CHAP. XII. Fourteen Arguments, to prove that scandalous and presumptuous Offenders against the morall Law (though circumcised and not being legally uncleane) were excluded from the Passeover.
There is so much weight laid, both by Erastus himself, and by Master Prynne, upon the universal Law commanding all that were circumcised to eat the Passover, except such as were legally unclean, or were in a journey: that I am resolved, once for all, to demonstrate against them, that men were excluded from the Passover, for scandalous and enormous Trespasses against the moral Law, as well as for legal uncleanness. Peradventure it will seem to some, that I undertake to prove a paradox, and to walk in an untrodden or obscure Path. Yet my Arguments are such, as I trust shall weigh much with intelligent men.
