Now circumcision was an external mark, by which God's people were known in distinction from other nations; just as we see that every prince gives his people and army his standard and watchword, by which they are known among themselves and by which foreigners can tell, to what lord they belong.

powerful motives prevent them. Thus, one will never know well
the person one is dealing with. — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Pennock
