the_o four_o commandment_n as_o it_o enjoin_v the_o external_a observation_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v not_o moral_a either_o of_o these_o way_n whence_o s._n augustine_n ibid._n say_v that_o among_o all_o those_o ten_o commandment_n that_o only_o of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v figurative_o to_o be_v observe_v whereas_o as_o he_o after_o say_v we_o observe_v the_o other_o commandment_n there_o proper_o as_o they_o be_v command_v without_o any_o figurative_a signification_n and_o general_o the_o ancient_n as_o calvin_n have_v true_o observe_v call_v this_o precept_n ibid._n a_o shadow_n which_o as_o he_o there_o say_v be_v true_o but_o not_o full_o say_v of_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o do_v better_o and_o more_o full_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o commandment_n which_o say_v it_o be_v 2._o partly_o moral_a and_o partly_o ceremonial_a so_o peter_n martyr_n and_o general_o all_o divine_n both_o reform_v and_o other_o use_v now_o to_o speak_v now_o if_o any_o shall_v therefore_o think_v it_o unworthy_a a_o place_n in_o the_o decalogue_n and_o to_o be_v rank_v with_o those_o precept_n which_o be_v moral_a and_o of_o perpetual_a observance_n secundum_fw-la aquinas_n may_v seem_v to_o give_v they_o full_a satisfaction_n who_o say_v 1._o that_o the_o precept_n concern_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v put_v among_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o decalogue_n for_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a in_o it_o 2._o that_o this_o precept_n as_o ceremonial_a ought_v rather_o to_o have_v a_o place_n in_o the_o decalogue_n than_o any_o other_o the_o other_o ceremony_n be_v sign_n of_o some_o particular_a effect_n of_o god_n but_o this_o of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o general_a benefit_n viz._n the_o creation_n of_o the_o 11._o universe_n so_o that_o that_o which_o amesius_n will_v have_v a_o most_o certain_a rule_n and_o receive_v among_o all_o the_o best_a divine_v as_o he_o call_v they_o that_o all_o and_o only_o the_o moral_a precept_n be_v deliver_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o by_o he_o write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v not_o true_a unless_o saint_n augustine_n calvin_n martyr_n etc._n etc._n be_v in_o his_o esteem_n none_o of_o the_o best_a divine_n yet_o perhaps_o we_o may_v admit_v that_o rule_n so_o far_o as_o to_o say_v that_o all_o the_o moral_a precept_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o decalogue_n and_o that_o every_o precept_n there_o contain_v be_v moral_a though_o all_o of_o every_o precept_n be_v not_o so_o but_o may_v have_v something_o that_o be_v ceremonial_a annex_v to_o it_o which_o haply_o god_n think_v good_a to_o place_v among_o the_o moral_a precept_n to_o intimate_v the_o perpetual_a necessity_n of_o have_v some_o ceremony_n in_o the_o church_n though_o that_o ceremony_n be_v not_o necessary_o perpetual_a but_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o nature_n to_o expire_v at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o though_o we_o admit_v yet_o can_v any_o just_o charge_v we_o that_o we_o diminish_v any_o of_o the_o ten_o word_n or_o that_o we_o expunge_v one_o commandment_n out_o of_o the_o decalogue_n 13._o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o affirm_v that_o only_o which_o be_v ceremonial_a in_o this_o commandment_n to_o be_v expire_v and_o out_o of_o date_n and_o that_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o morality_n still_o remain_v which_o retain_v its_o full_a

in_o which_o respect_n the_o church_n have_v good_a cause_n still_o to_o use_v her_o accustom_a antiphona_n at_o the_o repeat_n of_o this_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o at_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o to_o pray_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o here_o because_o some_o who_o love_v to_o have_v this_o commandment_n term_v moral_a though_o thereby_o they_o intend_v no_o more_o than_o what_o have_v be_v already_o grant_v use_v so_o to_o argue_v as_o if_o they_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o at_o all_o to_o be_v ceremonial_a it_o

in_o their_o opinion_n make_v strong_o for_o the_o morality_n and_o perpetual_a obligation_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n for_o from_o hence_o they_o argue_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o which_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o destroy_v but_o fulfil_v be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o he_o do_v not_o destroy_v the_o law_n contain_v in_o the_o decalogue_n therefore_o it_o be_v still_o in_o force_n for_o answer_v hereunto_o i_o say_v that_o in_o this_o argument_n two_o thing_n be_v by_o they_o suppose_v first_o they_o suppose_v that_o by_o the_o law_n in_o this_o place_n be_v mean_v only_o the_o
