the_o whole_a house_n of_o jacob_n be_v take_v into_o that_o legal_a typical_a covenant_n which_o peculiar_o refer_v to_o that_o people_n therefore_o god_n give_v they_o that_o law_n and_o the_o

it_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v but_o god_n enter_v into_o no_o such_o covenant_n with_o any_o other_o people_n or_o nation_n under_o heaven_n therefore_o the_o law_n of_o the_o decalogue_n can_v not_o

law_n of_o the_o decalogue_n can_v not_o be_v give_v to_o all_o or_o any_o other_o people_n because_o god_n do_v not_o give_v any_o command_n to_o moses_n or_o to_o any_o of_o his_o servant_n to_o

a_o ruler_n over_o none_o but_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o decalogue_n be_v but_o part_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n as_o write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n other_o may_v say_v who_o make_v thou_o a_o

because_o it_o refer_v to_o a_o people_n in_o a_o church-state_n have_v many_o other_o law_n statute_n and_o judgement_n annex_v unto_o it_o the_o punishment_n for_o the_o breach_n of_o each_o

do_v not_o do_v 5._o beside_o as_o one_o observe_v there_o be_v ceremony_n belong_v to_o the_o sabbath_n that_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o right_a keep_n of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o enjoin_v on_o
