But Whither must they Depart? 1. Into fire. 2. Into that fire which was prepared for the Devil and his Angels. 3. Into everlasting fire.
1. Not into a Purifying, but a Tormenting fire. Whether Elementary or not; whether properly or Metaphorically called ⟨p. 193⟩sire, let us not vainly trouble our selves to enquire. It is enough to know, that as fire is one of the most grievous Tormentors of the flesh, so grievous will be those infernal Torments to the whole man, soul and body. Such as is most fitly represented to us under the notion of fire, and of burning. Its easy for a secure unbelieving soul to read and hear of it! but woe, and ten thousand woes to them that must endure it. In this life they had their good things, when it went harder as to the flesh with better men; but now they are tormented, when the Godly are comforted, as Luke 16.25.
