Rom. ii. 14.^ For when the X}entiles, which have not the law, do by nature the thiugs contained m the law, these having not the law, are a law unto themselves : Ver. 15.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin : and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Ver. 19.

GaL iii. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse : for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Ver. 12. And the law is not of faith : but the man that doeth them shall live in them. Ecd. vii. 29.
