Again,1 Circumcision is called the Covenant, and yet Circumcision was nothing but the cutting away of a skin: but the Covenant is,2 In Abraham's seed all Nations shall be blessed, I will be their God, and they shall be my people, I will defend and save them, & they shall serve and worship me. This is not Circumcision, and yet as though circumcision were the covenant it self, it is called the covenant ⟨p. 97⟩because it signifieth the Covenant: so bread and wine are called Christs body, because they signify Christs body.
Againe,1 Circumcision is called the Couenant, and yet Circumcision was nothing but the cutting away of a skinne: but the Couenant is,2 In Abrahams seede all Nations shall be blessed, I will be their God, and they shall be my people, I will defend and saue them, & they shall serue and worship me. This is not Circumcision, and yet as though circumcision were the couenant it selfe, it is called the couenant ⟨p. 97⟩because it signifieth the Couenant: so bread and wine are called Christes bodie, because they signifie Christs bodie.
