For 1. In Hell every soul feels the punishment due to his own sin only, he suffereth only for his own sins.
2. In the work of conversion the soul feels the sting of the guilt of his own sin only. But Jesus Christ stood in the room and stead of all, he is a second Adam, he suffered the punishment due unto all, and all at once, and this maketh a wonderful difference. The suffering of any one person is but as the drop of a Bucket in comparison of the sufferings of Jesus Christ. There be sundry parts and powers of the soul; The understanding is the great light, ruler, commander of the whole man, in all its actions. The will is the sovereign uncompelled chooser in the soul of man, that closeth with what it liketh best. The Conscience is the sovereign judge of all that is done, doing, or to be done. The memory is the depository Treasury where all our store, good or bad is laid up for after use. The imaginations and affections are under Servants to the Soul. And all these powers of the Soul, the person being in the state of sin are capable of high torments; as on the contrary, the person being in the state of grace through Faith in Jesus Christ they are capable of glory and high joys.
