Edwards (23) [7 variations in 1808] [16x
“affix” but none with “punishment”]
10 And because of the intercession for
all, all men come unto God; wherefore, they stand in the presence of him, to be
judged of him according to the truth and holiness which is in him. Wherefore,
the ends of the law which the Holy One hath given, unto the inflicting of the punishment
which is affixed, which punishment
that is affixed is in opposition to that
of the happiness which is affixed, to
answer the ends of the atonement—
(2
Nephi 2:10)
16 Now, repentance could not come unto
men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal as the life
of the soul should be, affixed opposite
to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul.
17 Now, how could a man repent except
he should sin? How could he sin if there was no law? How could there be a law
save there was a punishment?
18 Now, there was a punishment affixed, and a just law given, which brought
remorse of conscience unto man.
19 Now, if there was no law given—if a
man murdered he should die—would he be afraid he would die if he should murder?
20 And also, if there was no law given
against sin men would not be afraid to sin.
21 And if there was no law given, if
men sinned what could justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim
upon the creature?
22 But there is a law given, and a punishment
affixed, and a repentance granted; which
repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and
executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works
of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.
(Alma
42:16–22)
Doctrine and Covenants 82:4 Ye call upon
my name for revelations, and I give them unto you; and inasmuch as ye keep not
my sayings, which I give unto you, ye become transgressors; and justice and
judgment are the penalty which is affixed unto my law.

Tamu-th, the very same words; and again,
ch. 33:8, 14. There can be no reason to doubt but the expression has the same
signification: for in both places God is speaking of the punishment of sin, its proper
recompense as rebellion against God, that which is by a stated, known rule affixed to it; and that which God,
as the judge of the actions of men, does constantly annex to it and inflict for
it. Who can reasonably doubt but the first death that God ever threatened to
men for sin, when he first acted as his moral governor, as a lawgiver and judge
with him, and first dealt
