Life and Death of Mr. Badman by John Bunyan
page 25 of 244 (10%)

2. Reason will consider thus with himself. How long must this be
my state? And will soon return to himself this Answer: This must
be my state for ever and ever. Now this will greatly increase the

3. Reason will consider thus with himself; What have I lost more
than present ease and quiet by my sins that I have committed? And
will quickly return himself this answer: I have lost Communion
with God, Christ, Saints and Angels, and a share in Heaven and
eternal Life: And this also must needs greaten the misery of poor
damned souls. And this is the case of Mr. Badman.

Atten. I feel my heart even shake at the thoughts of coming into
such a state. Hell! who knows that is yet alive, what the torments
of Hell are? This word Hell gives a very dreadful sound.

Wise. Ai, so it does in the ears of him that has a tender
Conscience. But if, as you say, and that truly, the very Name of
Hell, is so dreadful, what is the Place it self, and what are the
Punishments that are there inflicted, and that without the least
intermission, upon the Souls of damned men, for ever and ever.

Badman is gone to Hell.
