O what a dreadful fire will this be! it will be dreadful to behold it, how dreadful will it be then to feel it! to be in the midst of it! as the wicked shall be in their passage to the eternal flames of Hell; when they shall see the Heavens on fire, and the air on fire, and the Water on fire, and the Earth on fire, Cities on fire, and Fields on fire, and themselves on fire, Head, Back, Breast, Belly, Hands, Arms, Legs, Feet, every part on fire, and that such a fire though it doth torment them, yet that shall not be able to consume them; when they see the Heavens, which have endured so long to melt, stones to be broken, and the hardest metals to be dissolved by the fervent heat of this fire, and yet their bodies made so strong, that their flesh shall not be consumed hereby; O how fearful will this be! tongue cannot utter, thought cannot conceive, the anguish of the wicked on this day, and in this place of fire▪ Mr. Doolittle in his Book of Rebukes, doth Pathetically set forth the woe of the Ungodly through this fire, from page 297. to p. 305
