1. As to the Penalty, called the Pain of Loss, the first Judgement did deprive man of the favour of his creator; but the second will deprive him of the favour both of the Creator and Redeemer: •he first Judgement deprived him of the benefits of Innocency: The second deprived him of the Benefits of Redemption; The loss of his hopes and possibility of a pardon, of the Spirit, of Justification and Adoption, and of the benefits which Conditionally were promised and offered him; these are the Punishments of the last Judgement, which the Law of work• did never threaten to the first man, or to any, as it stood alone.

Also the loss of Glory as Recovered, is the proper penalty of the violated Law of Grace: which ⟨p. 209⟩is more than the first loss. As if a man should lose his Purse the second time, when another hath once found it for him: Or rather as if a Traitor Redeemed by another, and having his life and honours offered him, if he will Thankfully Accept it and come in, should by his Refusal and Obstinacy, lose this Recovered Life, which is offered him: which is an addition to his former penalty.
