sic_fw-la be_v considerable_a even_o in_o its_o native_a rational_a principle_n as_o whatsoever_o be_v conformable_a to_o any_o rational_a principle_n have_v a_o pulchritude_n and_o beauty_n natural_o belong_v thereunto_o and_o thus_o all_o moral_a action_n be_v good_a in_o their_o kind_n as_o be_v solid_a and_o true_a to_o positive_a principle_n 2._o the_o same_o action_n in_o specie_fw-la which_o

in_o this_o present_a world_n etc._n etc._n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n where_o we_o have_v the_o end_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o make_v man_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o if_o the_o

3._o although_o the_o christian_a as_o such_o be_v above_o morality_n as_o result_v from_o the_o dictate_v of_o mere_a reason_n yet_o the_o christian_a as_o such_o be_v not_o above_o morality_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n he_o be_v to_o do_v they_o also_o with_o diligence_n and_o care_n although_o he_o do_v they_o upon_o a_o high_a account_n for_o 1._o there_o be_v the_o same_o legislative_a authority_n in_o the_o second_o table_n as_o in_o the_o first_o he_o that_o say_v thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o i_o say_v also_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n thy_o natural_a civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a parent_n he_o that_o forbid_v all_o spiritual_a fornication_n in_o false_a worship_n forbid_v also_o all_o carnal_a fornication_n he_o that_o in_o the_o affirmative_a include_v do_v command_v all_o worship_n to_o he_o do_v also_o command_v we_o to_o give_v whatsoever_o be_v due_a to_o our_o neighbour_n he_o that_o have_v enjoin_v we_o not_o to_o swear_v have_v also_o forbid_v we_o to_o deceive_v our_o neighbour_n by_o lie_v or_o stealth_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o frand_n he_o that_o have_v command_v we_o not_o to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o vain_a have_v also_o command_v we_o not_o to_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o our_o neighbour_n he_o that_o command_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n have_v command_v also_o not_o to_o covet_v so_o that_o all_o the_o law_n of_o the_o second_o table_n come_v under_o the_o account_n and_o rate_n of_o the_o same_o service_n to_o god_n they_o have_v the_o enforcement_n of_o the_o same_o author_n and_o the_o object_n person_n of_o their_o obedience_n be_v the_o same_o namely_o god_n although_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o matter_n and_o in_o the_o object_n of_o the_o matter_n for_o the_o first_o table_n have_v god_n the_o object_n of_o the_o matter_n thereof_o the_o second_o have_v man_n for_o the_o object_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o god_n be_v the_o object_n of_o obedience_n in_o the_o second_o table_n too_o because_o he_o give_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o though_o man_n be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o external_a act_n yet_o god_n be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o internal_a act_n wherein_o the_o formal_a consideration_n of_o obedience_n do_v consist_v and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o these_o action_n towards_o man_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o second_o table_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o love_n of_o he_o and_o in_o respect_n to_o he_o we_o do_v they_o not_o in_o way_n of_o obedience_n but_o upon_o some_o other_o respect_n and_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o author_n in_o regard_n of_o principle_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o end_n the_o whole_a law_n be_v one_o copulative_a 2._o this_o morality_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v worthy_a of_o a_o christian_a and_o it_o become_v he_o well_o because_o it_o be_v more_o difficult_a for_o he_o to_o perform_v the_o outward_a act_n of_o it_o than_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o the_o first_o table_n upon_o two_o consideration_n first_o because_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o second_o table_n in_o some_o commandment_n at_o least_o work_v against_o carnal_a lust_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o carnal_a lust_n which_o do_v work_n against_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o first_o table_n in_o the_o outward_a act_n thereof_o second_o because_o there_o be_v less_o disprofit_v in_o outward_a obedience_n to_o the_o first_o table_n as_o in_o hear_v read_v pray_v talk_v of_o religion_n urge_v this_o or_o that_o way_n of_o the_o church_n then_o in_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o second_o table_n by_o break_v whereof_o we_o think_v we_o can_v mend_v our_o estate_n well_o and_o yet_o come_v off_o handsome_o with_o the_o world_n in_o the_o great_a practice_n of_o more_o outward_a holiness_n and_o thus_o our_o singularity_n in_o outward_a piety_n may_v also_o be_v of_o use_n to_o our_o interest_n and_o by_o a_o stickle_a in_o outward_a reformation_n we_o may_v raise_v a_o dust_n to_o blind_a man_n eye_n so_o far_o as_o they_o may_v easy_o think_v that_o while_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n lift_v up_o to_o
