In the affair of justification, the law as a covenant of works, is not only to be distinguished, but to be separated from the gospel. When a true believer is, at any time, in doubt of his justification and title to eternal life, he ought to set the law as a covenant and the works of that law, entirely aside; and to rely anew, for all his title to life eternal, on the spotless righteousness of the second Adam, offered to him in the gospel. He ought in that case, to contemplate only, the free and superabounding grace of the gospel, and to embrace, by the renewed exercise of an appropriating faith, the gracious offers and promises of it.
