Quest. But shall there not be an end of the Torments of the Damned? will infinite Goodness be so severe with his offending Creatures? can this stand consistent with the Sweetness of his Nature and infinite mercy?
Answ. I Answer, there is a Perfection in every one of Gods divine Attributes; as his Love is infinite to such who are his Elect ones, who do believe in him, honour and obey him, so is his Hatred infinite to all those who despise, hate and dishonour him.
2. God will be sure glorify his Veracity, or the Truth of his Threatening: He that hath said, the righteous shall be saved with an everlasting Salvation, or shall have eternal Life, hath said, that the wicked shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the Glory of his Power: They are 1tormented day and night for ever and ever. Now since God hath Decreed and denounced eternal punishment to obstinate sinners, it is sufficient to satisfy all Doubts about the Justice of it. Let God be true, and every man a Liar; for divine Justice and Wrath is the Correspondence of his Will, Actions, and Holiness of his Nature to the damned: As divine Love and ⟨p. 65⟩Goodness is to such who are saved; we may therefore, saith one, as easily conceive there is no God, as that God is unjust, because absolute Rectitude is an inseparable perfection of his Nature; is God unrighteous who taketh Vengeance?
