IT is upon the wicked that the Lord will rain this horrible Tempest of Fire and Brimstone in Hell▪ all the workers of iniquity, all that live and dye in their Sins must suffer the vengeance of Eternal fire. These are the Chaff which shall be cast into the unquenchable Fire. Math. 3. 12. These are the tares which shall be bound up in bundles to be burnt. Math. 13. 30. These are the Goats, which shall be condemned to everlasting fire. Math. 25. 41. Look into a few places where in the plain Letter of the Scriptures, the persons are described, that shall be the subject of everlasting torment in Hell-fire. Math. 13. 41, 42. The Son of Man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his Kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a Furnace of Fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Rom. 2. 6, 8, 9. Who will render to every man according to his deeds, to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish upon every soul of Man, that doth evil of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile. 2 Thess. 1. 7, 8, 9. The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels in flaming, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and obey not the Gospel; who shall be punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his Power. Take one place more amongst many, Rev. 21. 8. But ⟨p. 108⟩the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and Murderers, and Where-mongers and S•rceers, and Idolaters, and all Liars shall have their part in the Lake, which burneth with Fire and Brimstone. I shall spake more of the persons, when I come to the application, which I would chiefly insist u•n, the Doctrine being so well known, and therefore I shall but briefly touch upon the reason, why the wicked shall be eternally tormented in the flame of Hell, and so come to the Use, which I mainly intend.
