whether_o when_o he_o deliver_v the_o ten_o commandment_n he_o intend_v only_o the_o jew_n and_o not_o all_o that_o shall_v be_v convert_v hereafter_o it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n of_o israel_n

to_o receive_v it_o as_o well_o as_o jew_n so_o that_o we_o must_v conceive_v of_o moses_n as_o receive_v the_o moral_a law_n for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n perpetual_o but_o the_o other_o law_n in_o

as_o for_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o this_o may_v be_v the_o more_o clear_v to_o you_o you_o may_v consider_v the_o moral_a law_n to_o bind_v two_o way_n 1._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o so_o whatsoever_o in_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v oblige_v all_o and_o thus_o as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n it_o do_v bind_v the_o jew_n before_o the_o promulgation_n of_o it_o upon_o mount_n it_o sinai_n 2._o or_o you_o may_v consider_v it_o second_o to_o bind_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o preceptive_a authority_n and_o command_v which_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o for_o when_o a_o law_n be_v promulge_v by_o a_o messenger_n than_o there_o come_v a_o new_a obligation_n upon_o it_o and_o therefore_o moses_n a_o minister_n and_o argument_n servant_n of_o god_n deliver_v this_o law_n to_o they_o do_v bring_v a_o obligation_n upon_o the_o people_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o obligation_n be_v temporary_a or_o perpetual_a i_o incline_v to_o that_o opinion_n which_o pareus_n also_o do_v that_o it_o be_v perpetual_a and_o so_o do_v bellarmine_n and_o vasquez_n 3_o howsoever_o rivet_n seem_v to_o make_v no_o great_a matter_n in_o this_o question_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o hold_v the_o law_n oblige_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n though_o we_o deny_v it_o bind_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o promulgation_n of_o it_o by_o moses_n howsoever_o i_o say_v he_o

antinomian_a in_o their_o former_a expression_n and_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o understand_v how_o those_o orthodox_n divine_v differ_v from_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o can_v be_v make_v good_a without_o any_o force_n or_o constrain_a the_o scripture_n that_o god_n when_o he_o give_v the_o ten_o commandment_n for_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n only_o by_o moses_n do_v intend_v a_o

argument_n for_o the_o affirmative_a you_o must_v still_o remember_v in_o what_o sense_n the_o question_n be_v state_v and_o that_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o moses_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o bring_v this_o argument_n which_o much_o 1._o prevail_v with_o i_o if_o so_o be_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n as_o give_v by_o moses_n have_v still_o oblige_v christian_n though_o there_o can_v be_v no_o obligation_n from_o the_o matter_n have_v it_o not_o be_v revoke_v and_o abolish_v then_o the_o moral_a law_n give_v by_o moses_n must_v still_o oblige_v though_o it_o do_v not_o bind_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n unless_o we_o can_v show_v where_o it_o be_v repeal_v for_o the_o further_a clear_v of_o this_o you_o may_v consider_v that_o this_o be_v the_o great_a question_n which_o do_v so_o much_o trouble_v the_o church_n in_o her_o infancy_n whether_o gentile_n convert_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n whether_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o circumcise_v and_o to_o use_v all_o those_o legal_a purification_n now_o how_o be_v these_o question_n decide_v but_o thus_o that_o they_o be_v but_o the_o shadow_n and_o christ_n the_o fullness_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o cease_v and_o thus_o for_o the_o judicial_a law_n because_o they_o be_v give_v to_o they_o as_o a_o politic_a body_n that_o polity_n cease_v which_o be_v the_o principal_a the_o accessary_a fall_n with_o it_o so_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o have_v still_o bind_v christian_n be_v there_o not_o special_a revocation_n of_o these_o command_n and_o be_v there_o not_o reason_n for_o their_o expiration_n from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o they_o now_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v affirm_v by_o the_o moral_a law_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o that_o be_v perpetual_a and_o there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o do_v abrogate_v it_o and_o if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o some_o place_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n seem_v to_o take_v in_o moral_a as_o well_o as_o ceremonial_a i_o answer_v it_o thus_o the_o question_n which_o be_v first_o start_v up_o and_o trouble_v the_o church_n be_v mere_o about_o ceremony_n as_o appear_v act_n 15._o and_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o by_o the_o usage_n of_o this_o ceremonial_a worship_n they_o be_v justify_v either_o whole_o exclude_v christ_n or_o join_v he_o together_o with_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n now_o it_o be_v true_a the_o apostle_n in_o demolish_n this_o error_n do_v ex_fw-la abundanti_fw-la show_n that_o not_o only_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o neither_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n do_v justify_v but_o that_o benefit_n we_o have_v by_o christ_n only_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o bring_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n in_o the_o dispute_n they_o do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o justification_n not_o obligation_n for_o the_o main_a question_n be_v whether_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n do_v still_o oblige_v and_o their_o additional_a error_n be_v that_o if_o it_o do_v oblige_v we_o shall_v still_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o act_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o join_v the_o moral_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o the_o issue_n of_o obligation_n for_o though_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v hold_v they_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o they_o yet_o they_o may_v not_o have_v practise_v they_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o justification_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o argument_n the_o second_o
