5. They will be unpitied. The punishments inflicted on the greatest malefactors on earth, do draw forth some compassion from them who behold them in their torments: but the damned shall have none to pity them. God will not pity them, but laugh at their calamity, Prov. i. 26. The blessed company in heaven shall rejoice in the execution of God's righteous judgment, and sing while the smoke riseth up for ever, Rev. xix. 3. And again they said Alleluia: and her smoke rose up for ever and ever. No compassion can be expected from the devil and his angels, who delight in the ruin of the children of men, and are, and will be for ever void of pity. Neither will one pity another there, where every one is weeping and gnashing his teeth, under his own insupportable anguish and pain. There natural affections will be extinguished; the parents will not love their children, nor children their parents▪ the mother will not pity the daughter in these ••es, nor will the daughter pity the mother: the son will show […] •••ard to his father there, nor the servant to his master, where ever one will be roaring under his own torment.
