11 The binding authority in the law laying on the sinner an obligation to do and act, is different from the binding power of the law to suffer punishment, for transgressing of the law. The former agreeth to the Law simply, as it is a Law: the latter agreeth to the Law a• it is violated and disobeyed. 2, The former is eternal & urgeth the believer, unbeliever, before the fall. after the fall, in the life to come, the latter is removed in Christ, to all those that are in Christ, for the law fully satisfied, neither condemneth, nor can it condemn to eternal suffering, for Christs passive obedience removeth all possibility of our passive obedience for sin in a satisfactory way.
