Wherein is plainly set forth the miserable state of those that like Dives have their good things in this life, but after this life is ended go down to Hell, and there being in torment cry for a drop of water to cool their tongue. Being preached, and now made publique on purpose to awaken the carnal besotted sinners of England. Also a word of comfort to all the poor afflicted people of God, who in this life time receives evil things, but in the world to come joys unspeakable, and life everlasting. By R. Hough, minister of the gospel.	Hough, Roger.	1680 (1680)	Wing H2914B; ESTC R215809	8,510	24

Chap. 19 20 21 22 23 24 Verses There was a certain Rich man which was cloathed in Purples and fine Linen and fared sumptuously every day And there was a certain Begger named Lazarus which was laid at his Gate full of sores And desired to be fed with the Crumbs which fell from the Rich mans Table moreover the Dogs came and licked his Sores And it came to Pass that the Begger dyed and was carried by Angells into Abrahams bosome the Rich man also died and was buried And in Hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham a far off and Lazarus in his bosome And he cryed and said Father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame I Shall at this time speak only to the 23 and 24 Verses of this Chapter viz. And in Hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham a far off and Lazarus in his bosome And he cryed and said Father Abraham have mercy upon me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame The former Verse speaks of the Departure of the ungodly out of this life together with the glorious conduct that the godly have into the Kingdom of Heaven in this verse our blessed Lord doth shew what shall befall the Reprobate after this life is ended and in Hell he lift up his eyes from which words may be observed these things First That there is an Hell for Souls to be tormented in when this life is ended for after this Rich-man was dead and buried In Hell he lift up his eyes Secondly That all that are ungodly and live and die in their sins so soon as ther they die they go into Hell He died and was buried and in Hell he lift up his eyes Thirdly That there be some that are so fast asleep and secure in their sins that they know not where they are till they come into Hell which may be gathered from these words In Hell he lift up his eyes before he was fast asleep Secondly That all the ungodly that live and die in their sins so soon as ever they depart this life do descend into hell This appeared plainly in the words of this Parable where Christ saith the Rich man died and was buried and in Hell he lift up his eyes As the Tree falls so it lies whether it be to Heaven or Hell Eccles 11.3 And as Christ said to the Thief on the Cross This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise even so the Divel in like manner may say unto the Souls of wicked Men and Women To morrow shalt thou be with me in Hell O behold and see all you impenitent Sinners what a miserable condition you will be in if you dye in your sins Oh Friends if you were but your selves you would have a care of your souls O what will it profit thy soul to have pleasure in this life and torments in Hell Mark 8.36 O then do not neglect our Lord Iesus Christ lest thou drop down into Hell Heb. 2.3 Consider would it not wound thee to thine heart to come upon thy death-bed and instead of having the comfort of a well spent life and the mercyes of the Lord Iesus Christ to have nothing but the sight of an ill-spent life and thy sins staring thee in the face thy Conscience like Thunder chafes against thee the thoughts of God terrifying of thee Death with his merciless paw seizing upon thee the Devil standing ready to carry away thy soul and Hell enlarging her self and ready to swallow thee up and Eternity of Misery and Torments attending upon thee from which there is no release Rev. 6.8 And I looked and behold a Pale Horse and his name that sat thereon was Death and Hell followed him O miserable Comforters Oh Dreadful Society here comes Death and Hell unto thee it is near thee so it will come Blessed are those that through Faith in ●esus Christ do escape the Soul-Murthering Companions Thirdly That some are so fast asleep in their sins that they scarce know where they ●re until they come to Hell And this is too much known to woeful and daily experience sometimes when we go to visit them that are sick in Towns and Places where we live Oh how senseless are they how seared is their Conscience they are not sensible of Heaven or Hell of Sin or a Saviour speak to them of their Souls and you shall find them as ignorant as if they had no souls to regard But sirs you may observe that the time of the ungodly mens smarting for their sins will be in the torments of Hell and now I am put to a stand when I consider the torments of Hell into which the Damned do fall O unspeakable and endless torments and that thy soul might be made to flee from these intollerable Torments I shall shew you briefly what these torments of Hell are by the names of it Secondly by the sad estate thou wilt be in it thou comest there First 'T is called a never dying worm Mark 9.
