The Duration and Nature of Future Punishment
Pamphlet by Henry Constable, A. M., (1562-1613), Prebendary of Cork. Reprinted from the second edition in 1871 by C. L. Ives.
“...As Sodom and Gomorrha have exhibited to every succeeding generation of men the Divine vengeance upon full-blown iniquity, so will the charred and burnt-out furnace of hell afford its eternal lesson to the intelligences of the future. As angels wing their way from world to world, as the redeemed touch with fresh delight their harps of gold, as new orders of spiritual life are called into being, so the nature and end of sin are always remembered in that scene where so many of the inhabitants of heaven and earth had bid an eternal farewell to the life of God which is so full of joy.”
