Colquhoun on the Law and Gospel, pp. 166, 167. Thus also Patrick Hamilton, the Scotch reformer, writes—‘The law shows us our sin—the gospel shows us a remedy for it. The law shows us our condemnation—the gospel shows us our redemption. The law is the word of ire—the gospel is the word of grace. The law is the word of despair—the gospel is the word of comfort. The law is the word of disquietude—the gospel is the word of peace.’ Patrick’s Places—with a short preface by the martyr John Frith. See also Bradford’s view of this subject. Fathers of English Church, vi. 389, 390.
