## COMMENTARIUS IN DISTINCTIONEM XL. ### De distinctione duorum praeceptorum, in quibus prohibetur duplex concupiscentia, in comparatione ad Legis et Evangelii differentiam.
Sextum praeceptum est etc.
DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra determinavit Magister de distinctione mandatorum Decalogi quantum ad praecepta primae tabulae et quantum ad praecepta secundae, quae attenduntur circa opera exteriora, et de obliquitatibus, quae habent cum eis oppositionem et repugnantiam. In hac vero tertia parte determinat de distinctione duorum praeceptorum, in quibus prohibet Dominus duplicem concupiscentiam, in comparatione ad Legis et Evangelii differentiam. Dividitur autem ista pars in tres particulas. In prima ponit praedictorum mandatorum distinctionem. In secunda vero, quia in praedictis mandatis Lex vetus videtur convenire cum nova, inquirit Legis et Evangelii differentiam, ibi: Sed cum hic prohibeatur concupiscentia alienae uxoris etc. In tertia vero breviter decem mandata praedeterminata epilogat, ibi: Audistis decem psalterii chordas etc. Partium autem subdivisio et sententia satis manifesta est in littera.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Ad intelligentiam autem huius partis incidit hic quaestio de differentia novae Legis et veteris, circa quam tria quaeruntur secundum triplicem differentiam, quae consuevit assignari.
Primo quaeritur de differentia, quae assignatur penes radicem.
Secundo de differentia, quae assignatur penes effectum.
Tertio vero de differentia, quae assignatur penes exercitium sive onus annexum.
ARTICULUS UNICUS.
De differentia novae Legis et veteris.
## COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XL. ### On the distinction of the two precepts, in which a twofold concupiscence is forbidden, in comparison to the difference between the Law and the Gospel.
The sixth precept is, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above, the Master determined concerning the distinction of the commandments of the Decalogue as to the precepts of the first table and as to the precepts of the second, which regard outward works, and concerning the perversities which have opposition and repugnance to them. But in this third part he determines concerning the distinction of the two precepts, in which the Lord forbids a twofold concupiscence, in comparison to the difference between the Law and the Gospel. Now this part is divided into three particulars. In the first he sets forth the distinction of the aforesaid commandments. But in the second, because in the aforesaid commandments the old Law seems to agree with the new, he inquires into the difference between the Law and the Gospel, there: But since here the concupiscence of another's wife is forbidden, etc. But in the third he briefly recapitulates the ten commandments already determined, there: You have heard the ten strings of the psaltery, etc. Now the subdivision and meaning of the parts is sufficiently manifest in the text.
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
Now for the understanding of this part there falls here a question concerning the difference between the new Law and the old, about which three things are asked according to the threefold difference which is wont to be assigned.
First, it is asked concerning the difference which is assigned with respect to the root.
Second, concerning the difference which is assigned with respect to the effect.
Third, concerning the difference which is assigned with respect to the exercise, or the burden attached.
