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.

2. An actual Curse, or a Curse for all actual Sin which remains upon all whilst they abide under the Law:1 for as many as are for the Works of the Law, are under the Curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things that are ⟨p. 17⟩written in the Book of the Law to do them. Thus by our actual Sins we were brought also under this Curse, is evident.
Obj. But doth not Paul say, Christ hath redeemed us from the Curse of the Law?
Ans. 1. It appears such whom he hath redeemed, &c. were once under it; and if they were delivered before they believed, 'tis necessary that such who assert that, should assign the time when they were delivered. Paul tells the Saints when they were delivered from Sin, Guilt, and the Curse;1 being then made free from Sin: Then, when? why, when they believed, and received Christ and his holy Doctrine, and obeyed it from the Heart.
