When you had the relation of Sodom and Gomorrah's burning, you might think this was done long ago, and look upon your selves as unconcerned; when you had the Relation of Aetna's burnings, you might think this was done a far off, and look upon your selves as unconcerned; but when we come to discourse of Hell-burnings, here you all are concerned; those burnings are past, these are burnings to come, those were burnings for a while, these will be burnings for ever; the greatest part of the children of men will be cast into these burnings, and very few comparatively will escape: O what a vast number of all kindreds, and Nations, and Languages will there be tormented for ever in Hell! what a vast number of Christians, yea, of professors of the Gospel! you had need to look to it, that none of you be found in the number.
