The Law may be said to be abrogated divers ways.1 1. When it is antiquated or obsolete, so as men are neither bound to duty nor punishment: and thus the ceremonies are abrogated. 2. When the punishment is changed, only the obedience still remaining in force, as in the law of stealth. 3. It is abrogated to the guilty, when the punishment is transferred on another, so as the law cannot exercise her force upon the guilty person. 4. It is abrogated, when it is weakened and enervated by transgressors: to break the Law is to loose or dissolve the Law; thus wicked men by their lives abrogate it.
