The torments after death. Dedicated to the Protestant, Greek and Romish churches. Delivered in a conference with a greater proficient in the school of atheism than the late Earl of Rochester. This Leviathan died in greater Agonies of Despair than Francis Spira. The Reason he gave for his Infidelity, he said, was the Doctrine of the Clergy, who teach their Audience what Hell is not, and not what it really is. To which are added, articles to establish relief for indigent families, without Expence to the Donors; and those that will be at the Charge of One Shilling and Nine-Pence, may make a Dinner to satisfy fourscore and four Persons. It is made appear, that this Charity (within the Bills of Mortality only) may bring in the Value of 2000 l. every Week, for the Industrious Poor. As also Articles to establish in all Houses a Sacrifice of Charity to be offer'd up to God every Sabbath-Day in the Morning. The Money to be applied to cloath the Naked, relieve the Sick, release Prisoners, and to lay in Coals or other Fuel, to comfort Widows and Orphans, when the Days are short, and the Nights cold and tedious.
