two_o part_n of_o this_o law_n the_o law_n proper_o so_o call_v and_o the_o gospel_n i_o do_v not_o here_o understand_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n in_o that_o sense_n as_o for_o the_o most_o

both_o these_o law_n all_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o new_a law_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o contain_v moral_a institution_n be_v cry_v down_o by_o the_o antinomian_o the_o anabaptist_n and_o enthusiast_n and_o other_o prodigious_a name_n of_o a_o generation_n of_o people_n of_o our_o age_n as_o altogether_o unprofitable_a and_o unworthy_a of_o the_o

the_o apostle_n james_n have_v long_o since_o so_o oppose_v the_o monster_n of_o such_o error_n as_o if_o by_o some_o prophetic_a spirit_n he_o have_v on_o purpose_n undertake_v the_o confutation_n of_o they_o xxviii_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v call_v the_o moysaicall_a law_n be_v distinguish_v into_o three_o part_n the_o moral_a the_o ceremonial_a and_o the_o judicial_a of_o every_o one_o whereof_o many_o thing_n be_v diverse_o dispute_v by_o many_o man_n i_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n pass_v they_o by_o and_o brief_o propound_v unto_o you_o what_o i_o conceive_v of_o the_o obligation_n of_o they_o reserve_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o every_o man_n his_o own_o judgement_n i_o say_v therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o no_o law_n at_o all_o deliver_v by_o

law_n as_o moysaicall_a be_v positive_a and_o a_o law_n positive_a do_v oblige_v none_o but_o those_o only_o on_o who_o it_o be_v impose_v see_v therefore_o that_o the_o law_n deliver_v by_o moses_n be_v only_o impose_v on_o the_o peculiar_a nation_n of_o the_o hebrew_n as_o may_v easy_o appear_v to_o any_o man_n that_o will_v observe_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o hear_v israel_n and_o the_o

because_o deliver_v by_o moses_n but_o if_o any_o part_n of_o that_o law_n do_v now_o oblige_v christian_n as_o certain_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o decalogue_n be_v oblige_v it_o come_v to_o

either_o agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o confirm_v in_o the_o new_a law_n by_o christ_n himself_o xxix_o i_o say_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o moses_n do_v oblige_v the_o jew_n in_o their_o conscience_n before_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o but_o not_o other_o man_n unless_o those_o only_a who_o be_v

be_v to_o say_v proselyte_n of_o the_o gate_n and_o proselyte_n of_o righteousness_n be_v oblige_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o ritual_a precept_n those_o of_o the_o former_a kind_n be_v oblige_v to_o the_o few_o but_o those_o of_o the_o latter_a as_o the_o jew_n themselves_o be_v oblige_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o they_o all_o now_o from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n since_o the_o gospel_n begin_v first_o to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o afterward_o to_o the_o gentile_n until_o the_o eversion_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n this_o law_n indeed_o be_v dead_a if_o we_o love_v to_o speak_v after_o st._n augustine_n but_o not_o deadly_a which_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o have_v lose_v the_o force_n of_o oblige_v but_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n deliver_v by_o moses_n be_v not_o altogether_o unlawful_a but_o leave_v as_o indifferent_a to_o the_o observation_n of_o every_o man_n so_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o one_o according_a to_o the_o emergency_n of_o the_o occasion_n to_o use_v the_o freedom_n of_o his_o own_o will_n and_o to_o use_v they_o or_o not_o to_o use_v they_o a_o due_a respect_n be_v always_o have_v to_o prudence_n and_o charity_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v so_o manifest_a both_o by_o his_o constant_a doctrine_n and_o his_o practice_n that_o there_o need_v no_o proof_n of_o it_o and_o after_o the_o eversion_n of_o the_o temple_n it_o be_v speak_v by_o diverse_a man_n that_o this_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v not_o only_o dead_a but_o mortiferous_a which_o unless_o it_o be_v right_o apply_v and_o with_o a_o prepare_a distinction_n i_o be_o afraid_a will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v more_o witty_o than_o solid_o express_v for_o all_o ceremony_n be_v not_o alike_o to_o be_v esteem_v but_o those_o which_o concern_v order_n and_o decency_n be_v wise_o to_o be_v sever_v from_o those_o which_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v for_o those_o figurative_a ceremony_n which_o be_v institute_v by_o god_n to_o be_v type_n of_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n to_o come_v in_o

therefore_o to_o be_v take_v away_o not_o only_o as_o dead_a and_o rot_a but_o be_v most_o careful_o to_o be_v shun_v by_o every_o true_a christian_a as_o deadly_a and_o pestiferous_a and_o above_o
