A Fiery Furnace tho terrible and painful, yet it puts an end to the Lives of those that that are thrown into it, and the hotter it is, the sooner it dispatcheth them out of their pain: But the Torments of Hell put no end to the tortured, neither can the Damned die, but have an ever-dying Life, and an everlasting Death; it is a Death which hath no Death, The Worm dyeth not.
II. The Torment of a Fiery Furnace can reach but the outward Man, it cannot destroy the Soul: But the Torments of Hell reach to the very Soul, called the Perdition or Destruction of Ungodly Men, both of Soul and Body.
III. The hottest Furnace in the World may abate its heat for want of Fuel, and at length be wholly extinguished; however its Terrors and Pains are but short and momentary: But the tormenting Fire of Hell never abates its heat, nor ever goeth out, therefore called everlasting Fire; now to add Eternity to Extremity, and then you will perceive Hell to be Hell indeed.
IV. Other Fire may be quenched: But the Fire of God's Wrath, or Hell Fire, shall never be quenched, Ut supra.
