Quotation Femore enim posteritas seminis designatur. Vnde et Abraham, ne posteritas eius alienigenis misceretur, inter se seruumque suum tertium testimonium femur adhibuit, de quo apostolus tamquam mortuo fratri semen suscitans ait: In Christo enim Iesu per euangelium ego uos genui.
Translation For by the thigh is designated the posterity of seed. Therefore Abraham also, in order that his posterity might not be mixed with Aliens, made use of his thigh for a third testimony between himself and his servant. And of this also the Apostle, as it were raising up seed to a brother who has died, says, 'In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel'. (Trans. E.
