Guilt is the Demerit of sin, binding and subjecting the person in whom it is to undergo all the punishments legally due the reunto. This Demerit is founded not only in the Constitution, Will, and Power of God over his own Creatures, of whom he may justly require whatsoever obedience he giveth power to perform, but in the nature of his own Holiness and Justice, which in sin is violated and turned from: and this Guilt is after a sort Infinite, because it springeth out of the aversion from ⟨p. 263⟩an Infinite Good, the violation of an infinite Holiness and Justice, and the Conversion to the Creatures infinitely, if men could live ever to commit adultery with them. And as the Consequence and reward of obedience was the favour of God, conferring life and blessedness to the Creature, so the wages of sin, which this1 Guilt assureth a sinner of, is the wrath of God, which the Scripture calleth Death and the Curse.
