Q. Is there any use of the Law to a Christian?
A. Although it be abolished to a Christian in Christ, as a Covenant of life; (for so Adam and his posterity are still under it) yet it remains as a rule of life, when he is in Christ, ⟨p. 14⟩and to prepare the heart for Christ, Rom. 6. 14, 15. Ma•. •. 17, 18, 19, 20. Ezech. 10. 11. Rom. 9.
Q. Why is not a Christian so under the Law as a Covenant of life, so as if he breaks it by the least sin he shall die for it?
A. Because Jesus Christ hath kept it perfectly for him, Rom. 8. 3, 4. Rom. 5. 20, 21.
