Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

Yea suppose further, that there were as many Worlds as the number in the Books before supposed would arise unto; and these Worlds should continue as many years as by this account there would be Worlds; and all these Worlds were filled with Angels and Men; and all these Angels and Men should be employed in nothing else from the beginning of these Worlds unto the end of them, but in conceiving numbers of years unto the uttermost conception which they could have of numbers; what a-to-us-inconceivable number of years would there be conceived by so many Angels and Men, in so many years, in so many Worlds? yet if all that vast number of years were joined to the end of the time wherein all the numbers in the figures of so many before-mentioned Books, were subtracted by one in a thousand years; and these multiplied as many thousand times as numbers were conceived; such a vast number of years would reach a great way, but they would not be so much as a hairs breadth in ⟨p. 143⟩the measure of eternity; and if we should suppose the space of all these years too, to be spent by the damned in torments, even then their torments would be as far from a conclusion, as they were upon their first entrance into Hell.
