II. There are different Fires: Some are a Judgment, as before; but others are profitable, as the Refiner's Fire: So there are different metaphorical Fires. God's Wrath on the Wicked is like a devouring and consuming Fire, that burns up all; but the Fire in which he puts his own Children, is like the Refiner's Fire.
