Theophilus. And I believe the contrary. For I can prove my reason by the Scripture, the which thou canst not do thine. If it were so then as y• sayest, it should follow y• god was not well advised, when he made that ordinance, and that the Israelites should be wiser by right: and that he should do great wrong unto them, sith that he hath not advertised them of that doing, and that he gave none exception. It followeth in like manner. if the circumcision had been so necessary unto salvation, that all the women children and women should perish, sith that they dyed all without circumcision: the which yet nevertheless no man dareth to affirm, sith that there hath been so many holy women, of whom the holy Scripture beareth us witness.
