Reformed Covenanter

Cancelled Commissioner
Q. How is man by sin in the state of death?

A. By the just sentence of God, delivering him for sin, into the power both of corporal and eternal death; signified by expelling our parents out of Paradise, and debarring them of the Sacramental tree of Life.

Q. What are we to understand by corporal death?

A. The separation of the soul, and body, with all evils that attend thereon, or make way thereto, as sorrow sickness, shame, servitude, penury, &c. yea even blessings are cursed, and prosperity causeth ruin.

Q. What is eternal death?

A. It is the final separation of the whole man in hell for ever, from God’s favourable presence and fellowship; together with present bondage under Satan, hellish horrors, and such like fore-runners of damnation.
