doubtless the trouble of the spirit shall not only take away the office of the members, (as ye see in this place the speech of the tongue, and the closing of the eyes, be taken away:) but at the length also, God shall make the same body and the same members to rise again at the general resurrection,1 and they shall suffer with the wicked spirit eternal pains.2 Let this doctrine therefore teach all men to know and feel the cruelty of sin, that so painfully unquieteth doth body and soul, and think that if these grudgings, discomforts, terrors and fears be so great, that death it self is more tolerable and easy to bear: how much more intolerable and ⟨p. 101⟩unspeakable be the pains of hell, which God hath ordained for all impenitent sinners?3 After this verse of trouble and anguish,4 whereas we see sleep taken from the eyes, and speech from the tongue: followeth next, how these great sorrows were mollified and somewhat diminished.
