Oh! what an affrighting Word is this to all wicked men that go on desperately to sin, and add drunkenness to thirst? never such an inundation of wickedness as now; men sin as if they would spite God, and dare him to punish them; men sin so greedily as if they were afraid Hell gates would be shut up ere they come thither: Oh! how manfully do many sin? they go to Hell strongly in their wickedness? Oh! these are in a sad condition: Is it not sad at the hour of death, and at the day of Judgement, and after Judgement with them? wicked men live Cursed, and they die Damned; sinners are the very mark that God will shoot at, his standing mark, and he never misses this mark: you know what the Scripture saith, There shall be weeping, and there shall be gnashing of teeth. And saith Latimer, That is sad fare, where weeping is the first course, and gnashing of teeth is the second course.

Quest. Whence is it that there is this gnashing of teeth?
Answ. First, it doth arise from the extremity of Torment the wicked suffer: they are not able to bear it, and know not how to avoid it.
