In a word, the Manna of those upper heavens, which is the Angelical food the Saints live on, is not subject to breed worms, which may corrupt their constitution: behold! the worm is only in the nether place of darkness; and yet neither can that eat out any part of the subject on ⟨p. 94⟩which it feedeth! Oh how sweet would that worm be to the Reprobates, if but once in a thousand years it might eat out but a piece of them, till they were utterly consumed! but woe and alas! the worm knows only how to augment, but not how to shorten the torments of the damned; but as it is a never dying worm it self, so is the miserable subject also upon which it feedeth; there is fire in hell, but it is such only as doth nourish its fuel, not diminish it: Whence should this be, But because the breath of the Lord like a stream of brimstone doth kindle it?1
