And to the end that this might be done without any impeachment of his justice, he appointed a Mediator, who should perform all these things that were required.

3 Therefore, seeing to avoid the curse of the law, the law it self must be fulfilled by men, and this can by no means be performed by them: it behooved the Mediator to effect this work, and not to overpass the very least title of Gods Law.
