Thus as there is an appointed type for happiness, so is
there one for punishment. For as it is no hard task for the wind
to scatter the dust, and as men who walk through the mud of the streets
are hardly aware that they have been treading on it, so it is easy for
the punishment of hell to destroy and disperse the ungodly, the logical
result of whose sins is to melt them into mud and crush them into dust,
reft of all solid substance, for dust and mud they are, and being
merely mud and dust are good for nothing else than punishment.
