The executioner of this punishment is he that doth impose and inflict the same on man, & that also is God himself, as he testifieth of himself in the prophet ⟨p. 8⟩Isaiah, I make peace and create evil. Now evil is of three sorts:1 natural, moral, material. Natural evil, is the destruction of that order, which God set in every creature by the creation. Moral evil, is the want of that righteousness and virtue which the law requires at mans hands; & that is called sin. Material evil, is any matter or thing which in it self is a good creature of God, yet so, as by reason of mans fall, it is hurtful to the health & life of man, as henbane, wolfsbane, hemlock, & all other poisons are. Now this saying of Isaiah must not be understood of moral evils, but of such as are either material or natural: to the latter of which, death is to be referred, which is the destruction or abolishment of mans nature created.

Nowe euill is of three sorts:1 naturall, morall, material. Natural euill, is the destruction of that order, which God set in euery creature by the creation. Moral euill, is the want of that righteousnesse and vertue which the law requires at mans hands; & that is called sin. Material euill, is any matter or thing which in it selfe is a good creature of God, yet so, as by reasō of mans fall, it is hurtful to the health & life of man, as henbane, wolfebane, hemlock, & all other poisons are. Now this saying of Esai must not bee vnderstood of morall euils, but of such as are either materiall or naturall: to the latter of which, death is to be referred, which is the destruction or abolishment of mans nature created.
