Day 16: On a Miserable Eternity.
"Consider, first, that what above all things makes hell intolerable is the eternity of its torments. It is this eternity, which is an infinite aggravation of all and every one of them: it is this loathsome ingredient which makes every drop of that bitter cup of the divine vengeance, of which the sinners of the earth must drink, so insupportable. Were there any hopes that the miseries of the damned would one day have an end, though it was after millions of ages, hell would be no longer hell, because it would admit of some comfort. But, for all those inexpressible torments to continue for ever, as long as God shall be God, without the least hope of ever seeing an end of them: Oh! this it is, that is the greatest rack of the damned. Oh! Eternity! Eternity! How little do worldlings apprehend thee now! But how terrible wilt thou be to them one day, when they shall find themselves ingulfed in thy bottomless abyss, there to be for ever the butt and mark of all the arrows of God's avenging justice!"
