Mace(i)
10 and ye are filled by him, who is the chief of all principality and power:
11 by whom also ye have obtain'd the true spiritual circumcision, not effected by men, when you were by a christian circumcision divested of all your carnal affections,
12 which were buried (as Christ was) in your baptism, by virtue of which you rise (as he did) to a new life, through a belief of that divine power, which raised him from the dead.
13 Even you, who were in a dying sinful state, and were uncircumcised Gentiles, has God raised to life, as he did Christ, having pardoned all your sins:
14 and cancell'd the obligation of the ceremonial law, which was disadvantageous to us, removing that which divided us, and nailing it to the cross.
15 and having divested principalitys and powers, he made them an example of obedience, and caus'd them to triumph in Christ.
16 Let no man therefore condemn you for meats or drinks, or in respect of feasts, or new moons, or sabbaths:
17 for these were only the shadows of future things, prefiguring Christ, who is the substance.
