"How unbelievingly, carelessly, and senselessly most men live on earth, as if there were no such difference in another world...No one driveth them to hell, and will they go thither of themselves? ...Did you but see yourselves, what we see by faith, (believing God) and at once behold the saints in heaven, the lost despairing souls in hell, and the senseless sensual sinners on earth, that will lay none of this to heat, surely it would make you wonder at the stupidity of mankind." - Joseph Alleine (1634 - 1668)
