THAT BOTH GOD AND MAN EXPRESS THEIR DISPLEASURE TOWARDS WRONG DOERS ON THIS EARTH. 1. God, in many ways. (1) Providential afflictions. (2) Moral remorses. 2. Man, also, in many ways. (1) Sometimes in his personal, capacity, by denunciatory language and physical chastisement. (2) Sometimes in his corporate capacity, as a member of the State, by pains and penalties. II.
