“Can any Man promise us anything better than Heaven? or, can any Man threaten us with anything worse than Hell?”

“When the damned do not love Christ, nor can love him, for they have not Christ, nor can have him.”

“But all this time you may be walking in the broad way which leads to destruction.”

“Plainly, the wrath to come, is the same as the punishment of hell, the great effect of the wrath of God.”

“So charges Christ himself: "You will not come to me, that you might have life." So charge the apostles: "You judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life." Unbelief persisted in, seals our perdition.”

“The one is pœna damni , that they have lost heaven and happiness, and that wringeth them; the other is pœna sensus , the feeling of the wrath of God.”

“Reader, think of the world's tinsel gifts —weigh Satan's wages, as earned in time, and paid in the eternal world.”

“Earth,—the whole earth,—is the guilty region, on which the fire should be poured.”

“If guilt remains, then punishment will ensue—God's eternal wrath in hell.”
