1Object. 1. God saith, In the day that thou eatest of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt die the death. Answ. He doth not threaten unto man the destruction or extinguishing of his soul, but eternal death, that is, the horrible feeling and terrors of Gods wrath and judgement, and to live forsaken and cast from God, subject to all miseries and torments: an adjoint of which death, is the separation of the soul and body, which at that time, through the mercy of God, that mankind might be saved, was deferred. For so was Adam dead, while yet he lived in Paradise, according to Gods denouncement,2 even as soon as he had eaten of the forbidden fruit. So in eternal death live all the damned and reprobate: Whose fire shall not be put out, and their worm not die. So they are said to be dead through sin, who live in sin without repentance. And, he is willed to rise from the dead, who is reclaimed from sin to God:3 and S. Paul saith, he was dead through the knowledge of his sin, and the wrath of God.
