3. In Hell there are Chains of darkness: In the 6. ver. of the Epistle of Jude, Those sinners that would not be bound by any law of God, shall have chains of darkness to bind them. But what is the meaning of this phrase, Chains of darkness? I suppose it may be this, to intimate to us, That ⟨p. 65⟩the wicked in Hell shall not have power to walk up and down; which, perhaps, would be a little ease to them, though a very little: yea, but they shall not have so much as that little ease, but shall be chained, tied, and staked fast with chains of darkness, that they shall not stir: And this is very terrible.

But what is the meaning of this phrase, Chains of darkness? I suppose it may be this, to intimate to us, That ⟨p. 65⟩the wicked in Hell shall not have power to walk up and down; which, perhaps, would be a little ease to them, though a very little: yea, but they shall not have so much as that little ease, but shall be chained, tyed, and staked fast with chains of darkness, that they shall not stir: And this is very terrible.
Suppose a man did always lie upon a down-bed, if he might not stir off the place, it would be very painful to him, though on a bed of down; How terrible then will it be to the damned, that must lie under the scorchings of Gods fury, chained down, and not be able to move? And thus shall it be to the wicked.
And to add to the torments of Hell, there are two things which show it shall be ill with the wicked, let them die when they will.
