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.

what_o dead_a do_v he_o mean_a sure_o all_o of_o they_o since_o he_o make_v no_o distinction_n between_o one_o sort_n and_o another_o in_o this_o respect_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o

than_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v dead_a because_o most_o of_o the_o live_n never_o be_v saint_n indeed_o now_o the_o denomination_n be_v to_o be_v give_v from_o the_o great_a part_n i_o see_v no_o

nor_o have_v my_o author_n or_o any_o for_o he_o ever_o be_v so_o resolute_a as_o to_o affirm_v the_o word_n dead_a to_o signify_v the_o saint_n more_o than_o the_o wicked_a and_o their_o soul_n be_v immortal_a we_o can_v think_v that_o god_n will_v unite_v they_o at_o judgement_n to_o mortal_a body_n if_o god_n have_v mean_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o wicked_a after_o the_o day_n of_o

the_o great_a wrath_n they_o be_v to_o lie_v under_o the_o worm_n will_v be_v sufficient_a executioner_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o they_o what_o need_v any_o such_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o quicken_a and_o raise_v of_o their_o putrify_a body_n if_o he_o intend_v they_o shall_v die_v and_o corrupt_v again_o so_o then_o the_o first_o proposition_n be_v certain_a that_o the_o wicked_a themselves_o shall_v be_v raise_v to_o a_o immortal_a state_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n they_o that_o will_v come_v but_o seldom_o to_o the_o church_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o

eternity_n the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o be_v happy_a to_o eternity_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v be_v this_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o have_v a_o be_v in_o happiness_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n this_o i_o need_v not_o be_v large_a in_o prove_v to_o they_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o holy_a scripture_n they_o shall_v come_v forth_o to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o damnation_n 29._o john_n 5.28_o 29._o which_o will_v be_v far_o enough_o from_o all_o happiness_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n though_o they_o be_v joyful_a enough_o when_o they_o be_v damn_v

of_o think_v themselves_o companion_n for_o gentleman_n they_o will_v find_v themselves_o companion_n for_o devil_n damnation_n doubtless_o will_v destroy_v all_o joy_n whatsoever_o 25.41_o matth._n 25.41_o and_o the_o curse_n that_o shall_v be_v on_o they_o will_v seclude_v all_o blessedness_n nor_o shall_v they_o be_v in_o a_o middle_a state_n between_o happiness_n and_o misery_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o middle_a state_n think_v of_o by_o any_o sober_a christian_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o dream_v of_o by_o the_o papist_n themselves_z whatsoever_o property_v purgatory_n may_v have_v in_o it_o before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n yet_o they_o hold_v it_o shall_v cease_v for_o ever_o after_o that_o day_n and_o nothing_o remain_v but_o heaven_n and_o hell_n and_o joy_n and_o torment_n to_o be_v the_o place_n and_o portion_n of_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o this_o conceit_n be_v abundant_o confute_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o for_o wrath_n and_o damnation_n and_o the_o curse_n be_v or_o imply_v a_o proper_a state_n of_o misery_n not_o a_o middle_a state_n between_o misery_n and_o happiness_n wherefore_o the_o consequence_n be_v clear_a as_o the_o light_n clear_v the_o conseq_n clear_v for_o if_o the_o wicked_a shall_v always_o have_v a_o be_v after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o yet_o never_o have_v a_o be_v in_o happiness_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o must_v have_v a_o be_v always_o in_o misery_n and_o torment_n and_o this_o i_o think_v be_v a_o plain_a argument_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v be_v no_o less_o plain_a be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o divine_a justice_n it_o be_v thus_o good_a reader_n divine_a justice_n require_v that_o the_o wicked_a that_o continue_v such_o clear_v a_o second_o argument_n take_v from_o god_n justice_n 1._o clear_v shall_v be_v punish_v for_o ever_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o ever_o the_o consequence_n will_v not_o

proper_o so_o call_v nor_o in_o a_o way_n of_o vengeance_n but_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n that_o pale_a horse_n though_o it_o

in_o pag._n 130._o 137._o p._n 137._o r._n man_n build_v much_o in_o this_o point_n upon_o the_o second_o death_n but_o what_o that_o death_n be_v they_o can_v agree_v b._n i_o think_v he_o be_v

perkins_n say_v the_o second_o death_n be_v a_o total_a separation_n from_o god_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o punishment_n without_o end_n and_o see_v god_n be_v every_o where_o if_o they_o

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
