Light for them that sit in darkness, or, A discourse of Jesus Christ, and that he undertook to accomplish by himself the eternal redemption of sinners also, that the Lord Jesus addressed himself to this work, with undeniable demonstrations that he performed the same : objections to the contrary answered / by John Bunyan.

Should an Angel assume human Flesh, and in that Flesh do the Law, this Righteousness would not redeem a Sinner, it would be but the Righteousness of an Angel, and so, far short of such a Righteousness as can secure a Sinner from the Wrath of God. But thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy Soul, with all thy Heart, with all thy Mind, with all thy Strength. If there was no more required of us, now to redeem our selves, it would be utterly impossible for us to ⟨p. 62⟩do it, because in the best there is sin, which will intermix it self with every duty of Man. This being so, all the Heart, all the Soul, all the Strength, and all the Mind, to the exact requirement of the Justice of the Law, can never be found in a Natural Man.
Besides, For this Work there is required a perfect Memory, always to keep in mind the whole Duty of Man, the whole of every tittle of all the Law, lest sin come in by forgetfulness.
