“Disaster follows disaster;
the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter
in a moment” – Jeremiah 4:20
If sinners be
damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they
perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them
to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our
exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.
