Q. 8. What is the third Inference?
A. That it is impossible for the covenant of works to justify any one. Rom. 3.20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight. Rom. 8.3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin condemned sin in the flesh.
Q. 9. What is the last Inference?
A. What cause have we to bless God for Christ, who recovered us when the Fall left us helpless? Rom. 5.6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
