The DE╌CA╌LOGƲE, or MORAL Law of God, writt╌en in two Tables, and con╌tain╌ing a pre╌façe, ten Com╌mand╌ments, and rea╌sons an╌nex╌ed to-some-of-the-com╌mand╌ments, Exod. 20.1.DE╌CALOGUS, seu Lex-Divína-Morális, inscrípta duábus-Tábulis, & cóntinens Praefatió­nem, decem-mandáta, unà-cum-Ratiónibus an­néxis nonnúllis-mandatis, Exod. XX. 1.
GOd spake âll these words, say╌ing, The Prefaçe. I am the Lord thy god, which have brought thee out of the Land of E╌gypt, out of the house of bond╌age.Locútus est Deus ómnia-verba-haec, dicens, Praefátio, sive-exórdium. Ego sum Dóminus deus-tuus, qui edúxi te ex-terrâ Aegypti, ex-domo servit útis.
First Com╌mand╌ment. 1 Thou shâlt have no o╌ther gods be╌fore me.Primum-Mandatum. I. Non habébis Deos-aliénos coram-me.
Se╌cond. 2. Thou shâlt not make unto thee a╌ny gra╌ven i╌mage, or a╌ny like╌ness of a╌ny-thing, that is in-hea╌ven a╌bove, or that is in the earth be╌neath, or that is in the wâ╌ters un╌der the earth; Thou shâlt not bow down thy self to them, nor serv themSecundum. II. Non fáçies tibi imaginem-quamvis-scúlptilem, aut similitúdinem rei-cujúsvis, quae est in-coelis supérnè, aut infériùs in-terris, aut in-aquis infra-Terram: Non incurvábis te iis, nec iis sérvies.
Reasons 1. For I, the Lord,Rationes. 1. Siquidem Ego Dóminus,
2. Thy God,2. Deus-tuus,
3. am a jéa╌lôus God,3. Deus sum zelótypus,
I. Vi╌sit╌ing the in╌i╌qui╌ties of the fa╌thers up╌on the chil╌dren, un╌to the third, and fourth-ge╌ne╌ra╌ti╌on of them-that-hate me,1. Visitans iniquitátes patrum in-filios, ad tertiam-usque, quartamque-progeniem osórummei;
II. And shew╌ing mer╌çy un╌to thou╌sands of them, that love me, and keep my-com╌mand╌ments.II. Exhihens verò miseric órdiam ad­millenas usque diligentium me, ac obser­vantium mandáta-méa.
Third. 3. Thou-shâlt-not-take the Name of-the Lord-thy-god in-vain.Tertium. III. Nomen Dómini Deì-tui inánitèr non-usurpábis.
Reason. For the Lord will not hôld him guilt╌less, [...]at taketh his Name in╌vain.Ratio. Non enim habébit Dóminus, eum pro-insonte, qui nomen-ejus adhibuerit inániter
Fourth Com╌mand╌ment. 4. Re╌mem╌ber the Sab╌bath-day to╌keep-it-ho╌ly.Quartum-Mandatum. IV. Memîneris diem-Sábbati, ut-sanctîfices-eum.
Reasons. 1. Six daies shâlt thou la╌bour, and do âll thy work.Rationes. 1. Sex-diébus operáberis, & fácies omne-opus-tuum.
2. But the se╌venth day is the Sab╌bath of the Lord thy God. In it Thou-shâlt not do any work, Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh╌ter, thy man╌serv╌ant, nor thy maid╌serv╌ant, nor thy cat╌tel, nor thy stran╌ger, that is with╌in thy gates.2. Séptimus vero diés est Sabbatum dómini dei-tui. In-eo nullum-opus facies. Tu, neque fìlius-tuus, neque fìlia-tua, nec servus-tuus, nec ancîlla tua, neque juméntum-tuum, nec hospes-tuus, quic únque intra-portas-tuas commorátur.
3. For in six daies, the Lord made hea╌ven, and earth, the sea, and âll that in-them is, and rest╌ed the se╌venth-day;3. Nam sex-diébus perfécit dóminus caelum, Terramque, mare, & quicquid in-illis continetur; séptimo verò die requiévit.
4. Where╌fore the Lord bless╌ed the Sab╌bath day, and hal╌lôw╌ed it.4. quámobrèm benedìxit dóminus dei-sábbati, eumque-sanctificávit.
The summ of the 4 first com╌mand╌ments, is, to love the Lord our god, with âll our heart, with âll our sôul, with âll our strength, and with âll our mind, Mat. 22.37, 38.Summa mandatórum quatuor priórum haec est, ut diligámus dóminum, deum nostrum, ex toto cor­de, ex totâ ánimâ, ex totis Víribus, & ex totâ mente nostrâ, Mat. 22.37, 38.
Fifth. 5. Ho╌nour thy-fa╌ther, and thy-mo╌ther. Reason. That thy daies may be long in-the-land, which the Lord thy-God giv╌eth thee.Quintum. V. Honóra Patrem tuum, ac Matreus tuam.
