But not only the malediction of every one that is hanged upon a Tree is held forth, but also Christs redemption of us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us is both held forth and foretold, Deut. 21.23.
The Minor is the Apostles, as appeareth by the causal particle, For, who proveth the fore-going part of the Text (which is his answer to the objection raised, as we saw before out of vers. 10. namely, Christ hath redeemed, &c.) by the following part, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth upon a tree. If those words, Gal. 3.13. Cursed is every one that hangeth upon a tree, and that Text Deut. 21.23. have both but one and that the same one sense, what then hinders that the foregoing part of the verse, namely, redemption of us from the curse of the Law by being made a curse for us, is true of every one that was hanged upon a tree in Judea from Moses time until the passion of Christ inclusively, the latter words containing in them a proof of the former, as we saw just now from the causative particle, For. Then which inference what is more abominable?
