in_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n out_o of_o which_o it_o seem_v take_v and_o we_o may_v judge_v other_o law_n of_o most_o equity_n and_o excellency_n that_o come_v near_o unto_o it_o only_o such_o variation_n of_o due_a circumstance_n observe_v 19_o what_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o moral_a law_n 1._o in_o that_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v about_o in_o

only_o by_o moses_n instruct_v of_o god_n 3._o the_o moral_a first_o give_v the_o other_o in_o consequence_n depend_v from_o some_o part_n of_o that_o 4._o the_o moral_a law_n neglect_v make_v worse_a

the_o moral_a law_n lay_v in_o the_o ark_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o perpetuity_n thereof_o signify_v the_o ceremonial_a not_o so_o 20._o why_o be_v the_o ceremonial_a to_o end_v 1._o because_o the_o first_o temple_n unto_o which_o fit_v be_v to_o take_v end_n by_o succession_n of_o a_o second_o in_o stead_n thereof_o 2._o because_o the_o sacrifice_n the_o shadow_n of_o christ_n one_o eternal_a
