First, I shall give you the sense of the Learned about a pure moral Precept.
First, The Term Moral being but a scholastical Expression, and not properly signifying that which is usually understood by it,1 say Mr. Cawdry and Mr. Palmer, we have ever judged it a Bone of Contention: Moral (relating to a Law) signifies in it self any Precept serving to regulate the Manners of Men.

Dr. White saith,1 A Divine Law called Moral is a just Rule or Measure imposed by God, directing and obliging to Obedience of things holy, honest, and just. The same is twofold, simply moral, or moral only by some external Constitution or Imposition of God. Divine Law simply moral, commands or prohibits Actions good or evil, in respect of their inward nature and quality.
