Q 9. What is the first Inference from hence?
A. That Justification by our own Works is utterly impossible to the holiest of Men, Gal. 2.16. —For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Psal. 130.3. If thou Lord, shouldst mark iniquities: O Lord, who shall stand?
Q. 10. What's the second Inference from hence?
A. Hence we learn what an infinite Mercy it is, that God sent Jesus Christ made under the Law, Gal. 4.4, 5. But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his son made of a woman, made under the law, &c. To do that for us we could never do for our selves, Rom. 8.3, 4. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak th•ough the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
