And Hell also is called a Pit, Prepared for those that die The Second Death, a term most fit To show their misery.
And Hell also is call'd a Pit, Prepar'd for those that die The Second Death, a term most fit To shew their misery.
A Pit that's bottomless is this, A Gulf of grief and woe, ⟨p. 312⟩A Dungeon which they cannot miss, That will them quite undo.
A Pit that's bottomless is this, A Gulph of grief and woe, ⟨p. 312⟩A Dungeon which they cannot miss, That will them quite undo.
