Fire and brimstone from heaven, from earth, in hell, or, Three discourses I. Concerning…

First, What will there be taken from you. Secondly, What there will be denied unto you. Thirdly, What there will be inflicted upon you.

First, Think what in Hell will be taken from you, all your riches will be taken away, riches will then take the wing and be gone, and you shall never set your eye upon them any more; you shall never buy and sell, and get gain any more, never purchase Houses and Lands, and Inheritance more, and not then have so much Land left, as whereon to set the ⟨p. 126⟩sole of your foot, all your money and estate will perish with your selves, and oh how poor and miserable will you perceive your selves then to b• when you are deprived of all your riches and treasures on Earth, and instead thereof are made to possess treasures of wrath? your honour also will be taken away, and everlasting shame and contempt shall be poured upon you. Although you may be raised to a higher seat than the ordinary rank now, then you must stand upon even ground with the meanest, even such whom you would think scorn to set with the Dogs of your Flock, or to employ in the meanest office about you: the crown will then be plucked from the Head, and the Robe be torn from the back, and all the honour of wicked great ones be laid in the dust; and they will find no more respect in Hell than other men; wicked Princes and Noblemen, wicked Knights and Gentlemen will have none to bow to them there, and do them homage, and the most High-born Ladies that are not New-born (what ever they have here) will find no Courtship hereafter, but will be handled as roughly ns meanest of their attendants. All your sensual delights and pleasures will then be at an end, they are now but for a season, Heb. 11. 25. Yea, but for a moment, Job. 20. 5. Sometimes they fail before the life is at an end, be sure hereafter they shall have an eternal Period: In Hell there will be no Feasting and delicious fare to pamper the Flesh, no carousing and drinking Wine in Bowls, no chanting to the sound of the Viol, no singing, dancing and making merry; the glutton shall there have no sweet morsels, the drunkard no sweet draughts, no or so much as a drop of Water to cool and refresh
