Answ. The full torments of hell are not inflicted upon the devils before the day of Judgement, Mat. 8.29. yet how can he that reads Jam. 2.19. 2 Pet, 3.4. Jude 6. deny the torments of hell to be inflicted in part upon them before the day of judgement: the cause why the devils suffer not the torments of hell fully or in part, is not because they are in the air, but from the wise dispensation of God. But why the Author of the Dialogue who thinks the place of hell to be on high before the Throne of the Lamb, yea, so near to the place of the blessed, as that the blessed and damned may talk together, should look at the air ⟨p. 125⟩as a privileged place from torment, or as uncapable to become a place of torment, I see no colour of reason; The rest is but a repetition of what hath been said before and answered before.
