THE FOURTH VOLUME.

SERMON I.

THE CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART.

ROMANS, ii. 28, 29. For he is not a Jew, which

is one outwardly; neither is that Circumcision,

which is outward in the Flesh : but he is a Jew,

which is one inwardly; and Circumcision is that

of the Heart, in the Spirit and not in the Letter,

whose Praise is not of Men, but of God.
