3. Moreover, it is a grand mistake to say, that the Penalty of Death distinguisheth Moral Laws from Ceremonial: for he that in the days of Atonement did not afflict his Soul,1 must die, or be cut off; and whosoever toucheth the Mount, shall be surely put to death.2 And he that was not circumcised, must die, or he cut off; so for divers other Sins† that were not Moral Precepts.
