Depart from 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ye cursed, &c.]

A sentence that breaths out no∣thing but fire and brimstone, stings and horrours, woe and alas, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 without end, and past imagination. Mercy, Lord, saith the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 miser. No, saith Christ, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, be packing.

Yet blesse me before I go.

Depart ye cursed.

To some good place then.

To hell-fire, not materiall fire, but worse in many respects.

But let me then come out again.

It is everlasting fire, eternity of extremity. This is the hell of hell: this puts the damned to their 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, as much as if they should say, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Not ever, Lord, torment us thus. But they have a will to sin ever; and, being worthlesse, they can∣not satisfie Gods justice in any time: therefore is their 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ever∣lasting.

But let me have some good company in my 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

The devil and his Angels.

But who appointed me this hard condition?

It was prepared of old. The all-powerfull wisdom did, as it 〈◊〉〈◊〉, set down and devise most 〈◊◊◊◊〉〈◊◊◊◊〉 that most formidable fire. And here it is hard to say, whether 〈◊◊◊〉〈◊◊◊〉, Depart from me ye cursed, or that which followeth, Into 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fire; Pain of losse, or pain of sense. Sure it is, that the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of hell are not sufficient to be wail the losse of heaven; the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of grief gna 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 painfull, as the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 burns. If those good souls, Act. 20. wept because they should see 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 no more, how deplorable is the eternall deprivation of the beatifi∣call vision?
