1In the faith which we have in Christ, & in Gods promises, find we mercy, life, favour, & peace. In the law we find death, damnation and wrath, moreover the curse and vengeance of God upon us. And it (that is to say, the law) is called of Paul, the ministration of death and damnation. In the law we are proved to be the enemies of God, and that we hate him. For how can we be at peace with God, and love him, seeing we are conceived and borne under the power of the Devil, and are his possession & kingdom, his captives and bondmen, and led at his will, and he holdeth our hearts, so that it is impossible for us to consent to the will of God? Much more is it impossible for a man to fulfil the law of his own strength and power, seeing that we are by birth and nature the heirs of the eternal damnation. &c.
