And all this will be out of doubt if we consider the definition of Punishment, which is a natural evil inflicted because of a Moral: or the hurt of our persons inflicted for sin. Now there is no doubt but all these forementioned are evils to us, or hurtful to mens persons; and no doubt but they are inflicted for sin: and then as to the species; They are inflicted for sins against the Law of Christ, by force of the obligation of the commination of that Law, and the sentence past by Christ as Redeemer and Author of that Law.
