Dialogu And truly it seems to me that the holy Scriptures do confine hell-torments to the proper place of hell it self, which is seated on high before the Throne of the Lamb, Rev. 14.10. and Solomon doth tell us, that all mens souls both good and bad do ascend, Eccl. 3.21. and the Hebrew Doctors hold generally that hell is above as well as heaven: and Learned M. Richardson doth probably conjecture in his Philosophical Annotations on Gen. 1. that hell-place is seated in the Element of fire, and why may it not be so, seeing its place is next before the Throne of the Lamb where John doth place it, Rev. 14.10. And it is certain by Lukes Parable that hell is seated near unto heaven, or else the comparisons that Luke useth to describe their nearness, were absurd.
