  A serious and pathetical description of heaven and hell according to the pencil of the Holy Ghost, and the best expositors: sufficient (with the blessing of God) to make the worst of men hate sin, and love holiness. Being five chapters taken out of a book entituled, The whole duty of a Christian: composed by R. Younge, late of Roxwell in Essex, florilegus.

summary:
  For as St. Paul tells us , The heart of man is not able to conceive those joyes ; which being so , How should I be able to express them in words ? And yet though we cannot comprehend this glory , this far most excellent , exceeding , and eternal weight of transcendent glory ; yet may and ought we to admire the never enough to be admired bounty and goodness of God and our Redeemer , in crying out , O the depth , &c. O the sweetness of his love , how unsearchable are his thoughts , and intendments to man-ward ? ( once miserably forlorn , lost and undone ) and his ways past finding out , Rom. 11. 33. CHAP. But I may appeal to any mans conscience , that hath been softned with the unction of grace , and truly tasted the powers of the World to come ; To him that hath the love of God shed abroad in his heart by the holy Ghost ; in whose Soul the light of grace shines , whether his whole life be not a perpetual Hallelujah , in comparison of his natural condition ?

  Tormenting Tophet: or A terrible description of Hel able to breake the hardest heart, and cause it quake and tremble. Preached at Paules Crosse the 14. of Iune 1614. By Henry Greenvvood, Master of Arts, and preacher of the word of God.

summary:
  This great destruction of the damned in hell , is liuelily shadowed out vnto vs in the iudgements of God on earth , mingled with mercy ; as in the destruction of the olde world by water , how few escaped there aliue ? only Noah with his Family : in the destruction of Sodome by fire , how few escaped there aliue ? only Lot vvith his daughters : in the destruction of Iericho by the sword , how few escaped there aliue ? only Rahab with her family , that intertained the Israeliticall Spies . Sinne is like oyle , and the wrath of God like fire : as long as the oile lasteth so long the fire burneth : and so long as they are sinnefull , so long for sinne tormented ; therefore for euer damned .

  A discourse of the torments of hell The foundation and pillars thereof discovered, searched, shaken and removed. With many infallible proofs, that there is not to be a punishment after this life for any to endure that shall never end. By S. Richardson.

summary:
  God willed and decreed his glory and mans happiness ; therefore he willed and decreed the means to it : the end and moving cause of his willing sin to be , is for his glory , which cause it was necessary for sin to be ; if sinne had not been , how should the goodness of God in giving man eternal life in glory appeared , his love in sending Christ to die ? if there had not been sinne , there had been no need of Christs coming , nor of his death and righteousness ; most of the great works of God in this world and that to come , have dependence or reference to sin ; how should we have lived by Faith , exercised the fruits of the Spirit , or have any happinesse or glory in the world to come , if it had not been for Christ ? and Christ had not been , if there had been no sinne : he that willeth the end , willeth those things that are necessarily referred to that end ; taking away sin was decreed before the world , therefore the being of sinne was decreed ; Christ's death was determined before the world ; for the end of Christ was to restore Adam's fall ; if Adam had not fallen , there had been no need of a Christ to restore him : The Saints were chosen to life before the world ; choice hath reference to the fall , therefore the fall of Adam was decreed : If the will of man had been the first and chief cause of the being of sin , then the will of man should be the cause of Gods will , and so man shall be the originall cause of the salvation of himself , and so much the cause of it , that without his will it could not have been : and so the determination of God what to do , shall not be from himself , but from the will of man , which is contrary to Eph. 1. 11. if man should will sin before God willed it , then shall the will of God depend and wait upon the will of man : as if God should say , If man will sin , then I will will his salvation : and if God should first will to send Christ to save man , and leave it to mans will and power whether he shall fall or no , then it was possible for man to stand , and so to frustrate the decree of God : for if man had not sinned , Gods decree of sending Christ had been void and of none effect : Mr. Perkins saith , God decreed the fall of Adam ; if the fall was decreed , if man had power to stand , then he had power to frustrate Gods decree , which no wise man will affirm ; and then that saying that Adam had power to keep the Law , is without truth ; if he had , consider Ezek.

  Fire and brimstone from heaven, from earth, in hell, or, Three discourses I. Concerning the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah formerly, II. Concerning the burning of Æetna, or Mount Gibel more lately, III. Concerning the burning of the wicked eternally, with fire and brimstone / by Thomas Vincent ...

summary:
  I might here further reprove the Ungodly of this generation , for some Sins which the Sodomits did fall short in ; namely , the hideous Oaths and blasphemy of some profane wretches , who hereby b●…lch out their professed enmity against the God of Heaven , and offer so open indignity unto him , that we may wonder he is not provoked to rain down Fire and Brimstone upon them , or to cause the Earth to open its mouth to devour them , unto which I might add the aggravation , which the Sins of nominal Christians receive from the Gospel light , which shineth about them , beyond what the Sodomits Sins were capable of , which rendereth their Sins the more inexcusable and abominable in the sight of God : but I hasten II. God will either keep you from the judgement it self which befalleth others , or else he will keep you in it , and from that fiery indignation , which is mingled with it ; be sure you shall be kept from the horrible Tempest of Fire and Brimstone , which shall beat upon the head of the wicked at last , when the Heavens shall be on Fire , and pass away with a great noise , and the Elements shall be on Fire , and melt with fervent h●…at , and the Earth shall be on Fire , and all things here below in flames ; when the wrath of the Sin-revenging God shall break forth like a Deluge upon the Ungodly World , and they shall be cast together into the Lake , which burneth with Fire and Brimstone ; Heaven shall be you●… Ark , your Zoar , where you shall be in safety , and made happy in the full enjoyment of God unto 〈◊〉 eternity .

  Sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul discovering from the 16th of Luke the lamentable state of the damned : and may fitly serve as a warning-word to sinners, both old and young, by faith in Jesus Christ, to avoid the same place of torment : with a discovery of the usefulness of the Scriptures as our safe conduct for avoiding the torments of hell / by John Bunyan.

summary:
  Which is this , That God would shew thee , that as thou being man , hast sinned against God ; so Christ being God Man , hath ●●ought thee again , and with his most pretious bloud set thee free from the bondage thou wast fallen into by thy sins ; and that not upon condition , that thou wilt do thus and thus , this and the other good work ; but rather , that thou being first justified freely by meer grace , through the bloud of Jesus , shouldest also receive thy strength from him who hath bought thee , to walk before him in all well pleasing , being inabled thereto by vertue of his Spirit , which hath revealed to thy soul , that thou art delivered already from wrath to come , by the obedience , not of thee , but of another man , ( viz. ) Jesus Christ. But that thou mightest be sure to escape these dangerous looks on the right hand , and on the left , see that thy faith be such , as spoken of in S●●●pture , and that thou be not satisfied without th●t ▪ which is a faith wrought by the mighty operation of God , revealing Christ to , and in thee , as having wholly freed thee from thy sins by his most pretious bloud .
