§ 5. It is certain, that the Mosaical Law made for the Jews peculiar republic, as such, is abrogate; not only the Ceremonial part, but all: All that was not then made for all the world, is ceased; 1. Because the Common-wealth is ceased for which it was made: 2. The Holy Ghost expressly and frequently determineth it so; even of that Law that was written in stone, as such, 2 Cor. 3. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Heb. 7. 12. 19. Gal. 4. 21, & o. 3. 24. The natural part, and that which was instituted positively long before for perpetuity, were both of them God's Laws before Moses's time, and as such, obliged other Nations, and so do still: The matter written in stone (except some few mutable particulars, as the seventh day Sabbath, &c.) is such as we are still obliged to, 1. By Nature, 2. By Christ: But not as it was part of the Jews peculiar Mosaical Law. Much less doth it bind all the world to its Policy.
