                      The Precepts of the Old Law 
                         
                          We next have to consider the precepts 
                          of the Old Law—first, the distinction among the precepts 
                          (question 99) and, second, each of the distinct types 
                          of precepts (questions 100‑105).On 
                          the first topic there are six questions:  (1) Does 
                          the Old Law contain many precepts or just one precept?  
                          (2) Does the Old Law contain any moral precepts? (3) 
                          Does the Old Law contain ceremonial precepts in addition 
                          to the moral precepts?  (4) Does the Old Law contain 
                          judicial precepts in addition to the moral and ceremonial 
                          precepts?  (5) Does the Old Law contain any type 
                          of precept besides these three?  (6) How did the 
                          Old Law induce the observance of these precepts?
