Quote

It is not a terrible thing to a wretched soul, when it shall lie roaring perpetually in the flames of hell, and the God of mercy himself shall laugh at them when...God shall mock them instead of relieving them when none in heaven or earth can help them but God, and he shall rejoice over them in their calamity
