3. Object. But the Scripture saith, That the Wages of Sin is everlasting punishment. Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his Angels, Mat. 25.
Ans. This Objection is partly answered already, in the Answer to that fore-going. But further;
1. Consider, The Wages of Sin is Death, and punishment under the Wrath of God. Till those that die the Death for Sin, have paid the utmost Farthing, Mat. 5. 25. Luk. 12. 58, 59.
2. So then the everlastingness of the Punishment, lieth here; If the Person suffering be not able to make amends to justice for the Sins for which he suffereth; else justice neither would, nor could, because 'tis just, keep such still under punishment.
