This place shall begin to open her cursed jaws, when the Judge of all men and Angels shall have given his last sentence. At that day, when, Quaesitor scelerum veniet, vindexque reorum, the searcher of all, and punisher of wicked hearts, shall give his double voice of dread and joy; when having spoken peace to his Saints, he shall thunder out condemnation to the wicked, Go ye into everlasting fire.
This place shall begin to open her cursed iawes, when the Iudge of all men and Angels shall haue giuen his last sentence. At that day, when, Quaesitor scelerum veniet, vindexque reorum, the searcher of all, and punisher of wicked hearts, shall giue his double voyce of dread and ioy; when hauing spoken peace to his Saints, hee shall thunder out condemnation to the wicked, Goe ye into euerlasting fire.
—dent ocyus omnes, Quas meruere pati, sic stat sententia, poenas.
And if here on earth, Seiudice, nemo nocens absoluitur, a mans own conscience condemn him for his sins,1 how much greater shall be the just condemnation of God? Then all murdering Cains, scoffing Chams, persecuting Sauls, thievish and sacrilegious Achans, oppressing Ahabs, covetous Nabals, drunken H•lofernesses, cruel Herods, blasphemous Rabshaceh's, unjust Pilates, shall reap the seed in their eternal deaths, which they have sown in their temporal lives. There shall be scorching heat, and freezing cold: Ex vehementissimo calore ad vehementissimum frigus. Without either act of refreshing, or hope of releasing. Every day hath been their Holy-day on earth: every day shall be their workie-day in Hell. The Poets feigned three furies.⟨p. 185⟩
