God's terrible voice in the city

Now Hell from beneath is moved at the number of the guests that are received into its chambers; the number of the wicked which have died by the Plague, no doubt, hath been far the greatest, as we may reasonably conclude without breach of charity; and it is certain that all the wicked, which then died in sin, were turned into Hell; how then are the damned spirits now increased? some were damning themselves a little before in their oaths, and God is now damning their souls for it, and is passing the irreversible sentence of damnation upon them. Some were drinking Wine in bowls a little before, and strong drink without measure; and now God hath put another cup into their hands, a cup of red Wine, even the Wine of the wrath and fierceness of the Almighty; some were a little before feasting their senses, pleasing their appetite, satisfying the desires of the flesh, and being past feeling had given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness; but now their laughter is turned into mourning, and their ⟨p. 40⟩joy into howling and woe; Now they have recovered their feeling again, but instead of the pleasures which they felt, and their sensual delights, which took away the feeling of their consciences, they are made to feel the heavy hand of God, and to endure such anguish and horror, through the sense of Gods wrath, as no tongue can express. Now the Atheists believe there is a God, and the Anti-scripturists is convinced of the truth of Gods Word, by the execution of Gods threatenings in the Word upon them. Now the covetous and unjust, the malicious and cruel, the scoffers and profane begin to suffer the vengeance of eternal fire; and the ignorant person with the civil, who are unacquainted with Jesus Christ are not excused; yea the hypocrites, with all impenitent, and unbelieving persons, are sent down to the place of weeping: and surely hell wonders to see so many come amongst them from such a City as London, where they have enjoyed such plenty of such powerful means of grace; and place is given to them, even the lowest and hottest, where Judas and others are of the chiefest note.
