We must next consider matters pertaining to the will and intellect of the damned.

Under this head there are nine points of inquiry:

(1) Whether every act of will in the damned is evil?

• (2) Whether they ever repent of the evil they have done?
• (3) Whether they would rather not be than be?
• (4) Whether they would wish others to be damned?
• (5) Whether the wicked hate God?
• (6) Whether they can demerit?
• (7) Whether they can make use of the knowledge acquired in this life?
• (8) Whether they ever think of God?
• (9) Whether they see the glory of the blessed?
