Another Argument.
There are also many other Scriptures, which they have wrested abominably for the defence of their Opinion about Inherent Righteousness. As for example, where the Lord says, That he came not to destroy 1the Law, but to fulfil it: Hence they infer, that all that would be saved, must of necessity keep the Law. That I may answer this Objection, I acknowledge that saying of ⟨p. 416⟩the Lord to be very true, and I know what he professed in words, he performed in the practice of his Life: For he came not to destroy the Law, but perfectly 2to fulfil it, and that not so much upon his own account, as upon ours. But it is not therefore a right consequence, which they draw from an ill formed Argument.
