'That soul whose disposition you have seen, and heard his judgment, is in the most grievous pains of Purgatory. And that is because it does not understand whether it shall come to rest after purgation, or else be damned; and this is the Justice of God, for this one had conscience and great discretion, which he used bodily to the world and not spiritually to his soul. For he was too negligent and forgot God too much, while he lived. Therefore his soul suffers now from burning in flames, and it trembles for cold. It is also blind from the darkness and fearful with the horrible sight of the fiends. It is deafened from the fiend's cry, hungry and thirsty within, and all wrapped in confusion without.

Nevertheless, God gave it one grace after death; that is, that it should not be subjected to torment by the fiends. For he spared and forgave grievous faults to his chief enemies, only for the praise of God; and he made friendship and accord with his chief enemy. Know also that whatever he did of good and whatever he promised and gave of justly obtained riches, and most of all the prayers of the friends of God, these lessen and refresh his pain, after it is determined in God's Justice. But other goods that he gave, that were not justly obtained, profit those who had them rightfully in their possession spiritually or physically, if they are worthy after the disposition of God'.
