Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 18:5

5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them : I am the LORD.

Not onely happily here, but also eternally hereafter, as it is expounded, Mat. 19. 17. Rom. 10. 5. This is added as a powerful argument why they should follow Gods commands rather than mens examples, because their life and happiness depends upon the one▪ not the other. And though in strictness and according to the law or covenant of works they could not challenge life [illegible: 1+ letters]or doing, except their obedience was universal, perfect, constant and perpetual, and therefore no man since the fall could be justified by the law, as the Apostle affirms and proves, Rom. 4. and Gal. 3. yet by the covenant of grace this life is promised to all that obey Gods commands sincerely, though not perfectly, 1 Tim. 4. 8.
