not at all: for then how could God judge the world?

because the effect of the law is punishment: for if there had been no law, there could have been no transgression.

God having sent his own son invested with a body like that of sinful men, as a sacrifice for sin, thereby destroyed its power; which the law could not effect, human nature being in such a corrupted state.

for I could wish to be as one anathematiz'd from the christian church for my brethren, who are of the same race as my self,

as it is written, "God hath given them up to a state of insensibility, so that their eyes could not see, and their ears could not hear."

if I could by any means excite the emulation of my dear countrymen, in order to save some.
