2. The Law giveth strength to sin, in regard of the obligation of it, it bindeth over a sinner to the curse and wrath of God; God hath made a righteous Law, which must have satisfaction, and till the Law be satisfied, we hear no news but of a curse, and that maketh Death to be full of horrors, *there ⟨p. 5⟩remaineth nothing but a fearful expectation of the fiery indignation of the Lord. 3 It augmenteth and increaseth sin by forbidding it; lusts are exasperated and rage upon a restraint, as the yoke maketh the young bullock more unruly. Now put all together and you will understand the force of the expression, The strength of sin is the Law, the Discovery of the Law stoppeth the sinners mouth, and the curse of the Law shutteth him up and holdeth him fast, unto the judgement of the great day, by which restraint, sin groweth the more raging and furious all which put together, make Death terrible, not an end of misery, but a door to open into Hell.
