The Groans of a Damned Soul

Death does not come alone to an unconverted soul — but with such company, as were you but sensible of it would make you tremble. I pray, consider that scripture (Rev 6:8), 'And I looked and behold a pale horse, and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.' Mark, death does not come alone to the ungodly, no — but Hell goes with him. O miserable comforters! O miserable society! Here comes death and Hell unto you. Death goes into your body, and separates body and soul asunder; Hell stands without, as I may say, to embrace, or rather, to crush your soul between its everlasting grinders. Then your mirth, your joy, your sinful delights will be ended when this comes to pass. Lo it will come. Blessed are all those who through Christ Jesus his merits, by faith, do escape these soul-murdering companions. 'And in Hell he lifted up his eyes.'
