CHAPTER EIGHT.On the ceremonial law.
After the moral law follows the CEREMONIAL, which is an ordinance of God containing precepts concerning the external worship of God to be observed in the Old Testament Church, for signifying, prefiguring, and sealing the promised good, and for preserving the sworn order in ecclesiastical assemblies and actions.
By this law God's Church in the Old Testament was governed as an infant and a girl under elemental mysteries (Gal. 4:1-3; Heb. 8:5; 10:1; Col. 2:14, 11).
