Mr. Shepherd saith,1 A Law strictly and especially moral, is that which concerns the Manners of all Men, of which we now speak, and may be thus described, viz. It is such a Law as is commanded, because it is good; and it is not therefore merely good because it is commanded. And thus Austin, saith he, described it long since. Also Cameron, and multitudes of other Writers and learned Men. But mere Divine positive Laws are commanded of God, and therefore good.

Some say, that is simply moral that is the Law of Nature, or which naturally obligeth all Men, and is distinguished from Laws Ceremonial, and Judicial. Thus one expresseth himself, i. e. 1This Law Moral all Men take to be the Law of Nature, and reciprocally they take the Law of Nature for this Law, for that which is naturally and universally just.
