1For the second, wrath is wrought or brought upon us four ways. First, the Law works wrath: for being transgressed, it breeds displeasure, pleads for judgement, records sin, and presents it in Gods sight. Secondly, Christ in the ministry of the word applies wrath, or discovers Gods indignation: and so he is said to smite and slay the wickedb.
