Rev.

And
they
blafphemedthe
God
of Heaven,
decau
fe
of
their pains
mod
farrows
:
Now that
is fpoken
of
the heat
+,
of
Antichrift
;
but
if
men
here
blafpheme
God becaufe
of
pains,
what
(hall
they do
that
are
damned
in
Hell
?
they
that (hall
have
the
vials
of
Gods
wrath poured
out upon
them? But
you
will
ask, how
loth
it
appear
that
for the
wicked to
bee given
up to fin is fuch an evil
unto them
,
whereas
here it
is
their delight
to
commit
fin
?
To
which
I
anfwer,
though
they love fin, and
though fin bee
their de-
light
here, yet
hereafter,
when
they
are call
off
from
God
for
ever
,
then
they
(hall not
finde
that
delight
in fin',
as
.
now
they
do
:
as
to
give you
it
in
an example
,
put
a
fifh
into
a
pot
of water,
and
the
fish
doth
fwim, and
play, and
delight
therein,
becaufe
it
is
the
proper
element
of
the
fish
to
bee in
the
water; but
now ,
if
you
do
but
put
fire
under
that pot
of
Fvater
wherein the fidi doth play and take
de-
light,
why
then that
which was
before
the delight
and,
ele-
ment
of
the
&
la,
thereby becomes
its
pain
and
torture
t
`fo,
though fin
in
this
life
is
delightful unto
wicked
men ,
be-
caufe
it
is
their proper
element
to bee
in
fin
in
this
life, yet
hereafter
fin
(hall
bee
their pain,
becaufe then
there
(hall
bee4nixt with
it
the wrath of
God,
which
will
make it
pain
and.
torture. Again,
the lofs of
the
foul confifts
in
'this,
when
the foal
is
fully
poffefl'ed
of all
the'evils
that
are. con-
trary to
all the
good
it
is
capable
of:
Thus
fhaIl`
it
be
with
the
loft
foui
eternally:
That
as
the/Saints
{hall
bee inlarged
and made tnóre
capable
of
good,
which they.
(hall

:

thofe
that

wicked
and
loft fouls,
which
(hall
bee

hhall
bee
inlarged
in
their capacities,
and
bee
poffeffed, and
made
capable
of all contrary evils.
To bee
