Exodus25:1

1 AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Having delivered the Moral and Judicial Laws, he now comes to the Ceremonial Law, wherein he sets down all things very minutely and particularly, whereas in the other Laws he was content to lay down general rules, and leaveth many other things to be by analogy deduced from them. The reason of the difference seems to be this, That the light of reason implanted in all men gives him greater help in the discovery of Moral and Judicial things, then in Ceremonial matters, or in the external way and manner of Gods Worship; which is a thing depending wholly upon Gods institution, and not left to mans invention, which is a very incompetent Judge of those things, as appears from hence, because the wittiest men destitute of Gods revelation have been guilty of most foolery in their devices of Gods Worship.
