Your Answer to the second I cannot so well approve, because it is Exclusive.
As for your third answer, That the fourth Commandment is not the Law of nature, but a positive law; take the Law of Nature for Moral Reason, then I think there is more then mere positiveness in it. For moral reason teacheth to honour the day whereon the work is done; and that moral reason which gave this in charge was Apostolical, and so of a commanding power in both. And then you see that it is neither merely positive, nor merely natural, but mixed, and so binding accordingly, ut supra ad Thesin. 37. & 43.
As for your third answer, That the fourth Commandement is not the Law of nature, but a positive law; take the Law of Nature for Morall Reason, then I think there is more then meere positivenesse in it. For morall reason teacheth to honour the day whereon the work is done; and that morall reason which gave this in charge was Apostolicall, and so of a commanding power in both. And then you see that it is neither meerely positive, nor meerely naturall, but mixt, and so binding accordingly, ut supra ad Thesin. 37. & 43.
