Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 3:31

31. Do we then make void the law through faith ? God forbid: yea, we establish the law .

A very material Objection is here to be Anticipated and Answered, viz. That by Establishing Justification, by Faith alone the Law is rendred useless, and the Obligation thereto destroy'd.

Having rejected this Objection, by his usual Note of Abhorrency, he proceeds to shew, That nothing more Establisheth the Law, in as much as by Faith we attain a perfect Righteousness, we are intere[illegible: 1 letter]sed in the most compleat Obedience of Christ to the Moral Law; and that hereby every Type, Promise, and Prophecy is Fulfill'd, vid. Mat. 5.17. Luk. 16.17. And we our selves also, being Enabled thereunto by a Gospel-Spirit, have a more exact Conformity to the Law, though we cannot reach to a Fulfilling of it.
