SECTION XXVI.

The Iews Tenet concerning the Law, Talm. in Maccoth. Rab. Abhuhahh Ner. 1.

THE whole Law, say they, was given to Moses in six hundred and thirteen precepts. David in the fifteenth Psalm bringeth them all within the compass of eleven. 1. To walk uprightly. 2. To work righteousness. 3. To speak truth in the heart. 4. Not to slander. 5. Not to wrong a Neighbour. 6. Not to entertain or raise an ill report. 7. To vilisie a reprobate. 8. To honour them that fear the Lord. 9. That altereth not his oath. 10. Not to lend to usury. 11. Not to take bribes against the Innocent.

The Prophet Isaiah brings these to six, in Chap. 33. 15. 1. To walk justly. 2. To speak righteously. 3. To refuse gain of oppression. 4. To shake hands from taking bribes. 5. To stop the ears from hearing of blood. 6. To shut the eyes from seeing of evil.

Micha reduceth all to three, Chap. 6. 8. 1. To do justly. 2. To love mercy. 3. To walk humbly with God. Isaiah again to two, Chap. 56. 1. 1. Keep judgment. 2. Do justice. Amos to one, Chap. 5. 4. Seek me. Habakkuk also brings all to one, Chap. 2. 4. The just by his Faith shall live. Thus the Jews witness against themselves while they conclude that Faith is the sum of the Law, and yet they stand altogether upon works; A Testimony from Jews exceedingly remarkable.
