it_o any_o prejudice_n to_o this_o inference_n that_o man_n conscience_n do_v oftentimes_o condemn_v they_o for_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o any_o

so_o do_v yet_o can_v they_o not_o unless_o they_o can_v build_v without_o a_o foundation_n incline_v the_o man_n to_o be_v trouble_v for_o it_o but_o upon_o supposition_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o evil_n again_o when_o the_o main_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n proceed_v from_o hence_o even_o from_o the_o do_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o that_o assure_v we_o to_o be_v evil_a what_o reason_n can_v be_v assign_v of_o that_o trouble_n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o truth_n implant_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o our_o conscience_n assure_v we_o to_o be_v bad_a for_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a no_o man_n can_v be_v trouble_v for_o act_v against_o his_o conscience_n but_o upon_o supposition_n of_o his_o be_v bind_v to_o follow_v

probability_n most_o easy_a to_o be_v discern_v by_o we_o where_o the_o first_o capital_a precept_n that_o present_v itself_o to_o we_o be_v the_o preservation_n of_o ourselves_o now_o that_o this_o be_v a_o precept_n of_o that_o law_n which_o we_o call_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n beside_o our_o own_o natural_a propension_n to_o it_o will_v appear_v from_o god_n give_v we_o a_o be_v and_o mean_n

it_o be_v though_o not_o a_o direct_a yet_o a_o consequential_a contradiction_n to_o that_o provision_n which_o he_o have_v make_v for_o we_o in_o the_o world_n for_o what_o design_n can_v we_o

the_o design_n of_o the_o almighty_a in_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v receive_v support_n and_o comfort_n by_o they_o if_o this_o design_n of_o his_o appear_v from_o

from_o hence_o we_o may_v collect_v what_o we_o be_v to_o think_v of_o all_o self-murther_n excess_n or_o neglect_v for_o if_o the_o preservation_n of_o ourselves_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o

for_o be_v it_o be_v a_o clear_a dictate_v of_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v excellent_a be_v to_o be_v honour_v god_n as_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a essence_n yea_o the_o

concern_v that_o other_o branch_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n even_o our_o yield_a obedience_n to_o all_o his_o command_n for_o be_v as_o be_v before_o show_v god_n be_v our_o maker_n and_o

discover_v thus_o when_o moses_n have_v break_v the_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n wherein_o god_n have_v write_v the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o thereby_o deface_v the_o character_n thereof_o the_o

particular_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n concern_v which_o you_o may_v remember_v i_o propose_v to_o inquire_v into_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o by_o what_o authority_n that_o law_n stand_v 2._o how_o it_o come_v to_o oblige_v we_o and_o 3._o what_o measure_v we_o be_v to_o proceed_v by_o in_o find_v out_o the_o full_a importance_n of_o it_o 1._o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o or_o at_o

