But it is replied by some (who will rather speak unreasonably and against common sense then lay down the conclusions which they have undertaken to maintain) that it is more eligible to be tortured in hell then to want or loose a being. For he that wants a being enjoyeth no good, but he that is tormented in hell, hath a being, and by consequent something that is good. If therefore God may take away a man's being that is innocent, and turn him into nothing for his pleasure, much more may he torment him in hell.
