The woeful effect of it speaks it terrible. It causeth weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The stoutest heart will then be forced to weep like a Child for pain; the most resolute sturdy Spirit will wail and moan for anguish, and all will bite their flesh, and gnash their teeth with envy. There Cain may cry ⟨p. 71⟩out indeed, My punishment is greater than I can bear. For alas, Who can dwell in everlasting burnings?

The infinite Wisdom that prepared it, speaks it intolerable; Prepared for the Devil and his Angels, [Greek or Hebrew], the word signifieth Divinam destinationem; 1 Cor. 2.9. Heaven is prepared for the godly. Matth. 25.35. And they for Heaven, Rom. 9.23. Col. 1.12. So wicked men are prepared for Hell, Rom. 9.22. And Hell for them. As if God had from eternity consulted and contrived the most exquisite way and means of afflicting the Creature. As if his Wrath had set his infinite Wisdom and Power on work to devise the fittest materials for the punishment of the wicked, and the most cutting, killing Instruments of eternal death.
