assure_v our_o faith_n that_o there_o be_v as_o certain_o after_o this_o life_n a_o state_n of_o torment_n as_o of_o bliss_n and_o those_o torment_n execute_v by_o scorch_v but_o not_o devour_v and_o

dives_n have_v have_v all_o his_o portion_n of_o good_a thing_n in_o this_o life_n and_o so_o must_v have_v no_o more_o such_o though_o it_o be_v but_o the_o least_o allay_n of_o his_o pain_n for_o one_o minute_n which_o sure_o exclude_v annihilation_n which_o be_v the_o perfect_a supersede_n of_o they_o again_o there_o be_v a_o gulf_n fix_v which_o interscind_v all_o intercourse_n between_o heaven_n and_o hell_n whereby_o any_o aid_n or_o relief_n shall_v come_v to_o they_o these_o circumstance_n put_v together_o must_v conclude_v that_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o such_o as_o of_o itself_o consume_v those_o that_o be_v torment_v in_o it_o and_o abraham_n that_o be_v now_o a_o comprehensor_fw-la know_v that_o there_o be_v now_o no_o place_n leave_v for_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o

the_o torment_n must_v be_v eternal_a i_o foresee_v but_o one_o objection_n to_o this_o viz_o that_o this_o be_v before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o then_o this_o non_fw-la obstante_fw-la the_o fire_n after_o the_o day_n of_o doom_n may_v annihilate_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o parable_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o refer_v to_o the_o time_n wherein_o it_o be_v deliver_v other_o parable_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o bridegroom_n refer_v to_o after_o time_n and_o this_o here_o by_o the_o see_v dive_v bodily_a in_o hell_n and_o the_o scorch_a of_o the_o tongue_n and_o the_o mention_n of_o dip_v the_o finger_n &c_n &c_n must_v refer_v to_o the_o state_n of_o conjunction_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o heaven_n and_o hell_n and_o that_o must_v be_v after_o the_o resurrection_n and_o so_o that_o supersede_v that_o one_o objection_n and_o i_o foresee_v no_o other_o second_o i_o mention_v christ_n word_n of_o judas_n that_o it_o be_v better_o for_o he_o never_o to_o have_v be_v bear_v and_o of_o he_o that_o shall_v offend_v a_o tender_a disciple_n and_o avert_v he_o from_o christ_n that_o it_o be_v better_o a_o millstone_n be_v hang_v about_o his_o neck_n and_o he_o cast_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n here_o i_o shall_v suppose_v annihilation_n as_o full_o express_v by_o these_o two_o phrase_n as_o by_o any_o it_o can_v be_v and_o yet_o that_o somewhat_o worse_o than_o that_o expect_v wicked_a man_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v found_v in_o eternal_a miserable_a be_v for_o eternal_a be_v if_o not_o miserable_a be_v much_o better_o and_o

have_v a_o be_v three_o i_o resume_v again_o though_o i_o now_o perceive_v they_o be_v after_o mention_v the_o express_a word_n of_o christ_n revel_v 20.10_o that_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o false_a
