"The wrath of God is like great water that are dammed for the present."
2. "Your wickedness makes you as if you were as heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards Hell."
3. "The God that holds you over the pit of Hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and us dreadfully provoked..."
