Fifthly, It will be intolerable, because the punishment of Hell 1is to satisfy Divine Justice, to pay the just Debt owing to God for the breach of his holy Law; true, because sin is an infinite wrong, and the Creature is but finite, they can never pay the Debt, nor make a satisfaction for the injury done to God, therefore they must suffer eternally; they are always a paying, but can never fully pay what they owe, Justice requiring the utmost farthing: 2Nothing can surely set forth the dismalness of their torment more than this. Oh take a view of Divine Wrath in the sufferings of our Blessed Saviour, when he stood in our stead, and was to satisfy for the Sins of all the Elect, how did it bring him down prostrate to the ground, and made him sweat great drops of blood, and to Cry out, My Soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto Death! Tho' he was God as well as Man, and had the Strength of the infinite Deity to support him: Ah Sirs, this wrath laid upon finite Creatures, will sink them down to the lowest Hell, and grind them to Powder.
