1. It will be universal, it will not only be in soul and body, but also in every part of both: in every faculty of the soul, in every member of the body: O the black thoughts! the dismal apprehensions! the grisly fancies! the heavy griefs! the sinking fears! the dreadful terrors! the hellish gripes! the utter despair! the horrible anguish, and confusion! which the soul will have, when the wrath of God shall be poured in upon it like water; the wicked will not only be in hell, but they will have a hell in themselves; in their consciences, they will have a never dying worm, which will gnaw and tear them; they will have a storm in their spirits raised by the wind of Gods ⟨p. 137⟩wrath, which will blow most fiercely upon them; every faculty of the soul will be afflicted according to its capacity: and every member of the bodies of the wicked will be tormented. O how will their eyes glare! their tongues roar! their hands and feet fry! their flesh roast! no part will be free from the devouring flames of this horrible burning Fire, There are many diseases which the body is exposed unto in this world, but very seldom do they meet together in the same subject; if the head ache, the members may be free; if the foot be pained, the hand may be at ease, and ready to contribute some relief unto the pained part; and if the body be sick, the soul may give some consolatory arguments to alleviate the irksomeness of the disease; but in hell the punishment of the wicked will be universal, it will be in every member of the body, and every faculty of the soul.
