Concerning Circumcision.
4. Because the Def. for an example of a Jewish rite, lawful for Christians to use, named Circumcision, the Repl. concluded, that belike, he holdeth Circumcision, as it is used under Prester John, to be lawful.
4. Because the Def. for an example of a Iewish rite, lawfull for Christians to use, named Circumcision, the Repl. concluded, that belike, he houldeth Circumcision, as it is used under Prester Iohn, to be lawfull.
The Rej. therefore resolveth us, that He doth so: and also challengeth the Repl. for saying nothing to disprove him. Upon this provocation, it is necessary to say some-thing against these patrons of Circumcision. Where it is to be marked, that the question is of Ecclesiastical Ceremonies devised by man for signification of moral duties; whether it be lawful, for a Church representative, (such as our Convocation) to appoint, and urge Circumcision, in this kind, and to this purpose, upon those Christians who are under their power?
