What Hell and Destruction are, is a Mystery, as well as what Heaven is: And the true and proper Notion or Conception of either, are a Riddle to the most of Men. As Eye hath not seen, Ear not heard, nor hath it entered into the Heart of Man (the Natural Man) what God hath prepared for those that love him; so, nor what God hath prepared for them that hate him. For it is the same, and no other punishment but that which is prepared for the Devil and his Angels, as Christ says. And what it should be that should torment them, or be the immediate Executioner of vengeance on them, the imagination of Man confined to worldly Agents and Instruments, cannot divine or take in.
