2. It shall produce in you vexation. Now vexation ariseth either from disappointment, or revenge: why, so wicked men shall not only have a privation ⟨p. 229⟩of happiness, but a vexation in the loss of happiness. And hence it is, that some Divines give the reason why it is said in Mat. 8. 12. that in hell there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth; Some are of an opinion, that as our fire burns hot, so the fire of hell shall burn cold, but that is but a fancy: our Divines say, that there shall be gnashing of teeth in hell, in token of that vexation of mind that shall be in wicked men, because all their hopes are so frustrated and disappointed, they shall gnash their 1teeth for vexation of mind, when they shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and they themselves thrust out.
