    The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.
    —St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)

    Like to the Artick needle, that doth guide
    The wand’ring shade by his magnetick pow’r,
    And leaves his silken Gnomon to decide
    The question of the controverted houre;
    —Francis Quarles (1592–1644)
