The morals are lawes a Exod. 20.1 Deut. 5.6 concerning the maners and duties of euery man towards God and towardes his neighbour VI. The morall lawes a Ibid. are dispersed in all the bookes of Moses but in the Decalogue they are summarily collected VII The Decalogue is diuided into two a Exo. 24.12 and 31.18 32.16 34.1 Tables of the which two the first containeth foure preceptes concerning our duties to God or concerning the b Mat. 22.37 Deut. 6.5 loue of God the second Table conteineth sixe preceptes concerning our duties to our neighbour or how c Ibid. 39.
