The execution of the Sentence, which Christ will pronounce upon you for your sins […] the last day, will be in Hell: and do you know what Hell is? what tongue can express the future torments, which the damned shall endure? what heart can conceive the miseries, which God hath prepared for sinners in Hell? yet look into the Perspective-Glass of the Word, and you may perceive something of the dreadfulness of the punishment, which will be inflected upon you, if you be found in your sins at Christs second appearance.