Sixth. 6. Thou shâlt not kill.Sextum. 6. Non occides.
Séventh. 7. Thou shâlt not com╌mit ad╌ul╌te╌rySeptimum. 7. Non maecháberis.
Eighth. 8. Thou shâlt not steal.Octavum. 8. Non furaberis.
Ninth. 9. Thou-shalt-not-bear-fâlse-wit╌ness a╌gainst thy neigh╌bour.Nonum. 9. Non-eris-testis-mendax. advèrsus-proximum-tuum.
Tenth. 10. Thou shâlt not co╌vet thy neigh╌bours house, thou shâlt not co╌vet thy neigh╌bours wife, nor his man╌servant, nor his maid╌serv-ant, nor his ox, nor his Ass, nor a╌ny-thing, that is thy neigh╌bours.Decimum. 10. Non concupisces uxórem proximi-tui, Non concupisces domum próximi-tui, non servum, non ancillam, non bovem, non ásinum, néc-quicquam-aliud quod ipsiús est.
The sum of the 6 last com╌mand╌ments, is, to Love our Neigh╌bour, as our selves, Mat. 22.39.40.Summa sex posteriorum, est ut diligamus proximum nostrum, sicut nos metipsos, Mat. 39.40.

Two SACRAMENTS of the New Tes╌ta╌ment, BAPTISM, and the LORD-SƲPPER.DUO SACRAMENTA novi Testamenti, BAPTISMUS, & Coena DOMINI.
A Sá╌cra╌ment is An Ho╌ly Or╌di╌nance in╌sti╌túted by Christ, where╌in by sen╌sible signs, Christ, and the bé╌ne╌fits of the new-Co╌ve╌nant, are re╌pre╌sent╌ed, séal╌ed, and ap╌pli╌ed to-Be╌liev╌ers, Gen. 17.7.10. 1 Cor. 11.23.26.Sacraméntum est Sácrum-institútum Christi, in-quo, per-signa-sensibus-óbvia, Christus, & benefìcia foederis-novi, exhibéntur, obsignántur, & applicantúr fidélibus, Gen. 17.7, 10. 1 Cor. 11.23, 26.
1. Báp╌tism is a Sá╌cra╌ment, where in, the wash╌ing with wâ╌ter, in the name of the Fa╌ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy-Ghôst (Mat. 28.19) doth síg╌ni╌fy, and seal our in╌gráft╌ing in╌to Christ, and par╌ta╌king of the bê╌ne╌fits of the Có╌ve╌nant of-graçe, and our en╌gáge╌ment to be the Lords, Rom. 6.4. Gal. 3.27.1. Baptìsmus est Sacraméntum, in-quo, lavácrum per-aquam, in-nomine Patris, & Fílii, & spìritus-sancti (Mat. 28.19.) significat, & obsignat insitiónem-nostram in Christ­um, participatiónemque beneficiórum foederis-gratúiti, sponsionèmque nostram, quâ dómino nostra damus nomina, Rom. 6.4. Gal. 3.27.
2. The Lords-sup╌per is a Sá╌cra╌ment, where╌in by giv╌ing, and re╌çèiv╌ing bread, and wine, ac╌cord╌ing to Christs ap╌point╌ment, his death is-shew╌ed-fôrth: and the wor╌thy re╌çèiv╌ers, are, (not af╌ter a cór╌po╌ral, and car╌nal man╌ner, but by faith) made par╌tá╌kers of his bo╌dy, and blood, with âll his bé╌ne╌fits, to-their spi╌ri╌tu╌al nou╌rish╌ment, and grôwth in graçe. 1 Cor. 11.23. to 30. and 1 Cor. 10.16. Mat. 26.26, 27, 28.2. Coena Dómini est Sacraméntum, in-quo, per-panem, & vinum, datum, & acceptum, ex-institúto-Christi, mors-ejus annunciátur: & qui-hanc-coenam-digne-partîcìpant, (non corpóreo, & carnáli-modo, sed fide) fiunt partícipes córporis & sánguinis-Christi, unà-cum-ómnibus-benefìciis-ejus, in-illorum spirituále-nutriméntum, & profectum in-grátiâ. 1 Cor. 11.23. ad 30. & 1 Cor. 10.16.

RE╌sipisçéntia ad-vitam est grátia-salvîfica, Act. 11.18. quâ, peccátor, e-vero peccáti-sui sensu, Act. 2.37, 38. ac apprehensióne divìnae in-Christo misericórdiae, Joel 2.12. Jer. 3.22. dolens, Jer. 31.18, 19, ac perósus peccátum-suum, Ezek. 36.31. ab-illo ad-deum convértitur, cum-pleno-propósito, & conátu novae-obediéntiae, 2 Cor. 7.11. Isa. 1.16, 17.
