The law rightly understood
“The law, rightly understood and thoroughly comprehended, does nothing more than remind us of our sin and slay us by it, and make us liable to eternal wrath … The law is not kept by man’s power, but solely through Christ who pours the Holy Spirit into our hearts. To fulfil the law … is to do its works with pleasure and love … [which are] put into the heart by the Holy Ghost.”
"God hath been faithful in doing great things for you; be faithful in this one, do your utmost for the preaching of the gospel in Ireland ...the land mourneth, and the people perish for want of knowledge." John Owen, addressing the House of Commons, February 1650
