A29219	To pyr to aiōnion, or, Everlasting fire no fancy being an answer to a late pestilent pamphlet, entituled (The foundations of hell-torments shaken and removed), wherein the author hath laboured to prove that there is no everlasting punishment for any man (though finally wicked and impenitent) after this life : his considerations considered, and his cavils, confuted : together with a practical improvement of the point, and the way to escape the damnation of Hell / by Jo.

word_n fire_n do_v not_o there_o signify_v any_o corporal_a fire_n or_o fire_n proper_o so_o call_v because_o i_o believe_v spirit_n not_o to_o be_v any_o suitable_a object_n for_o real_a fire_n to_o work_v upon_o much_o less_o can_v i_o think_v that_o corporal_a fire_n can_v be_v the_o chief_a mean_n of_o their_o punishment_n as_o this_o everlasting_a fire_n be_v intimate_v to_o be_v since_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o worse_a thing_n prepare_v for_o they_o this_o fire_n therefore_o i_o will_v rather_o understand_v of_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n vengeance_n and_o the_o immediate_a impression_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o express_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n by_o fire_n for_o its_o terrible_a and_o pierce_a nature_n may_v fit_o
