We must now consider each kind of precept of the Old Law: and (1) the moral precepts, (2) the ceremonial precepts, (3) the judicial precepts. Under the first head there are twelve points of inquiry:

A[1] Whether all the moral precepts of the Old Law belong to the law of nature?

A[2] Whether the moral precepts of the Old Law are about the acts of all the virtues?

A[3] Whether all the moral precepts of the Old Law are reducible to the ten precepts of the decalogue?

A[4] How the precepts of the decalogue are distinguished from one another?

A[5] Their number;

A[6] Their order;

A[7] The manner in which they were given;

A[8] Whether they are dispensable?

A[9] Whether the mode of observing a virtue comes under the precept of the Law?

A[10] Whether the mode of charity comes under the precept?

A[11] The distinction of other moral precepts;

A[12] Whether the moral precepts of the Old Law justified man?
