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

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

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
