The Scripture speaks sometimes of hell figuratively; Gehinnon, Tophet. Which was a valley by the Fullers field near to Aceldama, on the South-side of Si•• Called Gehinnon, because it was in the tenure of a man named Hinmom, Aret. Th•• the Jews, after the example of the Ammonites, sacrificed their children to Mol•• in the fire. An Idol which they worshipped for Mercury, Montan. Others […] for Saturn, whom the Poets feign a devourer of his own children. It was of br•• or coper, with hands stretched out to receive the Infants that were to be sacrifice• His Priests were called Chemmarim, because they were reesed or smoked with t•• Incense offered to the Idol. It was defaced and defiled by good King Josiah, 2 King 23.10. and made a draught or common sewer for the filth of Jerusalem. The Ca• deans cast the slain Jews into that place, Jer. 7.32. Therefore it was called Os Info ni, the mouth of hell, that could not be filled. For further description of hell, the Scripture useth three principal terms; the Worm, outer darkness, and unquench•• fire, Mark. 9.44.
