Object. But Christ saith, he came not to destroy the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfil them; and that not one jot or tittle of the Law shall pass away till all be fulfilled.
Answ. The whole Moral Law Christ hath fulfilled in our Nature, for us, and in our stead, in his Life: And by his Death, he hath antitypically fulfilled all the Prophecies concerning himself in reference to such things; and hath abolished the Ceremonial Law also; for till then not a tittle of that could pass away.
Is a fulfilling the Law a destroying it? Besides, all simple moral Precepts of the Law (as in Christ's hand) stand firm for ever; therefore he came not to destroy the Law: yet is he the end of it for Righteousness to every one that believeth; 1tho as a Rule of Life in his hands, it obligeth them perpetually.
