Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

3. The punishment of the wicked will be continual, without any intermission or alleviation; the wicked will have no rest day nor night, Rev. 14. 11. there will be nothing but weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, Matth. 22. 13. The most painful diseases here have their fits, which do not continue long; the diseased find after their fits some ease and assuagement; they have intermissions sometimes; some lucida intervalla, lightsome intervals; but the wicked in hell will have no ease or assuagement; no lightsome intervals of their grief and pains; there will be no mixture of comfortable ingredients in the cup of God's wrath, which the damned must drink of; there will be but one fit in their disease, and this fit will always be at the height; they will not have the least drop of water to cool so much as the tip of the tongue, which shall be tormented in flames; their grief will not have any allay, they will not have one comfortable thought, no eye to pity them, none to bring any relief unto them: O how bitter will their sins be to them; here they are but bitter sweets, then they will be nothing but bitterness, and gall, and worm-wood, unto them; Their punishment will be continual.
