5. What are the effects of sin.
Now that it is defined what sin is, and from whence it came, we are to consider also, what be the evils which follow sin: For, except this be also known, we know not yet how great evil there is in sin, and with how great hatred God pursueth it. It hath been said before, that evil was of two sorts: one of crime or offence, which is sin; the other of pain or punishment. The evil of punishment is the effect of the evil of offence. That this may be the better understood, we must here again remember, that of punishments, some are Only punishments, as are the destruction of nature, or torments: others, Both punishments and sin, as all sins, which have followed since the first fall.
