a_o tempestuous_a rain_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n that_o consume_v sodom_n and_o not_o a_o lake_n and_o so_o the_o reference_n do_v no_o far_o hold_v than_o the_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n i._n

their_o punishment_n appear_v to_o be_v great_a than_o the_o portion_n of_o any_o other_o more_o moderate_a wicked_a man_n which_o in_o the_o disputer_n sense_n shall_v be_v so_o final_o annihilate_v and_o sure_o reap_v no_o advantage_n by_o the_o state_n that_o expect_v he_o in_o the_o interval_n last_o will_v his_o advantage_n be_v that_o as_o death_n by_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lake_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v utter_o destroy_v so_o whoever_o else_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lake_n shall_v be_v utter_o annihilate_v that_o i_o suppose_v the_o special_o design_v advantage_n but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v it_o will_v prove_v none_o because_o death_n be_v a_o privative_a thing_n the_o destroy_n of_o that_o necessary_o infer_v not_o only_o a_o positive_a resurrection_n but_o consequent_a to_o it_o a_o undying_a state_n and_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o disputer_n pretension_n and_o then_o though_o those_o privation_n be_v destroy_v by_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lake_n yet_o it_o no_o way_n follow_v that_o man_n by_o be_v cast_v in_o thither_o shall_v be_v destroy_v also_o the_o conclude_v thus_o be_v as_o if_o put_v off_o the_o prophetical_a expression_n one_o shall_v say_v in_o plain_a word_n after_o the_o death_n of_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n and_o their_o continue_v in_o the_o state_n of_o separation_n some_o thousand_o of_o year_n they_o shall_v be_v raise_v

to_o the_o cast_n of_o hell_n and_o hades_n into_o the_o lake_n the_o latter_a of_o the_o person_n into_o the_o same_o lake_n ergo_fw-la as_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o separation_n of_o soul_n from_o body_n so_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o punish_v of_o wicked_a man_n whereas_o indeed_o the_o very_a contrary_n follow_v the_o destroy_n of_o death_n be_v the_o commence_v of_o this_o endless_a miserable_a life_n therefore_o prove_v to_o be_v endless_a because_o death_n be_v destroy_v and_o so_o life_n come_v universal_o and_o so_o to_o continue_v eternal_o instead_o of_o it_o for_o else_o death_n and_o hades_n or_o that_o which_o be_v more_o than_o death_n annnihilation_n shall_v return_v to_o have_v their_o be_v again_o which_o it_o be_v decree_v they_o shall_v not_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lake_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o if_o hades_n signify_v the_o place_n of_o hell_n or_o state_n of_o torment_n than_o the_o cast_v this_o into_o the_o lake_n will_v be_v the_o finish_v those_o torment_n whether_o after_o origen_n way_n or_o any_o other_o it_o matter_n not_o but_o this_o as_o have_v be_v say_v be_v not_o the_o

of_o p._n 3._o will_v be_v find_v no_o competent_a answer_n the_o first_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o destruction_n of_o death_n and_o hades_n be_v speak_v proper_o in_o reference_n to_o they_o who_o name_n be_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n but_o first_o if_o this_o be_v true_a than_o one_o of_o my_o former_a conclusion_n must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o hades_n signify_v not_o hell_n torment_v for_o that_o be_v destroy_v to_o those_o that_o be_v under_o it_o the_o godly_a be_v never_o under_o these_o but_o the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a in_o universum_fw-la yet_o second_o it_o be_v not_o true_a for_o v_o 12._o i_o see_v the_o dead_a small_a and_o great_a stand_v before_o god_n and_o the_o book_n be_v open_v the_o book_n of_o register_n of_o all_o man_n deed_n from_o which_o the_o

dead_a and_o death_n and_o hades_n deliver_v up_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v in_o they_o and_o they_o be_v judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n here_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o death_n and_o hades_n be_v proper_o speak_v in_o reference_n to_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v according_a to_o work_n and_o not_o only_o to_o they_o who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o so_o that_o evacuate_v the_o first_o answer_n the_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o that_o be_v not_o write_v in_o that_o book_n shall_v never_o suffer_v such_o a_o death_n as_o bring_v to_o hades_n but_o shall_v fall_v into_o a_o worse_a the_o second_o death_n but_o to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o this_o distinction_n have_v no_o ground_n in_o the_o text_n but_o contrary_a wise_a both_o death_n and_o hades_n be_v equal_o there_o say_v to_o be_v destroy_v to_o all_o that_o be_v under_o they_o both_o who_o name_n be_v and_o be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n as_o therefore_o to_o the_o godly_a that_o death_n that_o lead_v to_o hades_n be_v destroy_v so_o equal_o to_o the_o wicked_a and_o then_o they_o be_v both_o render_v eternal_a and_o then_o the_o wicked_n being_n cast_v into_o this_o lake_n be_v not_o can_v be_v to_o be_v destroy_v there_o but_o be_v a_o lake_n of_o fire_n to_o be_v torment_v there_o eternal_o as_o be_v most_o apparent_a v._n 10._o where_o the_o devil_n be_v cast_v into_o this_o lake_n and_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o false_a prophet_n say_v to_o be_v there_o already_o yet_o be_v not_o annihilate_v by_o be_v cast_v thither_o but_o as_o it_o follow_v shall_v be_v torment_v day_n and_o night_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o that_o they_o fall_v into_o a_o worse_a death_n i_o willing_o grant_v and_o think_v it_o useful_a to_o the_o cause_n i_o defend_v for_o suppose_v a_o wicked_a man_n who_o impiety_n cost_v he_o dear_a here_o one_o of_o the_o devil_n sad_a martyr_n cruciate_v with_o the_o disease_n his_o

or_o exercise_v many_o year_n with_o the_o rack_n of_o stone_n and_o strangury_n or_o the_o like_a and_o at_o last_o by_o these_o horrid_a misery_n his_o soul_n rend_v from_o his_o body_n and_o he_o continue_v in_o hades_n many_o hundred_o year_n and_o certain_o partake_v of_o no_o good_a in_o that_o estate_n at_o the_o utmost_a but_o rest_n from_o the_o labour_n of_o his_o former_a life_n can_v it_o in_o this_o case_n be_v say_v that_o the_o second_o death_n be_v worse_a than_o this_o and_o yet_o this_o second_o death_n define_v by_o a_o swift_a annihilation_n certain_o it_o can_v nothing_o but_o long_o continue_v if_o not_o endless_a torment_n can_v be_v say_v worse_a than_o those_o so_o long_o continue_v torment_n but_o whereas_o it_o be_v add_v that_o the_o second_o death_n be_v absolute_a and_o eternal_a destruction_n as_o the_o scripture_n elsewhere_o speak_v i_o reply_v that_o the_o scripture_n no_o where_o speak_v so_o never_o use_v second_o death_n of_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o annihilation_n nor_o ever_o seem_v in_o any_o other_o word_n to_o say_v of_o any_o wicked_a man_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v annihilate_v as_o for_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i_o grant_v it_o parallel_v to_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o can_v see_v no_o argument_n producible_a thence_o that_o either_o of_o they_o denote_v annihilation_n be_v both_o so_o much_o more_o proper_a to_o denote_v torment_n and_o those_o eternal_a for_o the_o valley_n of_o hinnom_n it_o be_v know_v that_o child_n be_v not_o burn_v to_o ash_n there_o but_o put_v into_o hollow_a brazen_a
