Not illustrated. 1845 edition. Excerpt: ... my answer further, consider of these following particulars--1. The body will be the vessel to hold a tormented soul in; this will be something; therefore man, damned man, is called a vessel of wrath (Rom. ix. 22), a vessel, and that in both body and soul. The soul receiveth wrath into itself, and the body holdeth that soul that has thus received, and is tormented with, this wrath of God. Now the body being a vessel to hold this soul that is thus possessed with the wrath of God, must needs itself be afflicted and tormented with that torment, because of its union with the body; therefore the Holy Ghost saith, "His flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn" (Job, xiv. 22); both shall have their torment and misery, for that both joined hand in hand in sin, the soul to bring it to the birth, and the body to midwife it into the world; therefore it saith again, with reference to the body, "Let the curse come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones," Ps. cix. 17-19. Let it be to him as a garment which covereth him, and as a girdle, &c. The body, then, will be tormented as well as the soul, by being a vessel to hold that soul in that is now possessed and distressed with the unspeakable wrath and indignation of the Almighty God, and this will be a great deal, if you consider, 2. That the body as a body will by reason of its union with the soul be as sensible, and so as capable in its kind, to receive correction and torment as ever, nay, I think more; for if the quickness of the soul giveth quickness of sense to the body, as in some case, at least, I am apt to think it doth, then forasmuch as the soul will now be most quick, most sharp in apprehension, so the body by reason of union and sympathy with the...

Excerpt from The Greatness of the Soul: And the Unspeakableness of the Loss Thereof; No Way to Heaven but by Jesus Christ Milton and Shakespeare; and thus it is Patriotism to praise him. But still, after deducting all this matter-of course praise, there remains a succession of Master-spirits who have paid homage to his genius, in spite of all their hatred to his sect as a Nonconformist, and to his senti ments as an Evangelical. Neither Dr Johnson, nor Dr Southey, nor Sir Walter Scott, nor Lord Byron, could re member, for their life, whilst reading Bunyan, that he was anything but just a great and good man, who had been very ill-used, in bad times. The fact is, he had filled the wide field of their vision with creations they could not imitate, nor find a parallel to, nor help admiring and thus they gave way to the gush of their own emotions, because no other writer had ever awakened, in their mighty minds, similar emotions, from such sources, or by such scenes. He thus threw the bigotry of Johnson and Southey, and the banter of Scott and Byron, into a mesme ric sleep, and left them Clairvoyant on the borders of Emmanuel's Land.
