3 3Hell is called a Furnace of fire, and that's a terrible thing: Nebuchadnezzars Furnace was terrible, especially when heated seven times more than usually; yet hell is a worse Furnace of fire, Mat. 13.41, 42. They that do iniquity (that are sin-makers by trade) shall be cast into a Furnace of fire which shall not devour them, but torment them, and make them wail and gnash their teeth.

4 4Its called a Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, Revel. 21.8. Such and such (as are there named) shall have their part and portion in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; always over head and ears in this Lake, yet never drowned; always burning, but never burnt to ashes: They will in this be like the burning bush, which burnt with fire, but was not consumed; as the Church was so on earth, sinners will be so in hell.
