1To this I answer, that the Law is given to this end, to show us our weakness, and to lead us unto Christ: it is not given us to keep exactly, for that is impossible: it was impossible to keep it through the weakness of the flesh, Rom. 8.3. the Law was therefore given that we might know our weakness; not that we should keep it, but that Christs righteousness might be fulfilled ⟨p. 67⟩in us by faith. Gal. 3.24. the Law is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified through faith, that is the end of •he Law.
