2. The torments in hell are manifold. Put the case, that a man were, at one and the same time, under the violence of the gout, gravel, and whatsoever diseases and pains have ever met together in one body; the torment of such a one would be but light in comparison with the torments of the damned. For as in hell there is an absence of all that is good and desirable, so there is the confluence of all evils there; since all the effects of sin and of the curse take their place in it, after the last judgment, Rev. xx. 14. "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire." There they will find a prison they can never escape out of; a lake of fire, wherein they will be ever swimming and burning; a part where they will never find a bottom. The worm that dieth not, shall […] on them, as on bodies which are inferred: the f• that is not quenched, shall devour them, as dead bodies which are burned. Their eyes shall be kept in blackness of darkness, without the […] comfortable gleam of light: their ears fi•led with the frigh […] of the infernal crew. They shall taste nothing but the vine•• of God's wrath, the dregs of the cup of his fury. The stench of the burning lake of brimstone will be the smell there; and they shall feel extreme pains for evermore.
