Do we make void the law through' Faith, God forbid: 1Yea we establish the law: In that by Christ's Obedience to the Law, or by his perfect active Obedience, and Death, apprehended by Faith we are Justified, and the Law for ever silenced: Christ having satisfied the Justice of God, broke the Thunders of the Law, and dissolved the frame of all its Anathema's: He being made a Curse for us, 2he hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law: He hath abolished the Obligation of the Moral Law as to its Condemning Power, and hath by his blood sealed another Covenant, a New-Covenant, a better Covenant: the first hath been perfectly kept, and the sentence of it hath been undergone;3 and its killing power is taken away to all that are in Christ Jesus. And thus, see how the Law is magnified, lifted up, and made Honourable: i. e. rather then that shall loose any of its Honour, the Son of God will become Man and answer all its Demands, in doing, and suffering what we ought to have done, and suffered, and for our default must have endured for ever.
