of uncircumcised lips] Circumcision was the seale of Gods Covenant with his people, and so an honourable badge; though on a dishonourable part: and it noted the cutting off of the corruption of nature, especially in naturall generation: but the circumcision of the lips, (which in a literall sense would be a great affliction, and deformitie,) in a figurative meaning importeth, that which is commendable, and free from fault: so were not Moses lips. See Annot. chap. 4. 10.
