The ceremonial law consisting chiefly of types and shadows §41of things to come, Heb. 8.5. and therefore being to ⟨p. 34⟩cease when the body was come, Col. 2.17. was not therefore perpetual (as the law moral) but temporary, and of binding power only to the nation of the Jews and their proselytes, and not putting any tie upon all Nations, as the moral law did. Every ceremonial law was temporary, but every temporary law was not ceremonial (as some say) as is demonstrable from sundry judicials, which in their determinations were proper to that Nation, while that Jewish polity continued, and are not therefore now to be observed.
