But now being in Christ, Christ hath freed you: from the curses of the law, and that by bearing this curse for you: as the Apostle, 1Gal. 3.13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law, by being made a curse for us: he doth not only say by bearing the curse for us, but by being made a curse for us. For it is written; Cursed is every one that hangeth on the tree. And this is another benefit flows from it. You are freed from the Law as a Covenant, and so from the curse of the Law, the Law cannot pass sentence upon you, it cannot condemn you. 1. You are not to be tried in that court. 2. Christ hath satisfied it to the full.
