V. The ceremonial law was abrogated through Christ's cross, death, resurrection, ascension, and the sending of the Spirit—by the sun driving away the shadows and the body succeeding into their place.

It is abrogated as to the necessity of observing it, every right of obligation being taken away at once; and by this it ceases to be living and is dead. It was abolished in fact partly by the Apostles' teaching and partly by God's destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. From then those ceremonies became deadly which had been tolerable only among Jews in the intervening space (Col. 2:11-17; Gal. 4:9-10; Acts 16:3; 21:22-24).

CHAPTER NINE follows, On the forensic law.

Latin

V. Abrogata est lex cerimonialis per Christi crucem, mortem, resurrectionem, ascensionem in coelos & missionem Spiritus; per umbrarum a sole depulsionem & corporis earum locum successionem. Abrogata est quantum ad necessitatem observandi, omni iure obligandi simul & semel adempto; et hoc ipso viva esse desinit & mortua est. Abolenda fuit ipso facto partim per doctrinam Apostolorum, partim per potentiam Dei in destructione Hierosolymorum & templi. Ex quo tempore ceremoniae illae coeperunt esse mortiferae quae intermedio spatio fuerunt tolerabiles inter Judaeos duntaxat. Vide Col. 2:11-17; Gal. 4:9-10; Acts 16:3; 21:22-24; Gal. 2:3, 11-12. CAPUT NONUM sequitur, De lege forensi.
