All their carnal mirth: 107 5. All their sensual delights, ibid The torments of hell which the damned suffer, 108 1. The principal author of them is God himself, 109 2. The place or state of torment: ibid 3. These torments are the effects of Divine vengeance, 110 4. God will take pleasure in executing them; ibid 5. God's executioners are Satan and sinners themselves, 111 6. These torments will be universal; ibid 7. Without any mitigation; 112 8. And eternal, 113 The sinner convinced of his folly in venturing on hell, 114 And entreated to fly for safety to Christ. 115
