That Law was abundantly able to justify, but the lapsed Nature of man was not able to keep it; what defect there was, lay in the humane Nature, not in the divine Law. The Law was weak, ¹but how? through the flesh: If fallen man ⟨p. 145⟩could have fulfilled the Law, the Law, as considered in its self, and its first institution could have justified him: Christ therefore, when he comes into the world, destroys not that which was perfect, but repairs, ²and perfects that which was weak; and that he did, by taking the humane nature into the same Personality with the divine Nature, by a supernatural Conception in the Womb of the Virgin.³
