What bliss will fill the ransomed souls,
When they in glory dwell,
To see the sinner as he rolls,
In the quenchless FLAME of hell.
St. Anthony Mary Claret
We have heard…of some who have endured breaking on the Wheel, ripping up of their Bowels, fleaing alive, racking of the joints, burning of Flesh, pounding in a mortar, tearing in pieces with Flesh-hooks, boyling in Oyl, roasting on hot fiery Gridirons, etc. And yet all these, tho' you should superad thereto all Diseases, such as the Plague, Stone, gout, Strangury, or whatever else you can name most torturing to the Body…they would all come short…of that Wrath, that Horror, that unconceivable Anguish, which the Damned must inevitably suffer every Moment, without any Intermission of their pains, from Hellish FLAME . –(Heaven and Hell, 1700s)
