A Disputation betwixt the Law and the Gospel.

The Law saith,

  • Pay thy Debt.
  • Thou art a desperate sinner.
  • Thou shalt die.

The Gospel saith,

  • Christ hath paid it.
  • Thy sins are forgiven thee.
  • Be of good comfort, thou art saved.

The Law saith,

  • Make amends for thy sin.
  • The Father of heaven is wrath with thee.
  • Where is thy righteousnesse, goodnesse and satisfaction?
  • Thou art bound and obliged unto me, the devil and hell.

The Gospel saith,

  • Christ hath made it for thee.
  • Christ hath pacified him with his Blood.
  • Christ is thy righteousnesse, goodnesse, & satisfaction.
  • Christ hath delivered thee from them all.
