CHAP. 24. The death and damnation of the ungodly.
CHAP. 24. The deathe and damnation of the vngodly.
Now seeing the onset is given, and the Oration come so far, that I must also speak somewhat of the eternal death and damnation of the unbelievers, that this matter may be wholly, uprightly, and perfectly brought to an end: I will therefore briefly declare, that the ⟨p. 172⟩death, and damnation of the unbelievers and ungodly, is enjoined unto them of God. Item, that the souls are passible. Moreover where the scripture declareth the place of damnation to be, & after what sort damnation shall torment the unbelievers. Finally, I will declare, whether the punishment of the ungodly be everlasting, or whether it shall cease at length. Holy scripture doth oft and many times make mention of the death of the soul,1 which yet concerneth not the substance, but the state thereof.
