v none_o they_o have_v before_o some_o vacuity_n in_o they_o which_o be_v now_o

how_o this_o appear_v for_o none_o will_v sure_o say_v it_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o it_o do_v not_o require_v some_o thing_n the_o law_n now_o require_v as_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o that_o will_v no_o more_o prove_v the_o law_n imperfect_a then_o then_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v now_o imperfect_a in_o not_o require_v circumcision_n whereas_o the_o law_n do_v then_o as_o it_o do_v now_o require_v all_o to_o obey_v whatsoever_o he_o shall_v any_o way_n whatsoever_o command_v they_o and_o that_o under_o the_o penalty_n of_o future-death_n 5._o you_o may_v see_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o law_n not_o as_o refer_v to_o conscience_n and_o future-life_n but_o as_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n law_n do_v allow_v or_o indulge_v some_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o far_o as_o not_o to_o threaten_v violent_a death_n to_o they_o at_o all_o and_o so_o in_o this_o commonwealth_n sense_n do_v not_o forbid_v such_o practice_n at_o all_o which_o yet_o
