Believers obey the Law legally in their Surety,1 because in him we obey the Precept, [Do this] Levit. 18.5.] and satisfied the curse, [Thou shalt dye,] Gen. 2.17. The believer hath satisfied the Law in Christ through faith; in whom we are endued with that righteousness which the Law requireth, Rom. 8.4. and 10.4.
