1The Sophisters and Schoolmen do spoil us of this knowledge of Christ and most heavenly comfort (namely that Christ was made a Curse, to the end he might deliver us from the Curse of the law) when they separate him from sins and sinners, and only set him out unto us as an example to be followed. By this means they make Christ,2 not only unprofitable unto us, but also a Judge and a Tyrant, which is angry with our sins and condemneth sinners. But we must as well wrap Christ and know him to be wrapped in our sins, in our malediction, in our death, and in all our evils, ⟨p. 130⟩as he is wrapped in our flesh and in our blood.
