Pag. 171, the Lord gave his people the morall Law and the ceremonies; and the Goſpell; when the ceremoniall Law was given, it derogated nothing from the morall Law, there was nothing abrogated or changed in the firſt Law, or ſubrogated in place of the morall Law, but when the Goſpel came in, the ceremonies were abrogated, et ſuperinducta eſt ſpes melior.
Pag. 137, 35.
Some Lawes are naturall and ceremoniall, ſome are judiciall and ceremoniall, and ſome are meere ceremoniall; naturall and ceremoniall, where the ground of the Law is naturall, and the ceremony annexed, the ceremony being taken away the naturall part may ſtand. Example, the father was bound to give his ſonne a double portion, becauſe he was his ſtrength, and becauſe he was a type of Chriſt; take away the type, the morall part ſtandeth. So where the Law is Iudiciall and ceremoniall. Example, Cities of refuge were appointed to ſave the mankiller, and he was to abide there untill the death of the Highprieſt; take away this ceremony, and Cities of refuge may remaine. Thirdly, where the law is ceremoniall and Iudiciall, a Magiſtrate cannot make the ceremoniall part, a part of the Iudiciall; Example, this was a judiciall and ceremoniall Law, that the malefactor ſhould be hanged upon a tree, and that he ſhould be cut downe before the night, becauſe he defiled the land, a magiſtrate may cauſe hang a theefe now, but he cannot cauſe hang him as accurſed or not ſuffer him to hang all night, becauſe he defiled the Land.
