But the grand Case remaineth, Whether we are justified by the Law of Innocency, by fulfilling it, and meriting in another, without any sort of doing of our own by our selves?
Mr. Wotton, Mr. Gataker, and abundance more, have long ago said much to confute your Error, besides Mr. Bradshaw, whom you name; But I add, I. I have before proved that by the deeds or sentence of the Law of Adam or Moses, no man can be justified: 1. He that hath sinned against it cannot be justified as not having sinned: For factum infectum fieri is impossible to God himself. 2. The Law that condemneth us doth not justify us. 3. What Paul, Rom. 3. & 4. frequently saith against Justification by the Law of Moses will hold here a fortiori: And Christ keeping Moses Law (as far as he was capable of Obligation) that also would else have been imputed, and so we should have been justified by that Law also; which the Scripture copiously denieth. He that saith, He hath no sin, deceiveth himself, and is a liar, and the truth is not in him. And the Law of Adam justifieth no man that hath sin.
