Question 99 — Of the Precepts of the Old Law

We must now consider the precepts of the Old Law; and (1) how they are distinguished from one another; (2) each kind of precept. Under the first head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the Old Law contains several precepts or only one?

  • (2) Whether the Old Law contains any moral precepts?
  • (3) Whether it contains ceremonial precepts in addition to the moral precepts?
  • (4) Whether besides these it contains judicial precepts?
  • (5) Whether it contains any others besides these?
  • (6) How the Old Law induced men to keep its precepts.
