judgement_n whilst_o the_o stone_n speak_v to_o reprove_v the_o ecclesiastic_n for_o their_o many_o fail_n but_o to_o come_v close_o to_o our_o time_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o that_o when_o the_o chair_n be_v empty_a by_o the_o death_n of_o alexander_n the_o common_a exclamation_n of_o all_o christendom_n concur_v as_o thou_o know_v very_o well_o to_o bring_v in_o witness_n to_o examine_v what_o thing_n be_v lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o that_o pope_n now_o i_o that_o be_v very_o well_o inform_v of_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o know_v what_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o he_o in_o hell_n and_o in_o heaven_n and_o whilst_o i_o be_v toss_v about_o with_o these_o thought_n the_o violent_a imagination_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n turn_v my_o brain_n like_o the_o drunken_a saint_n of_o the_o cloister_n or_o whether_o the_o heaven_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o give_v i_o more_o experience_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o both_o this_o and_o the_o other_o world_n that_o i_o may_v with_o more_o certainty_n convince_v the_o ecclesiastic_n of_o their_o guilt_n i_o fall_v into_o a_o ecstasy_n and_o see_v what_o i_o can_v never_o have_v believe_v and_o be_v in_o place_n so_o different_a from_o any_o in_o this_o world_n that_o i_o can_v never_o have_v imagine_v i_o shall_v have_v return_v to_o see_v thou_o again_o in_o this_o world_n m._n tell_v i_o then_o i_o pray_v thou_o all_o that_o befall_v thou_o for_o i_o imagine_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o curious_a and_o every_o novelty_n be_v pleasant_a p._n i_o can_v tell_v thou_o what_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n be_v but_o i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o i_o be_v great_o oppress_v and_o something_o within_o i_o force_v my_o live_a soul_n out_o of_o my_o body_n and_o so_o i_o

this_o my_o request_n he_o answer_v i_o there_o be_v three_o way_n to_o take_v my_o choice_n of_o one_o lead_v to_o paradise_n the_o second_o to_o purgatory_n and_o the_o three_o to_o hell._n m._n be_v it_o true_a then_o that_o there_o be_v a_o purgatory_n and_o yet_o they_o deny_v it_o with_o a_o sword_n in_o their_o hand_n p._n who_o say_v they_o deny_v it_o there_o be_v no_o body_n purge_v

that_o i_o pray_v he_o to_o lead_v i_o into_o paradise_n which_o he_o most_o willing_o do_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v his_o most_o particular_a office_n so_o take_v to_o that_o path_n he_o bid_v i_o

that_o i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o paradise_n and_o i_o fancy_v we_o have_v lose_v the_o right_a path_n but_o my_o companion_n assure_v i_o we_o have_v not_o and_o i_o be_v a_o little_a better_o encourage_v because_o we_o present_o see_v a_o few_o person_n of_o each_o sex_n labour_v to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o same_o hard_a way_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a

of_o other_o in_o fine_a after_o a_o long_a voyage_n we_o arrive_v at_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n which_o be_v very_o little_a and_o straight_o nay_o more_o there_o be_v three_o door_n every_o one_o of_o they_o strait_o than_o the_o other_o and_o at_o the_o first_o gate_n stand_v two_o angel_n who_o will_v minutely_o know_v every_o thing_n of_o we_o because_o one_o be_v the_o examiner_n
