     summary: Now go, for one sole will is in us both, Thou Leader, and thou Lord, and Master thou. Cord never shot an arrow from itself That sped away athwart the air so swift, As I beheld a very little boat Come o'er the water tow'rds us at that moment, Under the guidance of a single pilot, Who shouted, Now art thou arrived, fell soul? Phlegyas, Phlegyas, thou criest out in vain For this once, said my Lord; thou shalt not have us Longer than in the passing of the slough.

As man's will and understanding are ruled by the Lord through angels and spirits, so also are all things of his body, because these are from the will and understanding; and if you will believe it, without influx from heaven man cannot even move a step.

     summary: Now in order to regain man from the frightful hell of eternity, Christ himself came to this world and took upon himself flesh, and in order that we might know the road to eternal salvation he gave us a book, and that book is called the Bible, and wherever that Bible has been read men have immediately commenced cutting each others' throats. Every religion in this world is the work of man.

     summary: The Christian Father of course accepts the literal meaning of hell fire. And the _Larger Catechism_, A. 29, declares: The punishments of sin in the world to come are everlasting separation from the comfortable presence of God, and most grievous torments in soul and body, without intermission, in hell fire forever.
