2. What are the parts of the Law.
Laws are some divine, and some humane. Humane laws are they, which being established by men, do bind certain men unto certain external actions, whereof there is no divine commandment or prohibition expressly, with a promise of reward, and commination or threatening of punishments corporal and temporal. These humane laws are either Civill, or Ecclesiastical. Civill laws are such as are made by Magistrates, or some whole body and corporation, concerning a certain order of actions to be observed in civill government, in bargains and contracts, in judgements and punishments, &c. Ecclesiastical or Ceremonial laws are those, which are made by the consent of the Church, concerning some certain order of actions to be observed in the Ministry of the Church, which are the limitations of circumstances, serving for the Law of God.
