Two discourses I. of the punishment of sin in hell, demonstrating the wrath of…

1. That the nature of Man is so framed, as it is capable to receive discomfort, as well as comfort from every Creature: the least Creature hath a sting in it, as well as Honey, unto something or other, in Man's Nature, if it be applied and turned against it. 2.

Think then what Punishment from their mixture, can he invent and temper; and put all the Venoms, (the dregs) into one Cup, as the Psalmist speaks: And as by some lesser proportion we may estimate this, by what those that know the secrets of Nature can effect, above what other Men, as Solomon did. Now 3. Raise up your apprehensions from these two steps of comparison thus first laid: If, (as the Psalmist says,) He that made the Eye, shall not he see? speaking of that infinite Omniscience in God Himself, above what is in the Creatures: Say I then in this case, if ⟨p. 121⟩the Creatures, that God hath made, may thus be supposed able to work anguish to a Man, Dolour and Misery: what then can God, the great God, that made all these himself, immediately inflict?

So we may of all these Suppositions, and still say, these are but of what Creatures can do; who are Creatures, and not God; Flesh and not Spirit.
