For these wemen are two testamentes the one fro the mounte Sina which gendreth vnto bondage which is Agar. 25 For mounte Sina is called Agar in Arabia and bordreth vpo the citie which is now Ierusalem and is in bondage with her chyldren. 26 But Ierusalem which is above is fre: which is the mother of vs all. 27 For it is written: reioyce thou bare that bearest no chyldre: breake forthe and crye thou that travelest not. For the desolate hath many moo chyldren then she which hath an husband. 28 Brethre we are after the maner of Isaac chyldren of promes. 29 But as then he yt was borne carnally persecuted him that was borne spiritually. Even so is it now. 30 Neverthelesse what sayth the scripture: put awaye the bonde woman and her sonne. For the sonne of the bonde woma shall not be heyre with the sonne of ye fre woman. 31 So then brethren we are not chyldre of the bonde woman: but of the fre woman.
