If "things in the Judicial law which are unchangeable, and common to all Nations" should be considered conditioned by Gillespie's Proposition 41 (of 111) that
"41. The orthodox churches believe also, and do willingly
acknowledge, that every lawful magistrate, being by God himself
constituted the keeper and defender of both tables of the law,
may and ought first and chiefly to take care of God's glory, and
(according to his place, or in his manner and way) to preserve
religion when pure, and to restore it when decayed and corrupted:
and also to provide a learned and godly ministry, schools also
and synods, as likewise to restrain and punish as well atheists,
blasphemers, heretics and schismatics, as the violaters of justice
and civil peace" and similar statements in Wholesome Severity, so that by such "things" he should be interpreted as meaning "things in the Judicial law which are unchangeable (because moral), and, unlike expired laws peculiar to the State of Israel e.g. the Year of Jubilee law and the Cities of Refuge laws and the boundaries of the tribes laws, are capable of being made common to all Nations," then, yes.
If "things in the Judicial law which are unchangeable, and common to all Nations" is somehow to be interpreted as contrary to WCF 19.4, where "general equity" has been shown by the discussion above to be of a piece with the moral law, and not human application, then, no.
