she is Iodised' from the law dfto husband . " a Wherefore , " He « d ^ i •* my bi ^ eehreri , tfe also are becdrti ^ dead to the law by the body of Gh ¥ ist for /* says he , wh ^ n we vfGife fe tte& flesh /* ( i ; e . under the oartoaf dispensa ^

Thus it appears that the d ^ anh of Christ put attray sin by abolishing' the law , Which gave to sin its life and power , for without the law , sin is dead . But as the subject fa of gt-teat importance , and largely insisted on in the New Testament , vfre shall proeeed to a ftirther consideration of it ; ad
stated and illustrated in various other passages of Scripture . In those Scriptures , then , we are ittfdnried , that ** s& is the ttarisgr ^ ssidn of the \ tiw , and that •* Where there i * n& ltiw 9 there is no transgression ?* thfrt ; € < the strength of sin is the law , " ie ^ nd that ** without the law , sin is dead . * Pkiil ,
