TEll me (ye that desire to be vnder the law) do ye not heare of the law? for it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes: the one by a bond∣maide, the other by a free woman. Yea, & he which was borne of the bondwoman, was borne after the flesh: but he which was borne of the free woman, was borne by promise. Which thinges are spoken by an allegorie: for these are two testaments, the one from the mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage,
which is Agar: for mount Sina is Agar in Arabia, and bor∣dereth vpon the citie which is now called Hierusalem, and is in bondage with her children. But Hierusalem which is a∣boue, is free, which is the mother of vs all. For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children, breake foorth and crie thou that trauellest not: for the desolate hath many moe children, then shee which hath an husband.
Brethren, we are after Isahac the children of promise. But as then he that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the spirit: euen so is it now. Neuerthelesse, what saith the Scripture? Put away the bondwoman and her sonne: for the sonne of the bondwoman shall not be heire with the sonne of the freewoman. So then brethren, wee are not children of the bondwoman, but of the freewoman.
Gal 4.21.
