Proposition 1. Since Adams fall, it is impossible for man to be justified by a perfect sinless Obedience of his own, (except Christ only:) and consequently impossible for him to be justified by the Law considered in that form and tenor as it was given to Adam: for all men are sinners; and that Law will justify no sinner.

Proposition 2. By the works of the Mosaical Law, no man can be justified. And therefore the Jews seek Righteousness where it is not to be found, while they think that pardon of sin and acceptance with God are to be obtained by the bare works of that Law: while they overlook or reject Christ who is the end of that Law for righteousness to every Believer Specially now that Law is Abrogated or ceased, it were a double error to expect Justification by its works.
Proposition 3. Much less can they be justified by the foresaid Law, who in stead of fulfilling it, do but falsely imagine that they fulfil it.
