Now says Christ I will have no more to do with him Justice seize upon him Serjeant of death arrest him drag him along with thee bring him to my Tribunal and there to prison thou must go and now poor soul thou hast no body to pay thy debts for thee now thou must go and pay them all thy self but thou wilt never be able to pay the uttermost farthing nay thou art not able to pay one farthing Well but whether must I go To prison What 's that prison Hell man that 's the prison so it is called a prison Rev. 20.1 2 And I saw an Angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand And he laid hold on the Dragon that old Serpent which is the Devil and Satan and bound him Where why where he was loosed afterwards for a time Vers 7 And when the thousand years are expired Satan shall be loosed out of his prison This deep pit is here call'd a prison this deep pit where the Devil is chained is a prison and thither must every arrested sinner be dragged into this pit and laid in this prison in chains under darkness Why say you Why is Hell call'd a prison for these poor spirits to be laid in Why because of the resemblance that it hath to a prison In these three respects Hell is called a Prison First It 's a place of punishment as Prisons are Secondly It 's a place of Restraint Thirdly It 's a place of Abode 1. A prison is a place of Punishment Alas your prisons are full of the instruments of punishment Go into a prison and there you shall see your dark dungeon without any light or next to none there you may see your Press-yard where the malefactors are sometimes press'd to death and you may see the press and the weights that are laid upon them go into Prisons and there you shall see Racks to torture men to stretch them to pull their limbs and members out of joynt there you shall see Chains Chains for the feet for the hands to bind them to load them to pain them Prisons are places of punishment torment misery Hell is called a Prison because it is a place of pain and torment Why what is there in Hell that answers to these Racks Presses Irons Chains Why there is darkness there 's your Dungeon utter darkness extream darkness For Misery there is weeping wailing and gnashing of teeth For Torment there is fire everlasting fire that will never go out There 's a rack for the Spirit there 's the worm that never dieth For a Jaylor there 's the Devil that is in for his own fault and to be tormented himself and to torment others O! 't is a sad Prison to be under a cruel Jaylor in Chains and fire with a worm gnawing at the very heart under the wrath of God! This is a sad state sinners a sad state The Lord help you to believe it But you are apt to hear this as a Fable but believe it you will find this true The old world was as secure as you are Repent faith God or I will drown you all and that which is more I will damn you too I will send your bodies to rot in the ground and your souls to the Prison of Hell Noah tells them so Says God to Noah Prepare thy Ark against the time He did so Why what did the rest do They believed it not they regarded it not they thought Noah must say something and they look't upon him as a Mad-man and so you do Us. Sinners take heed that death does not come and drag you away before you have repented and obeyed the voice of Christ in his Ministers The old world because they did not repent they were damn'd for not hearkning to Noah and you shall be damn'd if you will not hearken to Us. The Lord awaken your sleepy souls that you may not sleep the sleep of death that you may not go down with your bodies to the Grave and your souls to Hell But again Hell is called a Prison because it is a place of restraint you can't go out when you please Go to Newgate they will talk with you through the grates but they can't go out of doors neither can friends come to them but must ask the Jaylor leave and if he hath commission to deny any away you must go though a Wife though a Father or Brother So poor soul when God hath stript thee of thy body and laid thee in this Prison thou shalt be restrained and others restrained from coming to thee there 's no friend to come to thee then Noah preached to the old world in the body and so we do to you but when you have by your disobedience provoked God to cut you off and lay your souls in this Prison there 's no coming to you no preacher then no Christ and no Spirit to offer Salvation then you are poor Prisoners restrain'd and kept from all manner of comfort O saith the rich man in Hell Father Abraham O that some would come and give me but the refreshment of a drop of cold water to cool my tongue in this torment No says he there 's a gulf between us and you 't is a Gaol and the Prisoner is bounded up by the Justice of God and there is a charge none shall come from us to you nor from you to us It 's a Prison you are restrained poor sinners Will you believe No you don't believe Because you dont believe you will be damn'd This damn'd the old world and this will damn you if you don't believe Thirdly Hell is a Prison as it is a place of Abode When you are in Prison if it be for debt How can you get out Why these Three ways you may get out of these Prisons 1. By breaking of them but you can't break the gates of Hell no you can't you may clamber these walls and come down by ropes but there is a great gulf that you may as well think of clambering the Stars as to get out of this Prison And again 2. There is an other way if you can't pay your debts another may But there is no paying for you out of Hell Christ hath once done it if you will repent he will pay all for you but if once clapt into that Prison Christs blood will profit you nothing Or Lastly By Pardon If no body will pay the debt the Creditor may forgive him but believe it sinner you will never have such a pardon from God for here 's your time of pardon if thou wilt repent Christ he will pardon thee To day if ye will hear his voice harden not your hearts but if you die no more pardon no more offers of Grace then thou art shut up for ever 'T is a Prison Never man that was in Hell got out of Hell more So much for the Third Fourthly What 's the Crime having discoursed of the Prison Wh●●'s the
