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.

Dr. Owen saith,1 Moral Laws are such as have the Reasons of them taken from the nature of the things themselves required in them; for they are good from their respect to the nature of God himself, &c. Laws Positive, as they are occasionally given, so they are esteemed alterable at pleasure, being fixed by mere Will and Prerogative, without respect to any thing that should make them necessary antecedently to their being given; they may by the same Authority at any time be taken away and abolished.
