A medium betwixt two extremes wherein it is proved that the whole first Adam was condemned and the whole second Adam justified : being a sermon lately preached on Rom. 8:1 and now published to prevent the further controversy (in one main point) about justification : to which are added reflections on some passages in Mr. Clark's new book called Scripture-Justification / by Benjamin Keach.

1Fourthly, That the Elect as well as others, before Union, &c. are under the Curse of the Law, and Condemnation, appears, because Christ bore the Curse of the Law, and was condemned for them, or in their stead; if they were not under the Curse of the Law, Why did God lay Jesus Christ our Surety under the Curse thereof?2 Christ hath redeemed us from the Curse of the Law; being made a Curse for us. How redeemed from that which we were never under! Now there is a twofold Curse of the Law.
- 1The Elect were once under the Curse of the Law.
- 2Gal. 3.13.
1. An Original Curse in Adam; this past upon him (as I have proved) and upon all Men in him.
2.

Thus by our actual Sins we were brought also under this Curse, is evident.
