John Trapp on Matthew 11:24

Verse 24. It shall be more tolerable] Infidelity then is, in some respect, a worse sin then Sodomy, and a heavier doom abides it. They that suffer least in hell, suffer more then [illegible: 1 word] can either abide or avoid. All they suffer here, is but typicall of the wrath to come. Here the leaves only fall upon them, as it were, but there the whole trees too. Here they sip of the top of Gods cup, there they must drink the dregs, though it be eternity to the bottom. Howbeit [illegible: 1 word] shall suffer lesse then [illegible: 1 word], mitiùs punietur Cicero quam Catilina, saith an Ancient, non quòd bonus, sed quod minùs malus. The beast and the false Prophet were cast alive into the [illegible: 2 words] genus. Pareus. burning lake (which imports a most direfull and dreadfull degree of torment) when the rest of the Antichristian rabble shall be first slain with the sword (not cast in alive) and then thrown to the infernall vultures, to be torn in pieces as a prey. Rev. 19. 20. 21.
