Part 1. CHAPTER XXIII.
James Dodson
Q. What sort of doing the Law requireth?
The Scripture is clear, that consummate, and continued in doing to the end is required by the Law. Paul interpreting Moses, Deut.27:26; Gal. 3:10. Cursed be everyone, ὁς ἐκ ἐμμένοι ὀν πᾶσι, who continueth not in all that are written in the Law to do them. Deut. 27:26. Cursed is he who shall not confirm. It is a word they use in enacting of Laws, when we say, Be it statuted and ordained: the word in Piel is three times in the Book of Esther, to ordain by a Law, Which clearly saith that the Covenant of Works was a work of justice and such a time God set to Adam, so as to the end he was to run it out, but how long he was a viator or traveler in his course of obedience no man knows.[1]
