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

You have both these set forth in one and the same Scripture, Rev. 14. 10, 11. He shall drink of the Wine of the Wrath of God, and he shall be tormented with Fire and Brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their Torment ascendeth up for ever and ever. And they have no rest Day nor Night. First, they have no rest Day nor Night; That shows they have no intermission. And then that the smoke of their Torment ascends up for ever, shows the Eternity. Yea and further, to strike out dull Hearts, with the sense of this Eternity, if one [ever] be not enough, another is added, [For ever and ever.] Which Eternity as you know, our Saviour is still careful to indigitate, when he speaks of Hell, in love and warning unto Mens Souls, that they might be moved by the moment thereof, to endeavour to escape it.

Now it being thus, this infinitely superadds unto all the former. The former Heads have given Demonstration to us, wherein the substance of this great ⟨p. 194⟩Punishment consists: And then comes in this, as the fatal and final rolling Stone upon the Grave or Sepulchre of Souls: And with the Grave, Hell is oft paralleled. Or these two imports thereof, are as two Mill-Stones hung about the Necks of those that are plunged into this Lake, to sink them down for ever: For these two things mentioned, do work in the Spirits of those that undergo it, Perfect Fear: and perfect Despair. The Effects of both which make up a perfection of Misery in such a State.
