Q. What death is that God inflicts on man for sin?
A. A double death.
1. The first death of the body, together with the beginnings of it in this world, as grief, shame, losses, sicknesses, Deut. 28. 21, 22, 25. 2. The second death of the soul, whi•h is the eternal separation and ejection of the soul after death, and soul and body after judgment, from God, into everlasting torments in hell.
Q Is there no beginning of this death, as there is of the other in this life?
A. Yes, at first, security and hardness of heart, which cannot feel sin its greatest evil.
