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

be_v suffer_v in_o purgatory_n fire_n and_o this_o fire_n i_o tell_v you_o though_o it_o be_v not_o everlasting_a yet_o it_o be_v pass_o grievous_a for_o it_o do_v exceed_v all_o pain_n that_o man_n can_v suffer_v in_o this_o life_n in_o this_o place_n now_o i_o will_v descend_v to_o show_v that_o most_o holy_a servant_n of_o god_n have_v be_v great_o afraid_a of_o the_o pain_n of_o this_o purge_a fire_n now_o if_o such_o man_n of_o eminency_n for_o virtue_n and_o piety_n have_v stand_v in_o such_o fear_n and_o horror_n thereof_o what_o then_o shall_v become_v almost_o of_o all_o

fire_n i_o will_v then_o first_o set_v down_o the_o word_n of_o s._n gregory_n touch_v the_o dread_n that_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v of_o the_o temporal_a fire_n of_o purgatory_n thus_o than_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

from_o who_o word_n we_o may_v conceive_v in_o what_o fear_n of_o purgatory_n both_o david_n as_o also_o s_o gregory_n himself_o allow_v the_o judgement_n of_o david_n do_v stand_v s._n ambrose_n
