QUEST. XXVIII. _What are the punishments of sin in this world?_

ANSW. The punishments of sin in this world, are either inward as

blindness of mind, a reprobate sense, strong delusions, hardness of

heart, horror of conscience, and vile affections; or outward, as the

curse of God upon the creatures for our sakes, and all other evils

that befall us in our bodies, names, estates, relations, and

employments, together with death itself.
