2 There will be intolerable horror and pain: if thunder, lightning, and earthquakes make men afraid, and shrink together, what will hell do! If the throbbing Tooth-ache, the gnawing Gout, &c. put men to such exquisite pains, what will hell do! If sickness make us fear death, and the fear of death be so dreadful, what will hell be! If you Felix-like tremble to hear of this judgment to come, what would you do, if you were to undergo it! If seeing ugly and devilish shapes affright us, what will it do to be with the devil and his Angels!
