The Law hath its use under the Gospel; by it we come to the knowledge of sin, Rom. 3. 20, and 5. 20; by it we are convinced ⟨p. 166⟩of our misery, that by sin we have deserved death and damnation, Rom. 7. 10. that we might see the necessity of Christ, and hasten the more to him, Gal. 3. 24. It serveth for a rule to direct us in our walking, and for a glass in which we see the imperfection of our duty and obedience, that we might not rest in them, nor trust unto them for life and salvation.
