In thee it is that the Adulterer will have enough of lust and lasciviousness, when he shall embrace deformed Devils, and lie down in a bed of fire (instead of feathers) surrounded with curtains of frightful fiends. In thee it is that the drunkard will have enough of his cups, when a cup of the pure wrath of an infinitely incensed God, shall be presented ⟨p. 118⟩to him, and he forced to drink it all up, though there be eternity to the bottom. In thee it is that the Sabbath-breaker shall have enough of disturbing Gods rest, when he shall be tormented, and have no rest day nor night for ever and ever, Revel. 14.16. In thee it is that the Atheist in his family shall have enough of his prayerlessness and regardlessness of God, when he shall be ever, ever praying with his whole heart for a drop of water to cool his tongue, and God shall never, never show the least regard towards him. In thee it is that the hypocrite will have enough of putting off God with a painted holiness, when he shall find a real Hell. In thee, lastly, it is that the covetous worldling, that like Corah is swallowed up of earth alive, and yet hath never enough, shall have fire enough, pain enough, and wrath enough in Hell.
