1 Corinthians7:19

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing , but the keeping the commandments of God .

Circumcision was an Ordinance of God, a sign of Gods Covenant, as necessary to Salvation in its time, as the fulfilling of any precept of the Law contained in Ordinances: and Uncircumcision also was something; for by the Law relating to that Ordinance, the uncircumcised male is determined to have broken Gods Covenant, and determined to a cutting off, Gen. 17.10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

But in the present state of the Church, Circumcision wa[illegible: 1 letter] of no value or moment in the business of Salvation: Gal 5.6. In Christ Iesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but [illegible: 1 letter]aith which worketh by love.

Marginal references: Gal. 6.15.
