3. The punishment of Sin is tremendous. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb. 10.31. In this punishment God will make it known how hateful a thing to him Sin is, and he will do it by the fearfulness of it: hence these penalties are set forth in the word of God after a formidable manner. God intends in it to show his wrath, and make his power known, Rom. 9.22. These penalties are expressed as intolerable, Ezek. 22.14.

4. How this Imputation comes to be taken off from Sinful men?
A. In Sum, it is done by the Translation of it from the account of the Sinner, to the account of Christ. There is no other way in which it can be done consistent with the Justice of G: and in this way it may be, and is done for all that are pardoned. Of this we may take this short account.
