An. This great question needeth distincter handling: Adam's Law doth not justify us, but condemn us, nor Moses's neither; nor any but the Law of Grace. Your foundation is unsound. 2. The imputing of Christ's Suffering, is not Gods Language, but your own, and may be well or ill understood. 3. If the Law have nothing against us, it hath no Sin of Omission against us: Therefore not our omission of Love and Obedience. And then we are reputed such as had perfect Love and Obedience. 4. But indeed it is not so. By the deeds of the Law no Flesh can be justified: The Law still hath this against us, that we have sinned; which he that denieth is called a Liar, 1 Joh. 1. The Reatus Culpae in se, or the Reality of this, that we have sinned, is impossible to be done away. But the Reatus poenae, & culpae ut ad poenam is done away: But not by the Law, but by the Redeemer and new Covenant. The Law doth not say, We are sinless, or deservers of life: But the Gospel saith, We are pardoned, and adopted, and sanctified, through Christ's perfect meritorious Righteousness.
