Thesis 37.
If there must be one law in the Decalogue, ceremoni∣all, [ 37] * 1.1 that so the more Authority may bee procured hereby (as Mr. Primrose pleads) unto all Gods Ordinances, and therefore one of the ceremonials was written in the De∣calogue with Gods owne finger, and honoured with the like prerogatives as the morall lawes were, which were immediately spoken by God himselfe:
Then (if this rea∣soning be solid) why was not one judiciall and another E∣vangelicall precept alike honoured also?
For was there not as much need to procure Authority to this as well as to ce∣remonials? and yet wee see their Authority was sufficiently procured without being shusted into the Decalogue, and so might ceremonialls also.
