moral_a some_o thing_n ceremonial_a and_o some_o thing_n judicial_a the_o moral_a part_n of_o the_o law_n at_o all_o time_n and_o of_o all_o person_n must_v be_v needs_o observe_v the_o ceremonialle_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v only_o of_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o man_n as_o the_o jew_n and_o at_o certain_a time_n as_o namely_o for_o example_n circumcision_n and_o these_o be_v only_o in_o a_o figure_n

the_o ten_o whether_o they_o pertain_v to_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o it_o seem_v they_o do_v not_o because_o the_o moral_a precept_n be_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o only_o be_v the_o

not_o they_o do_v well_o that_o pay_n they_o hereunto_o some_o have_v make_v answer_n that_o live_v before_o we_o be_v bear_v that_o there_o be_v some_o law_n only_o moral_a some_o only_o ceremonial_a some_o partly_o moral_n and_o partly_o ceremonial_a this_o law_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v be_v only_o moral_a so_o likewise_o be_v this_o thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o so_o forth_o if_o thou_o say_v upon_o such_o a_o day_n thou_o shall_v offer_v a_o lamb_n at_o the_o even_a tide_n this_o only_a be_v a_o law_n ceremonial_a but_o if_o we_o say_v remember_v to_o keep_v

be_v moral_a whereof_o also_o natural_a reason_n give_v we_o secret_a warning_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v some_o vacant_a time_n to_o serve_v god_n but_o that_o this_o chief_o shall_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o saboth_n day_n or_o the_o sunday_n etc_n etc_n it_o be_v judicial_a whereupon_o they_o say_v also_o that_o the_o commandment_n which_o concern_v tithe_n be_v partly_o ceremonial_a and_o partly_o moral_a for_o tithe_n be_v for_o the_o relief_n of_o poor_a man_n and_o such_o as_o apply_v god_n service_n or_o the_o office_n of_o preach_v for_o he_o that_o serve_v for_o a_o public_a minister_n of_o god_n church_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n he_o shall_v live_v of_o their_o public_a charge_n where_o he_o serve_v and_o this_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o that_o the_o

wherefore_o the_o ten_o be_v still_o hold_v not_o because_o the_o payment_n of_o they_o be_v necessary_a by_o the_o la_o of_o nature_n but_o because_o the_o church_n have_v so_o ordain_v so_o far_o
