A view of the threats and punishments recorded in the Scriptures, alphabetically composed with some briefe observations upon severall texts / by Zachary Bogan ...

Law righteousnesse

Such as trust to it, are thus threatened: Christ is become of none effect to you. Whoso∣ever of you are juistified* 1.1 by the law, ye are fal∣len from Grace, Gal: 5. 4.

Are justified] It is spoken, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 as Beza says; or it is a Hebraisme, viz: for SAY, you are justified: for justified indeed, the Jewes, (or any other) could not be; other∣wise it had been no threat (as the Apostle delivers it ver. 3.) to be a Debtour to doe the whole Law; and yet they both thought they could, & boasted, that they were able: which opinion, and boasting, of theirs, was as false, and vaine, as the present opinion of the Rab∣bines, that whosoever professeth Judaisme, let him live how he will, shall have a portion in the world to come.

Notes

• * 1.1

  Grotius, upon this place thus speakes, qui ••â justitiâ contenti estis, quā lex produ∣cere potest, quae justi∣tia est car∣nalis, & praemia ha bet terre∣na. I doe not con∣clude from this; but I feare, he was of the number of those, of whom Beza upon this place complaines, qui Som∣niabant, sese suae justiciae suorúmque meritor••m plenos ad deum accedere, Christo quasi siquid ipsis deesset supplente, &c: see Ri∣vet, Apologet. Sect. 34: and his Grot: Disc: Dialysis, Sect: 3. and as he speaks here, of Meriting temporall rewards, by our owne righte∣ousnesse: so had he an opinion of, redeeming temporall punishments, by our owne satisfaction: se Dialys. Sect. 7. He made both the righ∣teousnesse, and satisfaction of our Saviour, but helpes.
