A. There was a twofold Evil, the evil of Sin, and the evil of Punishment, both very great.
Q. 4. What was the Evil of Sin?
A. A threefold Evil of Sin. First, Against God, called disobedience. Rom. 5.19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners. Secondly, Against himself, Soul, Body, and Estate. Thirdly, Against his Posterity. Rom. 5.12. Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
