Sin deserveth no less than an infinite and an eternal punishment, therefore unless the Damned could give an infinite Satisfaction by suffering, they must suffer eternally, for they must lye in Prison until they have paid the uttermost farthing: But alas, how should they make full payment to Gods Justice who run continually into Debt, more and more! for the Damned in Hell do not cease sinning, they will sin to Eternity, and therefore must suffer to Eternity.

4. Nay, they will sin with the greatest Fury and Madness against God, when they come to be under the greatest sense of Despair imaginable; they will sin then like as the Devils do now, and will for ever, when they see they are deprived of all good, and only possess what is evil: O how will they hate God, blaspheme his holy Name for evermore! the blessed God is the Object of their Curses and eternal Aversation; in Hell is weeping and gnashing of Teeth. Extreme Sorrow and extreme Fury, Despair and Rage (saith one) are proper Passions of lost Souls; their Enmity against God is direct and explicit, the Fever is heightened into a Frenzy.
