Tenthly, The Misery which the Damned undergo in Hell will be great, upon the Account of their hateful and amazing Companions, ¹viz. the Devils, they must dwell with Devils for ever: how have some who have but thought they have seen the Devil, trembled, and been terrified! Alas, alas! in Hell sinners shall be continually with him, nay with millions of Devils; who can express the Horror that will seize on the damned in this respect? We do not love to see such who have ruined us of our Estates, robbed us out of Malice of our good Names; a King in Chains, in a Dungeon, cannot like to behold the vile Traitor that dethroned him, that wounded him, and stripped him of all his Royal Robes; thus hath the Devil dealt with those miserable Creatures of lost Mankind that are damned; yet he shall be with them, and be their Companion, and may, as you heard, reproach them, which with the constant sight of his ugly face, will add to their Misery and Sorrow.

1The wicked in Hell shall have the frightful company of Devils.
