Concl. 10. It is evident therefore that Remission and Justification are not perfect in this life, both in that many sins are still behind to be remitted, and from whose guilt a particular Justification is necessary to be added; and also because ⟨p. 360⟩the very continuance of the Justification and Remission received is but Conditional; and a Conditional Grant is not so perfect as an absolute, or when the Condition is all performed.

Concl. 11. That punishment which man was sentenced to Gen. 3. after his fall, and the Redeemer inflicteth in this Life on merciful terms (where there is a greater demonstration of mercy, than vindictive Justice, which is commonly called corrective punishment or chastisement,) is never wholly remitted to any, even of the Elect themselves in this Life. All Men must eat their bread in sorrow, and be sick and dye, and the Earth is still cursed with barrenness for our sakes, and the remnants of God's frowns, and want of Communion with him, and want of more Grace and Spirit from him, and of mortification of our Sins, are all sad punishments which the Elect must here undergo. As for those that say that none of these are punishments, I have elsewhere confuted them at large.
