2. Another cries thus, Oh I know not what will become of me, the Law is mine enemy, I have transgressed the Law, and it speaks terribly, ¹cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the Law to do them: Oh I have offended the Law, and I am under the curse.

1. 1Gal. 3.10.

Say not so, for by the death of Christ, though the Law be broken, yet the curse is removed; the Apostle is clear, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law, ¹being made a curse for us; he was made a curse for us, (i.e.) the fruits and effects of God's curse, the punishment due to sinners, the penal curse which justice required, was laid upon Christ, and by this means we are freed from the curse of the Law. It is true, that without Christ thou art under this Law, Do, or Die, end if thou offendest in the least kind thou shalt perish for ever, the curse of the Law is upon thee to the uttermost; but on the other side, if thy claim be right to the blood of Christ, thou art freed from penalty; not but that we may be corrected and chastised, but what is that to the eternal curse which the Law pronounceth against every sin? we are freed from the curse, or damnatory ⟨p. 400⟩sentence of the Law,² There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus; the Law is satisfied, and the bond is cancelled by our Surety Christ. O what comfort is this?
