Thirdly, we are delivered from the curse of the Law, 1Christ being made a curse for us, and the chastisement of our peace being laid on him. From punishments eternal, He hath delivered us from the wrath to come, and from punishments Temporal, as formal punishments. When we are judged of the Lord, we are chastened, but we are not condemned; they are for declaration of Gods displeasure, but not of his fury or vengeance; they are to amend us, and not to consume us; blows2 that polish us for the Temple and conform us unto our Head, and wean us from the world, not tastes and forerunners of further wrath. They are like Jobs dunghill set up to see a Redeemer upon. And besides this, as Sons of promise we are blessed with faithful Abraham, have interest in that precious virtue of the Gospel which makes all things work together for the best to those that love God.
