hell_n be_v proportion_v not_o only_o to_o the_o act_n of_o a_o sinner_n which_o he_o have_v do_v but_o to_o his_o will_n what_o he_o will_v have_v do_v if_o he_o may_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o then_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o if_o he_o that_o will_v have_v sin_v against_o god_n everlasting_o if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o his_o power_n be_v everlasting_o punish_v by_o god_n who_o have_v power_n so_o to_o do_v god_n do_v by_o he_o no_o otherwise_o than_o he_o will_v do_v by_o god_n neither_o be_v the_o torment_n of_o hell_n more_o grievous_a to_o man_n than_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v offensive_a to_o god_n sin_n be_v as_o much_o displease_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n as_o torment_n be_v grievous_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n it_o be_v if_o god_n punish_v that_o with_o infinite_a torment_n which_o be_v infinite_o displease_v to_o he_o for_o in_o hell_n the_o condition_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o sinner_n seem_v to_o be_v somewhat_o alike_o in_o this_o respect_n that_o as_o the_o sin_n may_v always_o the_o punish_v but_o never_o cleanse_v so_o neither_o shall_v the_o torment_n in_o their_o body_n ever_o be_v end_v nor_o the_o body_n be_v extinguish_v there_o the_o damn_a shall_v ever_o live_v to_o die_v and_o ever_o die_v to_o live_v that_o as_o there_o be_v eternal_a joy_n prepare_v in_o heaven_n for_o those_o

you_o escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n ii_o have_v show_v you_o not_o only_o that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n but_o what_o this_o hell_n be_v i_o need_v not_o stand_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o

some_o offender_n if_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o will_v be_v malefactor_n it_o be_v needless_a to_o build_v any_o prison_n god_n will_v never_o have_v make_v hell_n but_o that_o in_o his_o

in_o they_o see_v the_o christian_a doctor_n be_v of_o sundry_a opinion_n concern_v the_o place_n and_o other_o circumstance_n thereof_o but_o as_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o all_o jew_n christian_n mahometan_n pagan_n all_o agree_v in_o the_o main_a point_n that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n a_o place_n where_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n be_v punish_v for_o the_o sin_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v in_o this_o life_n in_o this_o the_o heathen_n writing_n and_o the_o holy-scripture_n do_v not_o disagree_v that_o there_o be_v a_o place_n of_o torment_n that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n the_o heathen_a philosopher_n plato_n do_v not_o much_o disagree_v with_o justine_n martyr_v the_o christian_a philosopher_n and_o the_o other_o father_n in_o the_o description_n of_o hell_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o place_n of_o unconceivable_a torment_n prepare_v for_o the_o wicked_a in_o this_o they_o all_o agree_v that_o as_o there_o be_v joy_n in_o heaven_n for_o those_o that_o have_v live_v

be_v a_o place_n of_o punishment_n after_o this_o life_n for_o those_o soul_n which_o have_v live_v wicked_o in_o this_o life_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o no_o man_n who_o believe_v that_o there_o
