Although the law given from God by Moses, as touching ceremonies and rites, do not bind Christians; nor the civil precepts given by Moses, such as were peculiarly fitted to the commonwealth of the Jews, are of necessity to be received in any commonwealth: yet, notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are called moral.
