3 Where God condemneth sin, there he condemns it, in that very Punishment which is due unto it in the Sinner, or rather to the Sinner for it. He hath revealed but one Rule of his proceeding in this case. How he condemned sin in the flesh of Christ: or in him, sent in the likeness of sinful flesh. Rom. 8. 30. God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful Flesh, and for Sin condemned sin in the flesh. The condemning of Sin, is the infliction of Punishment due to Sin.

Luke 22. 44. or of its Attendencies, as Duration and the like, which he could not undergo: Psal. 16. 20.
