Whatever I can suffer in this World, let my condition be never so dark and sad and afflicted, it is not, it cannot be such, but that every one of the Damned would think it an infinite Happiness to exchange with me, and be as I am. Let me think of those exquisite and eternal Flames, to cure my Impatience under the sharpest Trials and Afflictions I may now suffer.

John Shower, Serious reflections on time and eternity with some other subjects, moral and divine. To which is prefixed an introduction concerning the first day of the year, how observed by the Jews, and may best be employed by a serious Christian (London: Joseph Watts, 1689), p. 120.
