a_o description_n of_o a_o endless_a state_n of_o misery_n as_o word_n can_v express_v for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o annihilation_n shall_v signify_v either_o a_o fire_n that_o never_o go_v out_o or_o a_o worm_n that_o never_o die_v so_o also_o 2_o thess._n 1.9_o who_o shall_v be_v punish_v with_o everlasting_a destruction_n from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n mean_v the_o wicked_a persecuter_n at_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n now_o that_o by_o that_o everlasting_a destruction_n he_o mean_v a_o state_n of_o endless_a suffer_v and_o torment_n be_v evident_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o description_n which_o our_o saviour_n give_v of_o that_o punishment_n to_o which_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v sentence_v at_o the_o last_o day_n go_v you_o curse_v say_v he_o into_o everlasting_a fire_n matth._n 25.41_o and_o lest_o we_o shall_v fancy_v that_o it_o be_v the_o fire_n only_o that_o be_v eternal_a but_o not_o the_o punishment_n v_o 46._o of_o that_o chap._n and_o these_o say_v he_o shall_v go_v away_o into_o everlasting_a punishment_n but_o the_o righteous_a into_o life_n eternal_a and_o that_o they_o do_v actual_o exist_v in_o this_o fire_n and_o continue_v in_o the_o torment_n of_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o those_o action_n that_o be_v therein_o attribute_v to_o they_o such_o as_o weep_v and_o wail_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n matth._n 13.42_o 50_o which_o action_n be_v plain_a indication_n not_o only_o of_o their_o subsist_v in_o this_o everlasting_a fire_n but_o of_o the_o extreme_a horror_n and_o anguish_n they_o shall_v therein_o endure_v and_o as_o this_o fire_n be_v say_v to_o be_v everlasting_a so_o the_o everlastingness_n of_o it_o be_v describe_v so_o as_o to_o exclude_v all_o limit_n and_o prescind_v from_o all_o determination_n for_o fire_n must_v be_v extinguish_v ere_o it_o can_v cease_v to_o burn_v and_o therefore_o that_o which_o can_v be_v extinguish_v can_v never_o end_v but_o such_o be_v that_o fire_n whereunto_o the_o wicked_a be_v condemn_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n so_o matth._n 3.12_o who_o fan_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n but_o he_o will_v burn_v up_o the_o chaff_n with_o unquenchable_a fire_n and_o that_o the_o sufferer_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o extinguish_v than_o the_o fire_n that_o burn_v they_o be_v evident_a from_o rev._n 14.11_o and_o the_o smoke_n of_o their_o torment_n ascend_v up_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o they_o have_v no_o rest_n day_n nor_o night_n and_o how_o can_v the_o smoke_n of_o this_o fire_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o smoke_n of_o their_o torment_n ascend_v up_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o unless_o they_o exist_v in_o it_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o especial_o consider_v what_o follow_v immediate_o after_o they_o have_v no_o rest_n day_n nor_o night_n which_o expression_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o by_o which_o the_o same_o author_n signify_v the_o eternal_a happiness_n of_o good_a man_n so_o rev._n 4.8_o they_o rest_v not_o day_n and_o night_n say_v holy_a holy_a holy_a and_o rev._n 7.15_o the_o be_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o day_n and_o night_n in_o his_o temple_n and_o if_o day_n and_o night_n here_o when_o apply_v to_o the_o state_n of_o heaven_n denote_v the_o continue_a blissful_a employment_n of_o happy_a soul_n there_o forever_o then_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n when_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o state_n of_o hell_n it_o must_v denote_v the_o continue_a misery_n of_o the_o damn_a there_o forever_o well_o then_o if_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n be_v everlasting_a yea_o if_o it_o be_v so_o absolute_o everlasting_a as_o that_o it_o be_v unquenchable_a and_o if_o those_o that_o be_v cast_v into_o it_o shall_v be_v torment_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o all_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v direct_o teach_v than_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o wicked_a must_v subsist_v in_o their_o misery_n for_o ever_o and_o be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o flame_n that_o torment_v they_o the_o reason_n therefore_o why_o that_o future_a punishment_n to_o which_o our_o sin_n do_v consign_v and_o oblige_v we_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o destruction_n perdition_n and_o death_n be_v not_o because_o it_o put_v a_o final_a period_n either_o to_o our_o be_v or_o subsistence_n as_o some_o fond_o dream_n but_o because_o it_o forever_o separate_v and_o disjoyn_v we_o from_o