The moment he steps into eternity, he meets with the devil and his angels. Sad convoy into the world of spirits! Sad earnest of what is to come! And either he is bound with chains of darkness, and reserved unto the judgment of the great day; or, at best, he wanders up and down, seeking rest, but finding known. Perhaps he may seek it (like the unclean spirit cast out of the man) in dry, dreary and desolate places. And little comfort can he find here! Seeing every thing contributes to increase, not remove, the fearful expectation of fiery indignation, which will devour the ungodly.
-John Wesley, "The Writings of John Wesley"
