8 Then he compareth every thing by it self by piecemeal, where also you may find a good and substantial comparison between the Law and the Gospel: The old, is literal, because it was published without the effectual working of the spirit: the new is spiritual, ⟨image 86⟩which the Lord hath spiritually engraven in the hearts of men. The old law is deadly, because it can do nothing but wrap mankind within the curse. The new is the instrument of life, because it delivereth from the curse and restoreth into favour with GOD. The old law is the ministry of damnation, because it condemneth all Adams children of unrighteousness. The new is the ministry of righteousness because it revealeth the mercy of God by which we are made righteous.
