When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his only Son made of a woman, and made under the Law, that he might redeem them which were under the Law: the meaning is this, look how we were under the Law, so was Christ under the Law for us, that so he might redeem those that were under the Law; the Law laid guilt to our charge, and the Law did condemn us, and the Lord Christ was content to be under all that commanding, revenging authority, which the Law had over us, so that now Christ is come into the room of all the faithful: hence is that speech of Luther, which the Papists so ⟨p. 175⟩much cavil at; he saith our Saviour was the greatest sinner of all the faithful that ever was upon the face of the earth, not that he had any sin of his own inherent in him, or committed by him, but because all the sins of all the world were charged upon him, and Christ put himself into the room of all the world, that look whatsoever the Law required of any, the same it required of him; and what the Law accounted of any, it accounted the same of him.
