That there is no other way for sinners to be justified from the curse of the law in the sight of God, than by the imputation of that righteousness long ago performed by, and still residing with, the person of Jesus Christ.

The terms of this proposition are easy; yet if it will help, I will speak a word or two for explication.

1, By sinner, I mean one that has transgressed the law; for "sin is the trangression of the law," 1 John 3:4.

2. By the curse of the law, I mean that sentance, judgement, or condemnation which the law pronounceth against the transgressor, Gal. 3:10.

3. By justifying righteousness, I mean that which stands in the doing and suffering of Christ when he was in the world: Rom. 5:19.

4. By the residing of this righteousness in Christ's person, I meaan, it still abides with him as to the action, though the benefit is bestowed upon those that are his.

5. By the imputation of it to us, I mean God's making of it ours by an act of his grace, that we by it might be secured from the curse of the law.

6. When I say there is no other wea to be justified, I cast away to that end the law, and all the works of the law as done by us.
