610. To show that the true Jews and the true Christians have but the same
religion.--The religion of the Jews seemed to consist essentially in the
fatherhood of Abraham, in circumcision, in sacrifices, in ceremonies, in the

covenant with Moses.

I say that it consisted in none of those things, but only in the love of
