(1.) The Fault. That man who is Gods subject, and so many ways obliged to him by his benefits, instead of keeping this Law should break it upon light Terms, and swerve from the Rule of his duty, being carried away by his own ill disposed will, and base Lusts. It is a great and heinous offence, for which he becometh obnoxious to the Judgment of God.
(2.) The Guilt: which is a liableness to punishment, and that not ordinary punishment, but the vengeance of the eternal God, who every moment may break in upon us. Where there is sin, there will be guilt; and where there is guilt, there will be punishment, unless we be pardoned and God looseneth the Chains wherewith we be bound.
Secondly, Forgiveness of Sin, is a dissolving the obligation to punishment, or a freedom in Gods way and method, from all the sad and woeful Consequences of sin. Understand it rightly.
