4 Rule, When the Law commandeth a duty, (as suppose to worship God) it doth require us to make use of means, occasions, motives and encouragements to it: and when the Law forbids (ex. gr. worshipping of Images), it doth also forbid the occasions, appearances and inducements of any evil. 5 Rule, Where a promise is annexed (ex. gr. that the days may be long in the Land, &c.) there the contrary threatening is included; and where a threatening is annexed, there the contrary promise is included. 6 Rule, That the duties of the second table must give place to the indispensable and necessary duties of the first table, when they cannot both be performed together, as the love of Parents must yield to the love of God; but in things ceremonial, the duties of the first table must yield to the moral duties of the second; as sacrificing to works of mercy towards man.
