The safety of appearing at the day of judgement, in the righteousness of Christ

But God has by his practice, clearly given us ⟨p. 39⟩this interpretation of the curse of the Law; God himself has provided a Mediator for us, and inflicted the punishment of our sins on him: which shows it is no ways contradictory to his law so to do: such a proceeding is agreeable to the law, otherwise Go? would never have had an hand in it; God has showed us how the law is to be understood in executing it on Jesus Christ, and it is very unreasonable to think, that there should be any thing in the law to hinder our salvation by Jesus Christ; for this way of salvation has been decreed by God before the world, 1 Pet. 1.20. he was foreordained before the foundation of the world; and certainly he would never make such a law as should overthrow his decree: the law must be so understood, as not to cross his everlasting purposes of saving sinners by Christ; the Apostle argues, that the covenant of grace could not be disannulled by the law of Moses, which was given four hundred and thirty years after, Gal. 3.17. so I may argue, that the everlasting purpose of God to save us by the sufferings of Christ, cannot be disannulled by a law that was made in time, and therefore that law must be so understood, as not to cross that design.
