¶ Of the abolishing of the lavve of Moyses, and of the olde Testament, and of the things vvhich ought to be considered therin.

:404p. 183§23

T. I Have well understood all this, but I do think, that I have also heard say that the whole law of Moses was abolished. And in like sort I have heard say that we have now no more to do neither with Moses his law, nor any part of the old Testament, but with Jesus Christ & his gospel. Wherefore I would gladly know of thee if this law of decalogue be also abolished or no, or whether we be yet subject unto it, or ells that we be clearly free from it, and how we ought to think of it. And then I do think that it shall be more easy for me afterward to understand, if the distinction of the law of rigour and of grace (of the which we have lately spoken) be any thing meet in such a matter, and how we ought to use both the one and the other. D. Beside those things whereof we have already spoken, we must note if we will well understand this matter, that this abolishing must be considered in two sorts. The one concerning the transgression, the other the fulfilling of the law. The transgression ¹bringeth with it the wrath and curse of God upon yt transgressor, and maketh every man subject to that curse and wrath. The mean to be delivered, is by faith, by the which we embrace Jesus Christ with all the good gifts that are in him, now it is written that he would become subject to the law, to deliver from subjection of the law those that be subject thereunto: and that he being hanged upon a tree, was made accursed for us, bearing upon himself the curse ²
