CAPE COD. 
There exists a volume of his sermons in manuscript, 
which/’ says a commentator, “ appear to have been 
designed for publication.” I quote the following sen¬ 
tences at second hand, from a Discourse on Luke xvi. 
23, addressed to sinners: — 
“ Thou must erelong go to the bottomless pit. Hell 
hath enlarged herself, and is ready to receive thee. 
There is room enough for thy entertainment. 
“ Consider, thou art going to a place prepared by God 
on purpose to exalt his justice in, — a place made for no 
other employment but torments. Hell is God's house 
of correction ; and, remember, God doth all things like 
himself. When God would show his justice, and what 
is the weight of his wrath, he makes a hell where it 
shall, indeed, appear to purpose.Woe to thy soul 
when thou shalt be set up as a butt for the arrows of the 
Almighty. 
Consider, God himself shall be the principal agent 
in thy misery, — his breath is the bellows w’^hich blows 
up the flame of hell forever; — and if he punish thee, 
if he meet thee in his fury, he will not meet thee as 
a man ; he will give thee an omnipotent blow.” 
“ Some think sinning ends with this life; but it is 
a mistake. The creature is held under an everlasting 
law; the damned increase in sin in hell. Possibly, the 
mention of this may please thee. But, remember, there 
shall be no pleasant sins there; no eating, drinking, 
singing, dancing, wanton dalliance, and drinking stolen 
waters : but damned sins, bitter, hellish sins; sins ex¬ 
asperated by torments, cursing God, spite, rage, and 
blasphemy. — The guilt of all thy sins shall be laii 
upon thy soul, and be made so many heaps of fuel. 
“ Sinner, I beseech thee, realize the truth of these
