shew you darkly and briefly what are the torments of Hell First by the names of it Secondly by the sad state thou wilt be in if thou comest there First the names It is called a never dying worm Mark 9. It is called an oven ●ire hot Mal. 4.1 It is called a furnace a fiery furnace Mat. 13. It is called the bottomless pit the unquenchable fire fire and brimstone hell fire the lake of fire devouring fire everlasting fire eternal fire a stream of fire Rev. 21. First one part of thy torments will be this thou shalt have a full sight of all thy ill-spent life from first to last though here thou canst sin to day and forget it by to morrow yet there thou shalt be made to remember how thou didst sin against God at such a time and in such a place for such a thing and with such an one which will be an hell unto thee 2. Thou shalt have the guilt of them all lie heavy on thy soul not onely the guilt of one or two but the guilt of them all together and there they shall lie in thy soul as if thy belly were full of pitch and set on a light fire Now here men can sometimes think on their sins with delight but there with unspeakable torment for that I understand to be the fire that Christ speaketh of which shall never be quenched Mark while men live here O how doth the guilt of one sin sometimes crush the soul it makes a man in such plight that he is weary of his life so that he can neither rest at home nor abroad neither up nor in bed Nay I do know that they have been so tormented with the guilt of one sinful thought that they have béen even at their wits end But now when thou comest into hell and hast not onely one or two or an hundred sine with the guilt of them all on thy soul and body but all the sins that ever thou didst commit since thou camest into the world all together clapt on thy conscience at one time as one should clap a red hot iron to thy breasts and there to continue to all eternity this is miserable 3. Again then thou shalt have brought to thy remembrance the slighting of the Gospel of Christ here now thou shalt consider how willing Christ was to come into the world to save sinners and for what a trifle thou didst reject him This is plainly held forth in Isa 28. where speaking of the Lord Iesus Christ the foundation of salvation ver 16. he saith of them that reject the Gospel that when the overflowing scourge doth pass through the earth which I understand to be at the end of the world then saith he It shall take you morning by morning by day adn by night shall it pass over you that is continually without any intermission Now these are the words I aim at where he saith And shall be a vexation onely to hear the report A vexation that is a torment or a great part of hell onely to understand the report that is to understand the good tidings that came into the world by Christs death for poor sinners and you will finde this to be verily the minde of the Spirit if you compare it with Isa 53.1 where he speaks of mens turning their backs upon the tenders of Gods grace in the Gospel he saith Who hath believed our report or the Gospel declared by us Now this will be a torment to the ungodly when they shall understand the goodness of God was so great that he even sent his Son out of his bosom to dye for sinners and yet that they should be so foolish as to put him off from one time to another that they should be so foolish as to lose heaven and Christ and eternal life in glory for the society of a company of Drunkards that they should lose their souls for a little sport for this world for a strumpet for that which is lighter then vanity and nothing I say this will be a very great torment unto thee 4. Another part of thy torment will be this thou shalt see thy friends thy acquaintance thy neighbours nay it may be thy father thy mother thy wife thy husband thy children thy brother thy sister with others in the kingdom of heaven and thy self thrust out And this is that that Christ told the Iews would befall them in Luke 13.28 There shall be weeping c. when you shall see Abraham your Father and Isaac and Jacob together with your Brethren the Prophets in the Kingdom of Heaven and your selves thrust out Nay saith he There shall come from the East and from the West that is those that thou didst never see in all thy life before and shall sit down with thy friends and thy neighbours thy wife and thy children in the Kingdom of Heaven and thou for thy sins and disobedience shalt be shut nay thrust out O wonderful torment 5. Again thou shalt have none but a company of damned souls with an innumerable company of huge devils to kéep company with thee While thou art in this world the very thoughts of the devils appearing to thee makes thy flesh to tremble and thine hair ready to stand upright on thy head But O what wilt thou do when not onely the supposition of the devils appearing but the real society of all the devils in hell to be with thee howling and roaring s●●●eching and yelling in such a hideous manner that thou wilt be even at thy with end and be ready to run stark mad again for anguish and torment 6. Again that thou mightest be tormented to purpose the mighty God of heaven will lay as great wrath and vengeance upon thee as ever he can by the might of his glorious power As I said before Thou shalt have his wrath not by drops no. but by whole showres shall it come thunder thunder upon thy body and soul so fast and so thick that thou shalt be tormented out of measure And so saith the Scripture 2 Thes 1.9 speaking of the wicked Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power when the Saints shall be admiring his goodness and glory Again this thou shalt have as I said before without and intermission thou shalt not have any ease so long as while am n may turn himself round thou shalt have it alwayes every hour day and night for their worm never dyes but alwayes gnaws and their fire is never quenched As it is written in Mark 9. 7. Again in this condition thou must be for ever and that is as sad as all the rest For if a man were have all his sins laid to his charge and communion with the devils and as much wrath as the great God of heaven can inflict upon them I say if it were but for a time even ten thousand years if then it might have an end there would be ground of
