Thesis 35.

[ 35] There is therefore no necessity of making one law in the Decalogue to bee ceremoniall, that it may be the sum∣mary head of all ceremonials, viz. because ceremonialls are branches of the covenant, which is the Decalogue; for upon the like ground there must bee one judiciall law also as the summary of all judicials, nay one Evangelicall law also as the head of all Evangelicals, sprinkled here and there in Moses his writings, of which we read Iohn 5.43. Rev. 10.6, 7, 8. with Deut. 30.12, 13. Gal. 3.8. with Gen. 12.3. for judicials and Evangelicals are branches of the Covenant, as well as ceremonials, if Mr. Primrose his principle be true; but if by his owne con∣fession nine of them are morals, and one of them only the head of ceremonialls, how shall judiciall and Evangelicall summaries come in? which either he must make room for in the Decalogue, or acknowledge his foundation to be rotten, upon which he hath built up one ceremoniall law among the nine moralls.
