Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 3:24

24 Wherefore, the law was our school-master, to bring us unto Christ , that we might be justified by faith .

Both the Law contained in Ordinances, and the moral Law,

was our School-master; serving us in the same stead that a School-master in a School doth, who only fitteth children for higher degrees of learning at Universities. The Ceremonial Law shewed us Christ in all his Types and Sacrifices; the Moral Law, shewed us the absolute need of a Mediator, as it shewed us sin; accused and condemned us for it; and it shewed us no help either for the guilt of sin contracted, or against the power of it.

So that Gods end in giving us the law was that we might be fitted for Christ, and obtain Justification by believing in him.
