The punishment vnto them (by the great patience and long sufferance of God, and in his singular Mercie, to make a way for the Redemption of Mankind) is so qualified that the vttermost and most extreme furie of it, is put off till the Latter Day. Whereupon grow two Degrees of this sinfull and cursed estate; for either it is in part, onely during this Life; or in the fulnesse of it, after Death.

In part only as Sinfulness, not in the highest pitch. Touching their Cursed estate: first, the Wrath of God upon them so far, that all things, not Blessings only, but his very Graces, turn to their Ruin: Secondly, separation from his Presence: Thirdly, loss of our former Sovereignty, and consequently, of our Power; insomuch, as both the Creatures are become our enemies, and we slaves to Satan: Fourthly, all kind of Calamities, Ignorance, Shame, Infirmity, Sickness, and in the end, Death, which is the separation of Soul and Body.
