4. When you see wicked men endured, and not presently cast into Hell, be not astonished, God hath a Ministry for them as for the evil Angels: Some are reserved to the day of judgement, 2 Pet. 2. 9. that is, their punishment respited for the greater triumph of that day.
5. One judgement may make way for another, the chains of darkness for the judgement of the great day. Let no man please himself, in that he suffereth afflictions in this world, these may be but the beginnings of sorrow; God is terrible to poor sinners as well as rich; you may be miserable here, and yet not escape in the world to come: do not think the worst is past, some have a double Hell, such miseries here as are pledges of everlasting torments hereafter.
