X. The morall lawe, touching the substance, vvas not to be disanulled by Christ.
For we know and believe that the law, touching the substance, and those wholesome uses, of which we speak, was not to be abolished by Christ, and so not abolished at all: but only touching the curse and condemnation: because there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, 1which walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. But yet the law was profitable even in the condemnation, and always is, to them which are not yet in Christ: in as much as it driveth them to Christ, that they may avoid condemnation.
