2. His other Text [Christ redeemed us from the Curse of the Law] proveth indeed that all Believers are redeemed from the Curse of the first Law of Innocency, and the Jews from the Curse of Moses Law (which is it that is directly meant): But what's that to prove that these words speak the whole and the only Justification? and that the Scripture mentioneth no other?
§. 4. He addeth, [Lex est quae prohibet; Lex quae poenam decernit; Lex quae irrogat: Peccatum est transgressio Legis: Poena effectus istius trangressionis; Justificatio denique absolutio ab ista poena: Itaque ⟨p. 143⟩c•m Lex nisi praestita nenimem Justificat, & praestitam omnes in Christo agnoscunt, aut Legalis erit omnis JUstificatio coram Deo, aut omnino nulla].
Answ. 1. But doth he know but one sort of Law of God? Hath every Man incurred the Curse by Moses Law that did by Adams? Or every Man fallen under the peremptory irreversible condemnation which the Law of Grace passeth on them that never believe and repent? Doth this Law, [He that believeth not shall be damned] damn Believers? One Law condemneth all that are not Innocent. Another supposeth them under that defect, and condemneth peremptorily (not every Sinner) but the Wicked and Unbelievers.
