Again, in the next place, take also this general Observation, 1That although the Judicial and Ceremonial laws were given at the same time with the Moral Law, yet there is a difference between them. And this is to be taken notice of, lest any should think, what will this discourse make for the honour of the Moral Law, more then the other laws? It's true, these three kinds of laws agree in the common efficient cause, which was God; and in the minister, or mediator, which was Moses; in the subject, which was the people of Israel; and all and every one of them; as also in the common effects, of binding and obliging 2them to obedience, and to punish the bold offenders against them. But herein the Moral Law is preeminent: 1. In that it is a foundation of the other laws, and they are reduceable to it. 2. This was to abide always, not the other. 3. This was immediately written by God, and commanded to be kept in the Ark, which the other were not.
