that_o be_v in_o purgatorye_n in_o purgatorye_n as_o the_o book_n wytnesse_n beryth_v ben_n dyverse_a pain_n that_o the_o soul_n deryth_v many_o mo_z certes_o than_z i_o can_v neven_a but_o i_o find_v

know_v that_o rede_v this_o be_v the_o great_a drede_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o when_o the_o body_n and_o it_o depart_v atwyn_n for_o the_o soul_n seyth_fw-mi than_z about_o it_o stone_v many_o

never_o none_n here_o in_o earth_n lyve_a in_o flesh_n and_o in_o bone_n but_o if_o a_o man_n see_v that_o sight_n that_o he_o shall_v see_v anon_o for_o drede_v wood_n shall_v he_o be_v a_o great_a pain_n it_o be_v than_o to_z se_n such_o a_o sight_n but_o more_o be_v to_o the_o soul_n that_o therewith_o shall_v fight_v ¶_o the_o second_o pain_n be_v next_o than_o afterward_o be_v great_a

pain_n is_z dyverse_a syckenes_n that_o soul_n have_v in_o moche_n distress_v for_o dyverse_a evylles_n they_o shall_v have_v therein_o for_o dyverse_a dede_n that_o they_o do_v in_o sin_n and_o

have_v also_o a_o foul_a mesylry_n go_v whither_o they_o go_v thus_o shall_v the_o soul_n that_o god_n will_v save_v for_o dyverse_a sin_n dyverse_a pain_n shall_v have_v that_o in_o earth_n here_o had_z veray_fw-fr repentance_n and_o have_v not_o in_o earth_n do_v their_o penance_n now_o think_v we_o what_o pain_n the_o body_n suffer_v here_o through_o dyverse_a evylles_n that_o grevyth_v every_o where_n though_o that_o it_o last_o but_z ah_o lytell_fw-mi stound_n yet_o it_o bring_v a_o man_n full_z soon_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o as_o the_o maladye_o grevyth_v the_o body_n sore_o yet_o it_o grevyth_v for_o the_o time_n the_o soul_n well_o more_o so_o that_o the_o soul_n have_v there_o more_o penance_n than_o have_v the_o body_n for_o any_o manner_n grevaunce_v but_o now_o a_o man_n may_v speak_v there_o again_o and_o axe_n how_o the_o soul_n may_v feel_v pain_n that_o after_o death_n be_v so_o sottel_n as_z in_o book_n we_o rede_v that_o it_o may_v occupy_v no_o manner_n stead_n and_o to_o this_o question_n i_o may_v answer_v well_o as_o i_o have_v clerk_n hear_v thereof_o tell_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o body_n the_z life_n be_v of_o every_o man_n both_z more_o and_o

nought_o in_o the_o body_n for_o when_o a_o man_n soul_n be_v pass_v away_o than_o be_v the_o body_n but_z ●oule_a earth_n and_o clay_n and_o that_o be_v than_o as_z deed_n as_o any_o stone_n that_o no_o thing_n fele_v but_o himself_o one_o yet_o may_v some_o man_n ask_v more_o thereto_o now_o may_v the_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o woe_n be_v pine_v with_o such_o maladye_o without_o that_o be_v in_o dyverse_a limb_n of_o the_o body_n about_o since_o it_o have_v neither_o body_n ne_o head_n ne_o none_n other_o limb_n thereon_o byleve_v to_o this_o i_o may_v answer_v short_o that_o the_o soul_n though_o it_o have_v no_o body_n it_o shall_v have_v pain_n as_z in_o limb_n there_o with_o which_o it_o do_v most_o sin_n here_o for_o each_o to_o other_o than_o shall_v seem_v ywys_o as_o though_o

man_n that_z speak_v so_o to_o that_o other_o have_v no_o limb_n ne_o tongue_n neither_o ne_n lazar_n as_o you_o may_v well_o understande_v have_v neither_o fynger_n ne_o hand_n for_o they_o be_v spyryte_n both_o only_o that_o have_v neither_o limb_n ne_o body_n but_o the_o rich_a man_n soul_n fele_v pine_v in_o hell_n as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v a_o body_n in_z flesh_n and_o fell_a and_o lazarus_fw-la soul_n seem_v to_o he_o than_o as_o though_o he_o have_v ben_fw-mi a_z lyves_n man_n but_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o clerk_n maintain_v such_o manner_n opynyon_n as_z i_o ween_v that_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o purgatorye_n other_o in_o hell_n have_v of_o the_o air_n a_o body_n to_o suffer_v pain_n

¶_o here_o begyn_v a_o lytell_a book_n that_o speak_v of_o purgatorye_n &_o what_o purgatorye_n be_v &_o in_o what_o place_n and_z of_o the_o pain_n that_o be_v therein_o and_o which_o soul_n do_v
