Again, If it be not Moral, but contain some Ceremonial thing reducible to one of the three former Commands: Then 1. It might have been put amongst other Ceremonials. 2. Other Ceremonials might have been put in with it: Or. 3. A Reason given, Why all are not Reducible to some Moral Command. 4. If the matter of this be Reducible to another Command, then can it not be accounted a distinct Command, neither ought it here to have been given as such, but subjoined to some other; as the Servants and Beasts resting, is sub-joined to this▪ 5. It would be shown to what Command it's Reducible as to the substance of it, if it be Ceremonial: 6. A Reason would be given, Why amongst Ten, One▪ and only One, is set down, so far different from all the rest.

Fourthly, we reason thus; If it be not Moral, it must either be Judicial, or Ceremonial, for the matter and substance of it; but it is not Judicial: that is, it belongeth not to External Policy, and Civil Society, principally and especially, in that one Nation, because no such duties are comprehended, at least Primarily, in any Command of the first Table; but in the second, which teacheth Duties to others, as this first, doth to God: Neither is it Ceremonial; For, All Ceremonies, that are Typical, have their rise since the fall, and relate some way to Christ to come. But this of sanctifying one Day of seven, had it's rise in the state of innocency, and was enjoined to Adam in Paradise, before he fell, and therefore cannot be called Ceremonial properly, more then the Command of a Man's leaving Father and Mother, and cleaving to his Wife, so that they two should be one flesh, which the Apostle
