16. The Law made to Adam never said [either thou or another for thee shall obey;] but it bound man to perfect, perpetual, personal obedience.
17. Therefore that Law, as it obliged us, is not fulfilled by the obedience of Christ, but only as far as it obliged him; nor can any man be justified by it, as a fulfiller of it, by himself, or by another: nor did Christ fulfil it in any other mans person, though in his stead, so far as is aforesaid.
18. The Law doth not command any man since Adam, perfect, personal obedience, as the means or condition of life; nor promise any life on such a condition as is now naturally impossible: but though it be not repealed by God, is so far ceased, by the cessation of the subjects capacity to be so obliged.
19. The Laws obligation of us to punishment is dispensed with, and dissolved by a pardon purchased by our Mediator.
