For if righteousness cometh by the law, then died Christ in vain.1 But we know, sayeth the Apostle, that a man is not justified by the deeds of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. ⟨p. 400⟩And we have believed on Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ: and not by the deeds of the law, because by the deeds of the law, no flesh sha• be justified. Again: as many o• you as are justified by the law, a• fallen from grace. We look for and hope in the spirit to be justified through faith.2 For in Christ Jesu• neither is circumcision any thing worth, nether yet uncircumcision but faith, which worketh by love▪ Comfort your self, neighbour E••paphroditus, against the assaults of Satan with these sweet sayings of the holy scripture, and s• shall nether the fear nor the curse of the law hurt you.3
