jus_fw-la gladii_fw-la nor_o be_v there_o any_o law_n in_o the_o gospel_n which_o so_o much_o as_o mention_n much_o less_o prohibit_v the_o civil_a supreme_a magistrate_n to_o pardon_v condemn_v malefactor_n 2._o for_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v give_v by_o god_n himself_o for_o the_o good_a government_n of_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n now_o concern_v these_o law_n it_o be_v certain_a 1._o that_o they_o be_v give_v 12._o only_o to_o the_o jew_n as_o be_v confess_v and_o full_o 402._o prove_v by_o the_o schoolman_n and_o casuist_n 2._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o positive_a law_n divine_a or_o humane_a do_v or_o can_v bind_v any_o save_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v and_o sufficient_o promulgate_v and_o make_v know_v a_o sufficient_a promulgation_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o obligation_n of_o any_o positive_a law_n 3._o and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o those_o moysaicall_a law_n never_o bind_v the_o gentile_n before_o our_o bless_a saviour_n time_n much_o less_o christian_n since_o as_o will_n anon_o appear_v and_o therefore_o if_o that_o law_n in_o numb_a 35._o 31._o but_o now_o mention_v or_o any_o other_o moysaicall_a law_n have_v absolute_o forbid_v and_o make_v the_o pardon_v of_o murder_n unlawful_a to_o the_o jew_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o hence_o follow_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v by_o that_o law_n unlawful_a for_o gentile_n or_o christian_n to_o pardon_v it_o see_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o those_o moysaicall_a law_n be_v never_o give_v to_o nor_o any_o way_n oblige_v they_o for_o the_o transgression_n of_o any_o law_n do_v necessary_o presuppose_v its_o obligation_n it_o be_v impossible_a i_o shall_v transgress_v a_o law_n which_o never_o bind_v i_o to_o obedience_n 4._o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n cease_v even_o to_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o they_o be_v give_v at_o the_o death_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n they_o be_v type_n and_o shadow_n of_o his_o death_n and_o our_o redemption_n by_o he_o and_o when_o the_o substance_n and_o thing_n typify_v by_o they_o be_v come_v the_o shadow_n cease_v whence_o it_o be_v that_o divine_n both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a true_o say_v that_o at_o our_o bless_a saviour_n death_n the_o jewish_a ceremonial_a law_n be_v mortua_fw-la as_o to_o its_o obligation_n it_o be_v abrogate_a and_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o not_o necessary_a though_o for_o some_o time_n to_o gain_v the_o jew_n even_o the_o apostle_n do_v voluntary_o observe_v it_o but_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v more_o full_o publish_v it_o become_v mortifera_fw-la and_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o gospel_n 2._o 5._o for_o the_o judicial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o obligation_n of_o it_o cease_v at_o least_o at_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n when_o the_o jewish_a government_n and_o their_o commonwealth_n be_v utter_o destroy_v 6._o and_o hence_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o all_o those_o moysaicall_a law_n judicial_a and_o ceremonial_a have_v be_v abrogate_a and_o incumbent_a and_o have_v neither_o bind_v jew_n or_o gentile_n above_o this_o 1600_o year_n last_o pass_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v now_o bind_v any_o christian_a supreme_a power_n not_o to_o pardon_v any_o condemn_a malefactor_n and_o what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o judicial_a and_o ceremonial_a law_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n by_o moses_n that_o none_o of_o they_o ever_o do_v or_o can_v bind_v any_o gentile_n or_o christian_n the_o same_o we_o say_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o to_o punish_v or_o pardon_v murderer_n that_o it_o never_o prohibit_v supreme_a prince_n to_o reprieve_v or_o pardon_v any_o person_n condemn_v for_o murder_n that_o this_o may_v appear_v it_o must_v be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v two_o edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n both_o writ_n by_o the_o omnipotent_a and_o gracious_a author_n of_o it_o by_o god_n himself_o 1._o in_o the_o heart_n of_o adam_n where_o it_o be_v most_o entire_o and_o perfect_o write_v his_o understanding_n be_v clear_a and_o abundant_o able_a to_o know_v and_o distinguish_v good_a from_o evil_n quid_fw-la faciendum_fw-la quid_fw-la fugiendum_fw-la and_o