6 Learn therefore, children of love, concerning all things abundantly, that Abraham, who first appointed circumcision, looked forward in the spirit unto Jesus, when he circumcised having received the ordinances of three letters. (BRN) 7 For the scripture saith; And Abraham circumcised of his household eighteen males and three hundred. What then was the knowledge given unto him?

And because the cross in the 'T' was to have grace, He saith also three hundred . So He revealeth Jesus in the two letters, and in the remaining one the cross. (BRN)
