[24]
The Jew may worship his pig-god and clamour in the
ears of high heaven, but unless he also cuts back his foreskin with the knife, he
shall go forth from the holy city cast forth from the people, and transgress the
sabbath by breaking the law of fasting.
Petronius Arbiter. Petronius. Michael Heseltine. London. William Heinemann. 1913.
