Human nature in its fourfold state ... In several practical discourses

But, on the other hand, the wicked shall be raised by the power of Christ, as a just Judge, who is to render vengeance to his enemies. The same divine power, which shut up their souls in hell, and kept their bodies in a grave, as in a prison, shall bring them forth, that soul and body together may receive the dreadful sentence of eternal damnation, a•d be shut up together in the prison of hell!

They shall come forth of their graves, with unspeakable horror and consternation. They shall be dragged forth as so many malefactors out of a dungeon, to be led to execution; crying to the mountains and to the rocks, to fall on them, and hide them from the face of the Lamb. Fearful was the cry in Egypt, that night the destroying angel went through, and sl•w their first-born. Dreadful were th• shouts, at the earth opening her mou•h, and swallowing up Da•han and Abiram, and all that appertained to them. What hideous crying then must there be, when, at the sound of the l•st trumpet, the earth and sea shall open their mouths, and cast forth all the wicked world, delivering them up to the dreadful Judge? How w•ll they cry, roar, and tear themselves! how will the jovial companions weep and howl, and curse one another! how will the earth be filled with their doleful shrieks and lamentations while they are pulled out like sheep for the slaughter? They who, while they lived in the world, were profane debauchees, covetous worldlig, or formal hypocrites, shall then, in anguish of mind, wrg their hands, beat their breasts, and bitterly lament their case: roaring forth their complaints, and calling themselves beasts, fools and madmen, for having acted so mad a part in this life, and not having believed what they then see. They were driven away in their wickedness at death: and now all their sins rise with them, and, like so many serpents, twist themselves about their wretched souls, and bodies too, which now have a frightful meeting, after a long separation.
