As all the sufferings of this life are not worthy to be compared with the glory of the next life (Rom: 1.18.) so neither are they comparable with the sins of this life. When a man is under ⟨p. 453⟩very sore affliction, chastened with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat; yet he must confess, his sufferings are less then his sin. The Church of the Jews acknowledged this as to that great affliction, their captivity in Babylon (Ezra 9.13.) After all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that our God hath punished us less then our iniquities deserve, &c. It was no little punishment which that people endured, yet they confessed it was less then their iniquity. The least sin is so great, that no punishment which man is capable of in this life can equal it; nor can that in the life to come equal it as to present degree, but only by the everlastingness of its duration
