Description
Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.
Tennent begins this sermon on the punishment of sin by citing two Bible verses: Ephesians 2:3, "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others;" and Revelation 3:18, "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."
From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1744, then delivered it again in 1748 and 1751.

Abstract
De pena peccati (On the punishment of sin) describes exactly that. Vivid evocations of the wrath of God, inconceivable, unparalleled, unmixed (pure), intolerable, continual and eternal,visited on earth as well as in the hereafter, for original sin as well as active sins. Heaps on the penalties, dangers and miseries: The Last Judgment; Sinners live under God's curse; review of the deprivations and hopelessness, the outward and inward punishments to be endured.
However, if a believer sins, punishments are proportionate to the crime like a father's chastening, meant for benefit and good.
