But here it may be demanded, whether the sin of the 1governors is a just cause to move the Lord to punish the subjects. To which I answer, that there are two sorts of punishments: the first corporal and temporal: the second, spiritual and eternal. In respect of temporal punishments, it is just with God to punish the sins of parents in children, and of governors in the subjects; because in respect of the whole body, they are parts and members belonging unto them as the chief and principal; and therefore whilst the children and subjects suffer punishment, the parents and governors are punished in them. 2. Sam. 12. 14. 24. 12. 17.2
But here it may be demanded, whether the sinne of the 1gouernours is a iust cause to mooue the Lord to punish the subiects. To which I answer, that there are two sorts of punishments: the first corporall and temporall: the second, spirituall and eternall. In respect of temporall punishments, it is iust with God to punish the sinnes of parents in children, and of gouernours in the subiects; because in respect of the whole body, they are parts and members belonging vnto them as the chiefe and principall; and therefore whilest the children and subiects suffer punishment, the parents and gouernours are punished in them. 2. Sam. 12. 14. 24. 12. 17.2
