agreement_n with_o hell_n and_o a_o league_n with_o devil_n do_v they_o think_v that_o curse_a fiend_n will_v make_v they_o welcome_a in_o hell_n because_o they_o have_v persuade_v they_o to_o come_v thither_o can_v they_o expect_v entertainment_n from_o such_o as_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o a_o loathsome_a dungeon_n what_o help_n will_v they_o give_v other_o who_o be_v themselves_o in_o unspeakable_a torment_n and_o who_o be_v so_o malicious_a that_o if_o they_o can_v they_o will_v not_o it_o be_v better_a to_o repent_v than_o to_o go_v to_o such_o company_n 2._o the_o impenitent_a will_v be_v exceed_o pain_v because_o they_o will_v then_o see_v that_o it_o be_v their_o own_o folly_n which_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o misery_n which_o they_o shall_v then_o suffer_v and_o that_o their_o obstinacy_n deprive_v they_o of_o the_o eternal_a happiness_n of_o which_o they_o may_v have_v be_v possessor_n those_o who_o in_o their_o life_n time_n will_v not_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o be_v save_v shall_v then_o be_v force_v to_o entertain_v multitude_n of_o thought_n which_o will_v blow_v the_o coal_n of_o the_o unquenchable_a fire_n they_o will_v be_v gall_v perpetual_o by_o consider_v how_o sottish_o they_o perish_v silly_o prefer_v a_o few_o short_a pleasure_n before_o everlasting_a felicity_n and_o that_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o and_o they_o often_o persuade_v to_o choose_v it_o they_o will_v then_o see_v and_o grieve_v to_o see_v it_o be_v folly_n enough_o to_o have_v choose_v the_o temporary_a pleasure_n of_o sin_n though_o for_o that_o they_o shall_v only_o have_v be_v deprive_v of_o eternal_a joy_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o high_a madness_n when_o for_o that_o they_o shall_v also_o suffer_v eternal_a pain_n and_o find_v that_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o worldly_a prosperity_n which_o they_o so_o much_o desire_v have_v heighten_v their_o sin_n shall_v also_o add_v to_o the_o sharpness_n of_o their_o punishment_n they_o will_v then_o see_v how_o sottish_o they_o follow_v the_o evil_a example_n of_o their_o fellow_n sinner_n trample_v upon_o god_n command_n and_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o meanness_n of_o the_o excuse_n which_o they_o make_v for_o their_o unbelief_n when_o they_o say_v they_o can_v not_o think_v there_o be_v such_o a_o place_n as_o hell_n because_o they_o never_o talk_v with_o any_o that_o be_v there_o or_o ever_o hear_v it_o prove_v by_o philosophy_n and_o they_o will_v wish_v then_o that_o they_o have_v believe_v god_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o place_n that_o they_o may_v endeavour_v to_o escape_v it_o and_o not_o have_v hearken_v to_o their_o rant_a companion_n who_o not_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v any_o argument_n against_o it_o make_v it_o their_o work_n to_o huff_v the_o belief_n of_o it_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o well_o know_v that_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o place_n they_o themselves_o must_v be_v force_v to_o take_v a_o undesirable_a lodging_n in_o it_o they_o will_v then_o see_v that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o ask_v for_o demonstration_n in_o matter_n of_o divine_a revelation_n where_o god_n demand_v faith_n upon_o his_o word_n remember_v how_o silly_o the_o old_a world_n laugh_v at_o noah_n for_o build_v a_o ship_n to_o sail_v as_o they_o think_v upon_o dry_a ground_n refuse_v to_o believe_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o deluge_n till_o they_o be_v afloat_a upon_o the_o wave_n of_o it_o they_o will_v see_v then_o that_o disbelief_n after_o plain_a declaration_n of_o god_n will_n be_v not_o courage_n but_o stupid_a presumption_n and_o that_o continuance_n in_o sin_n against_o great_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v a_o malicious_a obstinacy_n they_o will_v then_o confess_v that_o no_o tentation_n be_v a_o just_a counterpoise_n to_o god_n promise_n and_o that_o their_o sensual_a appetite_n be_v no_o lawful_a warrant_n for_o the_o contradiction_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o that_o it_o be_v extreme_a folly_n to_o slight_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o hearken_v to_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n will_v any_o dare_v to_o say_v to_o god_n then_o i_o know_v thou_o be_v austere_a and_o reap_a where_o thou_o do_v not_o sow_v no_o but_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v gracious_o and_o often_o assist_v they_o will_v then_o too_o late_o curse_v the_o baseness_n of_o their_o negligence_n and_o ingratitude_n they_o will_v then_o be_v ashamed_a to_o return_v to_o god_n have_v do_v nothing_o of_o the_o errand_n upon_o which_o he_o send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n but_o very_o much_o to_o the_o contrary_a of_o it_o and_o be_v afraid_a because_o they_o go_v away_o not_o have_v leave_v any_o testimony_n of_o their_o virtue_n behind_o they_o but_o many_o damn_v example_n of_o vice_n they_o will_v hate_v their_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o sharp_a remorse_n of_o their_o once_o baffle_a

sense_n of_o their_o have_v high_o deserve_v what_o they_o suffer_v will_v make_v they_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o be_v but_o just_o deprive_v of_o that_o small_a relief_n which_o be_v common_o allow_v to_o the_o miserable_a pity_n 3._o three_o the_o impenitent_a will_v be_v gall_v with_o envy_n to_o see_v other_o possess_v that_o happiness_n which_o once_o they_o may_v have_v enjoy_v but_o then_o slight_v and_o of_o which_o they_o be_v now_o for_o ever_o deprive_v this_o we_o learn_v from_o our_o saviour_n 29._o there_o shall_v be_v weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n when_o you_o shall_v

from_o the_o west_n and_o from_o the_o north_n and_o from_o the_o south_n and_o shall_v sit_v down_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n this_o sight_n will_v whet_v the_o tooth_n of_o the_o never_o die_a
