We must now consider Christ's circumcision. And since the
circumcision is a kind of profession of observing the Law, according
to Gal. 5:3: "I testify . . . to every man circumcising
himself that he is a debtor to do the whole Law," we shall have at
the same time to inquire about the other legal observances accomplished
in regard to the Child Christ. Therefore there are four points of
inquiry:
(1) His circumcision;
(2) The imposition of His name;
(3) His presentation;
(4) His Mother's purification.