can_v pretend_v to_o be_v of_o divine_a authority_n this_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n certain_o may_v for_o first_o of_o all_o when_o moses_n have_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n assemble_v all_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n near_o mount_n sinai_n god_n by_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n publish_v all_o these_o commandment_n in_o their_o ear_n and_o with_o all_o the_o sign_n and_o demonstration_n of_o his_o majesty_n again_o when_o the_o same_o people_n terrify_v by_o the_o dreadful_a appearance_n of_o his_o majesty_n desire_v to_o have_v this_o law_n deliver_v to_o they_o by_o moses_n god_n in_o compliance_n with_o their_o desire_n write_v the_o same_o word_n in_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o transmit_v they_o by_o he_o unto_o the_o people_n exod._n 31.8_o last_o when_o moses_n have_v break_v those_o two_o table_n and_o thereby_o put_v god_n upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o transcribe_v they_o anew_o he_o write_v upon_o other_o two_o table_n the_o same_o ten_o commandment_n as_o you_o may_v see_v deut._n 10.4_o so_o that_o if_o the_o publish_n of_o commandment_n from_o heaven_n or_o write_v they_o with_o his_o own_o finger_n can_v entitle_v they_o to_o a_o divine_a authority_n the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n certain_o may_v as_o be_v notify_v by_o both_o 2._o but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o make_v a_o law_n obligatory_a to_o we_o that_o it_o have_v god_n for_o its_o author_n and_o promulger_n unless_o it_o do_v also_o appear_v to_o have_v be_v intend_v for_o our_o direction_n and_o obedience_n therefore_o before_o we_o proceed_v to_o infer_v our_o own_o obligation_n by_o it_o we_o must_v inquire_v how_o it_o come_v to_o do_v so_o and_o what_o appearance_n there_o be_v of_o god_n intend_v it_o for_o our_o direction_n and_o obedience_n and_o here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v manifest_a enough_o that_o what_o be_v before_o say_v concern_v the_o law_n give_v to_o adam_n and_o noah_n can_v have_v place_n in_o those_o give_v to_o moses_n and_o the_o israelite_n those_o be_v not_o representative_n of_o mankind_n as_o adam_n and_o noah_n be_v but_o only_o of_o the_o jewish_a state_n now_o be_v the_o gentile_n be_v no_o part_n of_o that_o body_n nor_o descend_v from_o the_o author_n of_o it_o therefore_o what_o be_v give_v to_o they_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o oblige_v we_o for_o that_o reason_n and_o consequent_o some_o other_o ground_n must_v be_v look_v out_o for_o our_o obligation_n to_o it_o it_o be_v manifest_a second_o that_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o person_n to_o who_o this_o law_n be_v give_v to_o persuade_v our_o obligation_n to_o it_o so_o be_v there_o much_o in_o the_o law_n itself_o to_o persuade_v god_n design_v it_o for_o the_o jew_n alone_o for_o press_v as_o he_o do_v obedience_n to_o this_o law_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n he_o do_v consequent_o restrain_v the_o law_n itself_o to_o those_o who_o be_v benefit_v by_o it_o which_o none_o but_o the_o israelite_n be_v and_o indeed_o beside_o the_o preface_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o that_o of_o moses_n before_o the_o same_o commandment_n deut._n 5.1_o hear_v o_o israel_n the_o statute_n and_o judgement_n which_o i_o speak_v in_o your_o ear_n this_o day_n it_o be_v the_o know_a exultation_n of_o that_o people_n and_o of_o the_o most_o holy_a

to_o the_o forequote_v text_n that_o the_o law_n be_v intend_v for_o the_o jew_n alone_o whilst_o the_o church_n be_v confine_v to_o palestine_n but_o as_o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o time_n even_o by_o the_o prediction_n of_o their_o own_o prophet_n when_o all_o nation_n shall_v flow_v unto_o it_o isa_n 2.2_o so_o it_o be_v apparent_a three_o from_o the_o same_o prophet_n that_o the_o law_n be_v then_o proportionable_o to_o extend_v its_o dominion_n and_o comprehend_v those_o new_a comer_n as_o well_o as_o its_o ancient_a subject_n the_o design_n of_o their_o thus_o flow_v into_o the_o

according_o as_o before_o this_o law_n be_v thus_o to_o take_v effect_n it_o be_v in_o reason_n to_o have_v a_o new_a promulgation_n suitable_a to_o the_o extent_n of_o its_o dominion_n so_o if_o we_o

of_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man._n i_o will_v not_o at_o the_o first_o either_o take_v so_o much_o for_o grant_v or_o attempt_v the_o probation_n of_o it_o whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v say_v

imply_v the_o have_v of_o he_o for_o our_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o god_n save_v thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n before_o i_o his_o meaning_n be_v as_o well_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v he_o for_o our_o god_n as_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o other_o god_n beside_o again_o when_o the_o have_v of_o any_o one_o for_o our_o god_n imply_v the_o fear_v and_o