his_o will_n obsequious_a to_o follow_v those_o dictate_v of_o right_a reason_n but_o by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n this_o write_n and_o perfect_a edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v much_o blot_v corrupt_a and_o deface_v both_o in_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n for_o although_o the_o substance_n of_o that_o law_n do_v after_o the_o fall_n continue_v write_v in_o their_o neart_n yet_o so_o deface_v by_o the_o fall_n that_o ignorance_n have_v blind_v the_o under_o stand_v it_o be_v in_o many_o place_n not_o legible_a nor_o sin_n have_v corrupt_v the_o will_n practicable_a 2._o the_o second_o edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o write_n of_o it_o which_o remain_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n after_o the_o fall_n be_v multo_fw-la auctior_fw-la &_o emendatior_fw-la and_o this_o edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v that_o which_o god_n by_o moses_n give_v only_o to_o his_o own_o church_n and_o people_n the_o jew_n in_o which_o he_o give_v they_o 1._o a_o just_a and_o perfect_a compendium_n of_o that_o whole_a law_n in_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n contain_v ten_o precept_n 2._o a_o full_a and_o more_o perfect_a explication_n of_o those_o precept_n and_o the_o particular_a duty_n require_v by_o they_o 3._o a_o addition_n of_o many_o gracious_a promise_n and_o blessing_n to_o those_o who_o sincere_o observe_v those_o law_n and_o many_o threat_n and_o punishment_n for_o those_o who_o transgress_v any_o of_o those_o law_n this_o edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n with_o the_o many_o promise_n and_o punishment_n annex_v be_v as_o i_o say_v give_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n not_o to_o the_o gentile_n and_o this_o appear_v by_o that_o memorable_a passage_n in_o st._n paul_n wherein_o he_o tell_v the_o roman_n in_o these_o word_n the_o gentile_n which_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v by_o nature_n 14_o these_o have_v not_o the_o law_n be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o which_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n in_o which_o word_n we_o have_v the_o two_o edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n afore_o mention_v express_o set_v down_o and_o that_o the_o gentile_n have_v only_o the_o first_o edition_n and_o that_o the_o second_o and_o more_o perfect_a edition_n be_v give_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1._o that_o the_o gentile_n have_v not_o the_o law_n to_o wit_n as_o it_o be_v lex_fw-la scripta_fw-la in_o lapide_fw-la and_o give_v to_o the_o jew_n with_o the_o addition_n of_o many_o promise_n and_o many_o several_a punishment_n annex_v to_o the_o transgression_n of_o particular_a precept_n 2._o that_o the_o gentile_n have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o cord_n for_o so_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n have_v it_o and_o it_o be_v the_o moral_a law_n he_o mean_v for_o no_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n be_v by_o nature_n write_v in_o any_o man_n heart_n now_o what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o second_o and_o more_o perfect_a edition_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o it_o be_v give_v by_o moses_n only_o to_o the_o jew_n be_v either_o 1._o de_fw-fr officiis_n 2._o or_o de_fw-fr poenis_fw-la &_o promissis_fw-la i._o de_n officiis_n quid_fw-la faciendum_fw-la aut_fw-la fugiendum_fw-la what_o good_a we_o be_v to_o do_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o affirmative_a precept_n as_o in_o that_o remember_v the_o sabbath-day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n etc._n etc._n and_o what_o evil_a we_o be_v to_o avoid_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o negative_a precept_n such_o as_o these_o thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n etc._n etc._n in_o short_a the_o sum_n of_o all_o those_o duty_n which_o the_o moral_a law_n require_v of_o we_o be_v this_o that_o we_o love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o now_o as_o to_o all_o these_o duty_n the_o obligation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v universal_a eternal_a and_o indispensable_a it_o bind_v all_o man_n jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o that_o indispensable_o 2._o

i._o for_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v give_v only_o to_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o apostle_n express_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o gentile_n be_v alien_n and_o stranger_n to_o
