Object. “Do we then make void the law,” (Rom. 3:31.) leaving an imputation of dishonour upon it, as a disregarded path, by pretending to return another way?
Answ. Sinners, being united to Christ by faith, return, being carried back the same way they came; only their own feet never touch the ground, but the glorious Mediator, sustaining the persons of them all, walked every bit of the road exactly, Gal. 4:5. Thus, in Christ, the way of free grace, and of the law, sweetly meet together; and through faith we establish the law.
