Punishments concerning the parts of man, be either miseries of his soul, or of his body: the miseries of his soul be these. First, in the understanding, Ignorance of Gods will. And in sundry, madness, and foolishness; and in all men pain and difficulty, both to learn & remember whatsoever is good, which was not in man by creation. In the conscience also, be accusations, secret fears, and terrors. In the will is, rebellion to Gods will: In all affections, perverseness. All which are miseries of the soul.

The body also hath these miseries. First, it is subject to all infirmities, sicknesses, diseases, and aches: which are so many, as all the books of Physicians neither do nor can record the same. Secondly, mans body is mortal, & subject to temporal death; which no man can possibly avoid or prevent by all the art and skill in the world.

Punishments of mans estate, concern either his goods, or calling. In goods there be these miseries; want of things necessary; for by reason of sin it is a punishment, & in it own nature a curse: and all the hurts that come by the creatures: for their enmity towards man, & towards one another; as also their subjection to vanity; all these be miseries, and the punishments of mans sin. In mans calling there is misery: for therein man is subject to trouble, to losses, and sorrow; which come as a punishment of mans first sin. And all these be the miseries of man in this life.
