To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Stephen happily calleth them oracula viva, lively oracles : not that they did give life, for Paul showeth that the law was the ministration of death ; but lively words, as uttered by lively voice, not of men or angels, as other Scripture, but immediately thundered out by God himself. Secondly, Because God himself wrote them after a more special manner : he did use men and means in penning the gospels and epistles, and other parts of sacred writ: "for holy men of God wrote as they were moved by ...the Spirit of God :" (as the Fathers observe) they were the pens of God's own finger ; but in setting down the Decalogue God's own finger was the pen, he made the tables also wherein they were first written, that there might be nothing in them, but only God's immediate work. Since then God had such special regard in delivering the law, we must hence learn with all humble reverence to receive the same. If king Eglon' a barbarous tyrant respected Ehud a man of mean quality, when he brought a message from the Lord ; how much more should we with awful respect embrace the Decalogue, which God in his own person uttered ?
