§. V.

5. The pouring out of the Vial, Psalm. 75.8. For in the hand §5of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red, it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same. This is the sad execution: hell is set out by Tophet, Isa. 30.33. which was a place situated near Jerusalem^*, where they offered their children in the fire to Moloch. A Metaphor to figure out the infinite torments of hell: the sinner shall lie in the furnace of Gods wrath, and the breath of the Lord, as a pair of bellows, shall blow the fire. Hell is said to be prepared, as if God had been sitting down to study and devise some exquisite torment: Hell is set out in one place by fire^*, and in another place by darkness^*; to show that hell is a fire without light: the hypocrite ⟨p. 226⟩while he lived, was all light, no fire, and in hell he shall be all fire, no light; nothing there to give comfort, no music but the shrieks of the damned; no wine but what is burnt with the flame of God's wrath: There shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The weeping hypocrite shall go to the place of weeping: while he lived, he lifted up his eyes in a false devotion, and now being in hell he shall lift up his eyes^*
