Beza first Observed, that [Greek or Hebrew] was put for [Greek or Hebrew], in this place, as it is unquestionably in sundry others. If so, not an Assignation of a contrary effect unto the Law unto what was before denied, is intended; but the designation and expression of another Cause of the effecting of that which the Law could not effect. And the defective Speech is to be supplied by [Greek or Hebrew], made perfect; as we do it by did, that is, did make all things perfect. To the same purpose the Apostle expresseth himself in other words, Rom. 8. 3. For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the Flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. For the words are so to be supplied, what the Law could not do, that God did; which what it was, and how God did it, the following words declare. Thus God had designed to bring the Church unto a better state, a state of Comparative Perfection in this World. This the Law was not a means or Instrument suited unto: wherefore another way is fixed on to that End, which being completely effective of it, the Law was laid aside and disannulled as unprofitable.
