  • , passage=To whom thus Michael. Doubt not but that sin
    Will reign among them, as of thee begot;
    And therefore was law given them, to evince
    Their natural pravity , by stirring up
    Sin against law to fight: that when they see
    Law can discover sin, but not remove,
    Save by those shadowy expiations weak,
    The blood of bulls and goats, they may conclude
    Some blood more precious must be paid for Man;
    Just for unjust; that, in such righteousness
    To them by faith imputed, they may find
    Justification towards God, and peace
    Of conscience; which the law by ceremonies
    Cannot appease; nor Man the mortal part
    Perform; and, not performing, cannot live.}}
