3. The Law of the Decalogue could not be given to all or any other People, because God did not give any Command to Moses, or to any of his Servants, to promulge, declare, or make known that Law, or the Sabbath, to any other People in the World but the Jews only.
No Law can bind without Promulgation: the Gospel is of a large extent, as appears by the Commission,1 Go into all the World, &c. Go teach all Nations, &c. Thus our Lord hath appointed the Promulgation of the Gospel, but not a word of any such Commission for the Promulgation of the Law of Moses given Exod. 20.
4. Because Moses was never made or appointed a Lawgiver to any other People but Israel only:1 He was a Ruler over none but the Jews, ⟨p. 129⟩and the Decalogue was but part of the Jewish Law as written in Tables of Stone. Others may say, Who made thee a Ruler over us, or a Legislator, or deputed Officer from God to us?
- 1Moses no Law-giver but to the Jews.
