Ep. Are these wor•es spoken as well to us as to the people of Israel?
Ep. Are these wor•es spokē as wel to vs as to ye peo•le of Israel?
Phi. Ye to us. Of a truth,1 saith blessed Peter, I perceive that there is no respect of persons […] God, but in all people, he that fea•eth him, & worketh righteousness •s accepted with him. Is he the God of •he Jews only?2 Is he not also the God of the gentiles? yea even of the •entiles also, saith blessed Paul. For it is God only,3 which justifieth the circumcision that is of faith, & uncircumcision through faith. •or he is not a Jew which is a •ew outward, nether is it circū ••siō, which is outward in the flesh. •ut he is a Jew, which is hid with ••, and the circumcision of the heart […] true circumcision, which consi•eth in the spirit, and not in the ••ter, whose praise is not of men, ⟨p. 96⟩but of God. There is no difference between the Jew and the gentle.
