forbid_v the_o sin_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o duty_n command_v as_o for_o example_n the_o three_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o vain_a it_o imply_v a_o command_n reverent_o to_o use_v his_o name_n so_o to_o remember_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o satbbath_n day_n imply_v a_o prohibition_n of_o profane_v it_o in_o which_o sense_n all_o the_o commandment_n may_v in_o some_o respect_n be_v call_v negative_a and_o so_o a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n be_v negative_o express_v thou_o shall_v d●no_v work_n or_o affirmative_a in_o which_o respect_n christ_n comprehend_v all_o the_o negative_n under_o these_o two_o great_a affirmative_a commandment_n of_o love_n to_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n for_o every_o commandment_n do_v both_o enjoin_v and_o forbid_v the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o promise_n and_o threaten_n there_o be_v in_o every_o promise_n a_o threaten_a and_o in_o every_o threaten_a a_o promise_n conditional_o employ_v and_o this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n why_o some_o commandment_n be_v negative_o express_v some_o positive_o to_o show_v we_o that_o both_o be_v compredend_v 2._o though_o the_o positive_a commandment_n or_o the_o positive_a part_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v of_o alike_o force_n and_o authority_n with_o the_o negative_a as_o to_o the_o obligation_n it_o lay_v on_o we_o to_o duty_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o tie_v we_o to_o all_o occasion_n and_o time_n as_o negative_n do_v hence_o be_v that_o common_a maxim_n that_o affirmative_a command_n tie_v and_o oblige_v semper_fw-la ever_o that_o be_v they_o never_o want_v their_o authority_n and_o we_o be_v never_o absolve_v from_o their_o obedience_n but_o they_o do_v not_o oblige_v and_o tie_v ad_fw-la semper_fw-la that_o be_v in_o all_o difference_n of_o time_n we_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o duty_n enjoin_v negative_n again_o oblige_v both_o somper_n and_o ad_fw-la semper_fw-la that_o be_v always_o and_o in_o all_o difference_n of_o time_n for_o instance_n in_o the_o three_o commandment_n the_o affirmative_a part_n be_v to_o use_v the_o lord_n name_v and_o ordinance_n holy_o and_o reverent_o in_o prayer_n read_v and_o hear_v etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n we_o be_v require_v to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n by_o wait_a on_o

neither_o act_v love_n nor_o sear_v again_o the_o negative_a part_n be_v not_o to_o profane_v the_o lord_n name_v in_o his_o ordinance_n this_o may_v not_o be_v do_v at_o any_o time_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n be_v this_o because_o in_o affirmative_n we_o be_v not_o always_o tie_v to_o the_o act_n of_o duty_n and_o grace_n but_o to_o the_o disposition_n and_o habit._n habit_n be_v

they_o shall_v be_v call_v for_o but_o in_o sinful_a thing_n we_o be_v prohibit_v not_o only_o the_o habit_n but_o the_o act_n also_o the_o one_o be_v always_o and_o ever_o a_o sin_n but_o the_o

it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a to_o be_v particular_a in_o this_o yet_o we_o may_v try_v it_o by_o these_o general_n 1_o any_o affirmative_a precept_n bind_v to_o present_a practice_n when_o the_o
