Noreturn from Hell. [ 1982]

THere is a story of an ignorant Man,* 1.1 that being at Church, and hearing the Preacher set out the pains of Hell as a just reward of all those that for∣get God, said; That he would not believe there was any such thing as Hell, or any such pains at all;* 1.2 To whom the Preacher replied, That if one should come thence, and tell him the truth thereof, yet he would not believe, or take any care to avoid it. For as the party came thence to tell him of it, so he would hope to do as much, when he was there to warm another: But let no Man be deceived, that cannot be, Vestigia null a retrorsum, there's no return from Hell; Dives being there may make it his suit,* 1.3 but all in vain, Luk. 16. For as the Cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave or Hell (as it is sometimes expressed) shall come up no more, i. e. shall never converse, or transact any businesse upon the Earth again.
