9. Also note, that the second Commandment (as given by Moses) enjoined the Jewish Nation to observe the whole Ceremonial Law, and all other Precepts of the Mosaical Economy. But as the Moral Law is in the hands of Christ, the second Command doth not enjoin on us the observance of those Precepts, because abolished; but it enjoins on us the observance of all Ordinances whatsoever Christ hath commanded us. Also that Clause in the second Commandment, ⟨p. 182⟩viz. Visiting the Iniquities of the Fathers on the Children to the third and fourth Generation; doubtless belonged to the Covenant of Works, and was a temporal Punishment. Doth God do thus under the New Covenant? Moreover, the Promise annexed to the fifth Commandment, shows that the Law, as given by Moses, only appertained to the People of Israel; as also the Preface to them all, Exod. 20. 2. doth the like.

10. So the fourth Commandment (as in the hand of Moses) enjoined the People of Israel the observance of the Seventh-day: But as the Law is in the hand of Christ, it doth not enjoin us to observe that day, but being a Shadow is abolished. But it doth enjoin us to observe the first day of the Week, which Christ (as the Lord of the Sabbath) hath instituted under the Gospel in its room, tho not to be observed with that legal strictness and penalty as the old Sabbath, which was a sign of the Covenant of Works, and gendered to bondage.
