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.
4. The Decalogue, and consequently the Sabbath, could not be given to any other People, because it referred to a People in a Church-state, having many other Laws, Statutes, and Judgments annexed unto it; the punishment for the breach of each Precept thereof being death: he that broke the Sabbath must die.
