"The Day of Doom" is a poem written by Michael Wigglesworth, published in 1662. The poem represents puritan thought of the time. Many of the puritans memorized it and used it to get people back into the church. They used it to teach children and lingering adults. This was the first "best seller", even though this term wasn't used yet.
An excerpt of The Day of Doom
They cry, they roar for the anguish sore, and gnaw their tongues for horrour. But get away without delay, Christ Pitties not your cry: Depart to Hell, there may you yell and roar Eternally