god_n who_o be_v the_o better_a and_o the_o noble_a life_n of_o man_n and_o from_o all_o those_o sweet_a perception_n of_o comfort_n and_o pleasure_n of_o which_o life_n be_v the_o principle_n and_o there_o be_v no_o language_n phrase_n or_o expression_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o patronize_v a_o contrary_a opinion_n since_o the_o same_o scripture_n which_o say_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o perish_v and_o die_v say_v also_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v torment_v with_o never-dying_a pain_n as_o they_o plain_o and_o frequent_o do_v this_o i_o have_v the_o long_o insist_v upon_o because_o it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n for_o man_n to_o be_v deceive_v in_o this_o matter_n not_o to_o know_v the_o worst_a of_o the_o consequent_n of_o their_o own_o folly_n but_o to_o expect_v a_o easy_a and_o a_o short_a hell_n than_o ever_o they_o be_v like_a to_o find_v and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o thing_n propose_v viz._n what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o perish_v and_o prove_v to_o you_o at_o large_a that_o hereby_o be_v mean_v live_v miserable_o forever_o 2_o dly_z i_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o next_o thing_n propose_v viz._n how_o we_o come_v to_o be_v concern_v in_o and_o oblige_v to_o this_o dreadful_a penalty_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o original_o we_o be_v hereunto_o oblige_v by_o the_o law_n of_o our_o nature_n for_o man_n be_v natural_o a_o immortal_a creature_n must_v necessary_o be_v forever_o liable_a to_o the_o natural_a effect_n of_o his_o own_o action_n and_o therefore_o since_o misery_n be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o sinful_a action_n if_o we_o continue_v sinner_n forever_o we_o must_v necessary_o continue_v miserable_a forever_o and_o if_o god_n shall_v have_v inflict_v no_o other_o misery_n upon_o wicked_a soul_n when_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o their_o body_n than_o what_o be_v necessary_o consequent_a to_o their_o own_o wickedness_n these_o will_v be_v a_o hell_n of_o insufferable_a torment_n to_o they_o so_o that_o from_o the_o very_a immortality_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v capable_a of_o everlasting_a perseverance_n in_o sin_n and_o from_o our_o everlasting_a perseverance_n in_o sin_n we_o be_v fatal_o damn_v to_o evelasting_a misery_n and_o as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v thus_o bind_v over_o to_o eternal_a punishment_n so_o be_v we_o also_o by_o the_o positive_a sentence_n and_o determination_n of_o god_n who_o have_v not_o only_o oblige_v we_o to_o obey_v he_o under_o the_o penalty_n of_o endure_v forever_o the_o misery_n that_o be_v natural_o appendent_a to_o our_o sin_n but_o have_v add_v thereunto_o all_o those_o positive_a torment_n which_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n and_o the_o horror_n of_o outer_a darkness_n do_v imply_v for_o so_o in_o his_o word_n he_o have_v plain_o declare_v to_o we_o that_o if_o after_o he_o have_v try_v we_o to_o the_o utmost_a we_o will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v but_o be_v so_o desperate_a as_o to_o proceed_v in_o our_o wickedness_n maugre_o all_o the_o art_n and_o method_n he_o can_v use_v to_o reduce_v we_o he_o will_v at_o last_o shut_v we_o up_o in_o a_o state_n of_o endless_a and_o irreversible_a torment_n and_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o may_v very_o just_o and_o rightful_o do_v for_o he_o be_v the_o supreme_a lawgiver_n of_o the_o world_n have_v a_o immutable_a right_n to_o enforce_v his_o law_n with_o such_o penalty_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o secure_v they_o from_o be_v violate_v by_o his_o subject_n for_o otherwise_o he_o will_v be_v defective_a in_o his_o power_n of_o legislation_n for_o how_o can_v he_o have_v sufficient_a power_n to_o make_v law_n if_o he_o have_v not_o right_o to_o enforce_v they_o with_o sufficient_a penalty_n but_o we_o that_o be_v his_o subject_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o offend_v and_o so_o extreme_o liable_a to_o temptation_n thereunto_o no_o less_o penalty_n can_v be_v sufficient_a to_o secure_v our_o obedience_n than_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a for_o which_o reason_n he_o have_v enforce_v his_o law_n with_o the_o threaten_v of_o it_o and_o if_o god_n think_v no_o less_o than_o the_o threaten_v of_o eternal_a punishment_n necessary_a to_o deter_v man_n from_o their_o sin_n what_o less_o than_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o threat_n can_v be_v sufficient_a to_o render_v they_o example_n of_o his_o severity_n against_o it_o for_o threat_n without_o execution_n be_v but_o mere_a scare-crow_n and_o it_o be_v high_o unreasonable_a for_o we_o
