1. Meditate upon eternal punishment; the bitter cup the damned drink of shall never pass away from ⟨p. 144⟩them. The sinner and the furnace shall never be parted. Gods vial of wrath will be always dropping upon a wicked man. When you have reckoned up so many myriads and millions of years, nay, ages, as have passed the bounds of all Arithmetic, Eternity is not yet begun. This word EVER breaks the heart; 1Cogita centum millia annorum, cogita decies centena millia annorum, cogita mille millions annorum, immo seculorum, nondum inchoasti aeternum, Cornel. de Lap. Think of this all you that forget God. If the tree fall hell-ward, so it lies to all eternity, Paenae gehennales torquent non extorquent, puniunt non finiunt corpora. 2Prosper. Now is the time of Gods long-suffering, 2 Pet. 3.9 after death will be the time of the sinners long-suffering, when he shall suffer the vengeance of Eternal fire, Jude 7.
