1. Observance is either Religion, or Justice.
1. OBservance is either Religion, or Iustice.
2. This distribution as touching the thing it self is made by God in the division of the decalogue, as it is enfolded by Christ. Mat. 22. 37. Also the sense of the same distribution is expressed in other words, Rom. 1. 18. Where all disobedience of man is distributed into impiety and injustice, which could not stand unless all obedience also were conversant in Piety and Justice: which is also more plainly opened. Tit. 2. 12. Where of those three thing propounded. Righteousness and Piety, do make the parts of new Obedience, and Temperance notes the manner or means of performing the same, namely denying worldly lusts.
