Every sin, or transgression of the Law, deserves eternal death; therefore in this life the greatest punishments that fall upon sinners, are less then their sins. As the least mercies which God bestoweth upon them, are greater then the greatest of their deservings. (That was Jacobs free confession (Gen: 32.10.) I am not worthy of the least of (or I am less then) all the mercies, and of all the truth which thou hast showed unto thy servant) So the greatest punishments that fall upon them in this life, are less then the least of their sins: And in the next life, where sinners shall have full measure, heaped up, pressed down, running over, and that for ever, yet then they shall not have one grain more, either of weight or measure, then they have deserved. The Lord layeth upon no man in this life so much, nor in that to come more then is right.
