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 power_n of_o obligation_n and_o exact_v the_o same_o obedience_n under_o the_o same_o penalty_n which_o it_o do_v at_o its_o first_o promulgation_n or_o inscription_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o adam_n 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 will_v not_o be_v amiss_o before_o we_o proceed_v any_o further_a to_o answer_v some_o of_o the_o principal_a argument_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o this_o purpose_n and_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n math._n 1._o 5._o 17._o think_v not_o that_o i_o come_v to_o destroy_v the_o law_n or_o the_o prophet_n i_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v but_o to_o fulfil_v which_o word_n 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 law_n contain_v in_o the_o decalogue_n or_o ten_o commandment_n second_o that_o our_o saviour_n fulfil_n and_o not_o destroy_v this_o law_n be_v the_o ratify_n and_o perpetuate_n of_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o under_o the_o gospel_n if_o we_o grant_v they_o both_o these_o we_o shall_v condemn_v the_o christian_a church_n for_o alter_v the_o day_n from_o the_o seven_o to_o the_o eight_o or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o can_v stand_v with_o this_o exposition_n of_o our_o saviour_n speech_n who_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v say_v express_o that_o not_o one_o jot_n or_o title_n shall_v pass_v from_o the_o law_n but_o both_o these_o be_v beside_o the_o meaning_n and_o intent_n of_o our_o saviour_n as_o will_v easy_o appear_v to_o any_o that_o with_o indifferency_n do_v consider_v his_o word_n for_o first_o the_o law_n which_o our_o saviour_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v of_o large_a extent_n and_o latitude_n and_o comprehend_v not_o only_o the_o decalogue_n or_o law_n moral_a but_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a also_o as_o be_v indeed_o put_v for_o the_o pentateuch_n or_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o so_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n as_o much_o as_o moses_n 12._o and_o the_o prophet_n which_o form_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v as_o a_o periphrasis_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o which_o these_o two_o be_v the_o main_a essential_a part_n the_o book_n of_o moses_n so_o contain_v and_o describe_v the_o law_n that_o they_o reserre_v whatsoever_o else_o they_o contain_v unto_o that_o receive_v their_o denomination_n from_o it_o as_o from_o the_o principal_a subject_n of_o they_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v their_o book_n comprehend_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o the_o hebrew_n divide_v into_o the_o former_a and_o latter_a prophet_n and_o the_o hagiographa_n 〈◊〉_d all_o which_o though_o they_o be_v not_o prophecy_n be_v write_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n and_o by_o holy_a man_n as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v just_o be_v term_v the_o word_n of_o prophecy_n and_o pass_v 1._o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o law_n be_v take_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v manifest_a by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o same_o phrase_n else_o where_o where_o not_o only_o the_o duty_n command_v in_o the_o decalogue_n but_o christ_n and_o faith_n in_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o witness_v by_o the_o law_n to_o which_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n use_v the_o same_o phrase_n act_v 28._o 23._o rom._n 3._o 21._o now_o what_o word_n in_o
