god_n so_o it_o may_v have_v be_v but_o that_o it_o be_v so_o god_n have_v not_o declare_v to_o we_o nor_o be_v it_o possible_a without_o a_o particular_a revelation_n for_o we_o to_o come_v to_o

to_o obedience_n for_o 1_o st_z the_o positive_a command_n though_o they_o be_v always_o in_o force_n and_o therefore_o oblige_v all_o who_o have_v any_o concern_v with_o they_o and_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o they_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o extend_v to_o all_o person_n nor_o oblige_v at_o all_o time_n as_o for_o example_n to_o honour_v our_o father_n and_o mother_n be_v a_o duty_n of_o eternal_a obligation_n but_o then_o many_o there_o be_v who_o have_v no_o father_n nor_o mother_n and_o therefore_o neither_o can_v they_o lie_v under_o any_o obligation_n to_o

be_v guilty_a of_o any_o sin_n by_o not_o observe_v of_o it_o but_o now_o the_o negative_a command_n not_o only_o oblige_v always_o but_o all_o person_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o circumstance_n and_o therefore_o to_o worship_n any_o other_o god_n beside_o the_o lord_n to_o make_v any_o graven_n image_n to_o bow_v down_o before_o it_o and_o worship_v it_o to_o take_v god_n

another_o so_o that_o when_o god_n command_v any_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o he_o do_v by_o the_o very_a same_o command_n forbid_v whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o to_o be_v do_v by_o us._n and_o again_o when_o he_o forbid_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v he_o do_v thereby_o require_v we_o to_o fulfil_v the_o opposite_a duty_n imply_v as_o well_o as_o to_o avoid_v the_o sin_n which_o be_v express_o take_v notice_n of_o to_o clear_v my_o meaning_n in_o a_o instance_n of_o each_o kind_a god_n command_v we_o in_o the_o four_o commandment_n to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath-day_n and_o that_o by_o sanctify_v of_o it_o to_o a_o religious_a rest_n and_o by_o the_o same_o commandment_n he_o forbid_v we_o to_o do_v any_o servile_a work_n upon_o it_o or_o any_o thing_n whereby_o this_o day_n may_v be_v unhallowed_a or_o profane_v by_o us._n and_o this_o will_v have_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o command_n though_o god_n have_v not_o express_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o in_o like_a manner_n when_o in_o the_o six_o commandment_n god_n forbid_v we_o to_o commit_v murder_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o prohibit_v thereby_o to_o stab_v or_o poison_n our_o neighbour_n but_o be_v require_v to_o do_v what_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o cherish_v and_o preserve_v his_o life_n to_o help_v he_o if_o he_o

be_v several_a such_o rule_n but_o those_o of_o most_o consequence_n seem_v to_o be_v these_o four_n first_o that_o in_o every_o commandment_n the_o general_n thing_n express_v comprehend_v under_o
