to_o be_v suffer_v either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o next_o in_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n that_o a_o religious_a life_n be_v of_o this_o efficacy_n and_o virtue_n be_v thus_o prove_v

to_o endure_v torment_n for_o ever_o and_o without_o end_n and_o the_o less_o we_o be_v here_o to_o admire_v that_o a_o religious_a life_n can_v take_v away_o all_o the_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n if_o

have_v say_v i_o know_v that_o after_o this_o life_n some_o must_v be_v cleanse_v by_o purge_a fire_n and_o other_o must_v receive_v sentence_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n but_o because_o i_o esteem_v that_o purge_a fire_n though_o it_o be_v transitory_a to_o be_v more_o intolerable_a than_o all_o the_o tribulation_n which_o in_o this_o life_n may_v be_v suffer_v therefore_o i_o only_o do_v not_o
