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.

not_o a_o punishment_n without_o end_n what_o warrant_n he_o have_v to_o make_v such_o a_o inference_n from_o it_o i_o for_o my_o part_n can_v understand_v for_o what_o if_o that_o separation_n be_v everlasting_a as_o we_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v than_o it_o will_v be_v vanity_n to_o say_v so_o yea_o a_o contradiction_n too_o so_o that_o this_o collection_n of_o he_o be_v utter_o groundless_a unless_o he_o understand_v this_o separation_n to_o be_v by_o annihilation_n and_o if_o he_o do_v so_o i_o have_v show_v the_o absurdity_n of_o it_o sufficient_o already_o in_o disprove_v the_o

must_v be_v a_o very_a silly_a man_n that_o can_v think_v mr._n perkins_n be_v such_o a_o fool_n as_o to_o suppose_v that_o they_o can_v be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n or_o out_o of_o his_o presence_n i_o dare_v say_v that_o be_v very_o far_o from_o his_o mind_n and_o he_o need_v no_o more_o to_o be_v teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n omnipresence_n than_o

after_o they_o have_v leave_v their_o body_n so_o in_o this_o case_n we_o mean_v by_o the_o second_o death_n the_o total_a and_o perpetual_a separation_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o impenitent_a from_o
