the

haue
more
great

the
other
after
the
quantyte

greatnes
of

And
also
the
dampned

feel●
they
more

the

in

more

more
strongely
the

hym

howe
he
bare
the
dede
whan
the

yssued
oute
from

He
answered
/
whan
myne

Any

had
leuer
caste
hym selfe
more

the

all

And

ye
that
yf
the

The

IN

There

He

Also

Moreouer

and
many

And
it
came
one
daye
that
he
satte
at
table
with
one
of
his

for
to
eat
.
And
incontynent
that
he

sodayne
and

In

The
people
was
moche
ameruayled
of

He
dyed

And
from

And
on

came
agayne

And
so
by
the
space
of

he
behelde

were

vnto
whom
he
made
a

And
after
that

he
began
to
prayse

sayd

Syr

more

And
afterwarde
sayde
this
worde
the
whiche

That
is
to

How

And

whan
my

sawe

And
so
began

to

But
she
knewe
not

it

And
she
wolde

But

and
she
ne
had
truste

vnto
the
great

And
so
began
to
wepe
and
to
tremble

and
she
knewe
not

and
anone
after

she
sawe
come

her
so

And
afterwarde
and
agayne
her
they
gryn̄ed

wheted

teeth
&
sayd
vnto
her
.
Vnhappy

And

In

And
as

approched

I
apperceyued

And
whan

¶
And
whan

greted

Alas

The

From

Than

sayde

And

she

The

This

Of

Absorbebit

And
whan

And

Afterwarde

they

In

A

Alas

The

From

whan

they

Syr

I

And
the
Aungell
sayde
.
This

Nowe
entre

Than
the
soule
began
to
quake

of
the

that
she
had
and
prayed
the
Aungell
moche
that
he
wolde

but
it
vayled
him

And
whan
the
deuyls
herde
that
she
was
graunted
vnto
them
for
to
torment
they
toke
her
with
theyr
Instrumentes
and
tormented

sharpely
.
The
mayster
of
this
house
had
to
name
Physternus
.
His
house
was
full
of
fyre
brennynge
in
the
whiche
soules
strayned
theyr
teeth
and
wayled
for
the
great
doloure
that
they
suffred

And
there
were
men

not

also
of

There
was
this
soule
tourmented
the
whiche
sayde
that

But
whan
it

she

her selfe
out

Than
she
aduysed

A

That

The

Than

By

And
God

Of

After

And

and
from

And
the

Afterwarde
he
put

And
there

And

And

Than
they

And

But

And

And

And

And
whan

were
descended

moch

Than
the

The

The

And
whan

And
so

And
whan

And

And
the
Aungell
touched
her
and
heled
as
he
had
ben
accustomed
for
to
do
.
&c.
¶
Of
the
pytte
of
Hell
.
¶
After
that
they
entred
in
to
a
waye
/
and
whan
they
were
a
lytell
gone
forwarde
in
spekynge
one
vnto
the
other
there
came
to
the
soule
sodayne
horrour
and
colde
intollerable
and
stynke
and
darkenes
more
thycker
than
those
before
/
trybulacyon
and
anguysshe
so
great
that
it
semed
vnto
the
soule
that
all
the
foundementes
of
the
earth
trembled
vnder
her
fete
&
sayde
vnto
the
Aungell
.
Syr
wherfore
is
it
that
I
ne
may
holde
me
on
my
fete
as
I
haue
accustomed
to
do
.
And
whan
she
had
sayde
this
she
ne
myght
remene
from
the
place
for
the
great
feare
that
she
had
/
and
incontynent
the
Aungell
departed
in
suche
maner
that
she
myght
no
more
se
hym
/
and
forthwith
she
began
to
dyspayre
.
For
she
founde
that
the
whiche
is
wryten
.
Ecclesiastes
.
ix
.
Nec
opus
/
nec
ratio
/
nec
sapientia
/
nec

erunt
apud

That
is
to
say
that
in
hell
there
ne
is
operacion
/
ne
reason
/
ne
wysdom
/
ne
connynge
wherby
man
may
ayde

.
The
caytyne
soule
was
in
lykewyse
/
for
she
myght
not
helpe
herselfe
/
the
whiche
herde
terryble
cryes
and
howlynges
of
soules
/
and
thondre
so
horryble
that
no
man
may
thynke
it
ne
tonge
declare
the
horryble
crye
end
the
noyse
that
there
was
.
Vnto
this
purpose
God
speaketh
in
the
Gospell
.
Illud
Mathe.

&
.xxiii.
Ibi

Than
the
soule
loked
about
her
for
to
knowe
yf
she
myght
se
the
way
wherby
they
were
comen
/
and
she
sawe
a
great
square
dytche
in
lykewyse
as
a
cysterne
.
And
from
that
dytche
yssued
out
a
pyller
of
flambe
and
of
smoke
togythers
moche
horryble
&
stynkynge
.
And
the
pyller
of
fyrs
was
so
hyghe
that
it
stretched
vnto
the
heauens
.
And
in
the
f●ābe
there
was
great
multytude
of
soules
and
of
deuylles
togythers
the
whiche
mounted
with
the
sayde
flambe
in
hyghe
in
lyke
wyse
as
lytell
flambes
.
And
of
tormentes
the
whiche
they
suffred
they
came
as
vnto
nothynge
&
after
that
they
fell
agayne
in
to
the
dy●che
tyl
vnto
the
botom
.
Vnto
the
purpose
of
this
saieth
the
Psalmyste
.
Tu
vero
reduces
me
in
puteum
interitus
.
And
whan
the
soule
had
beholden
this
she
wolde
haue
drawen
her
a
backe
/
but
she
ne
myght
lyfte
her
fete
from
the
grounde
.
And
whan
she
had
assayed
many
tymes
to
remoue
her
and
that
she
myght
not
she
was
moche
ferefull
/
and
of
the
great
woodnes
that
she
had
she
tare
and
rent
her
chekes
with
her
owne
handes
and
nayses
&
cryed
.
Alas
caytyue
wherfore
may
not
I
dye
.
And
the
deuylles
the
which
mounted
with
the
sayde
flambe
herde
the
sayd
soule
in
such
wyse
crye
so
they
beset
her
about
with
theyr
Instrumentes
of
yron
wherwith
they
tormented
the
soules
and
sayde
in
this
wyse
.
Caytyue
soule
worthy
of
payne
and
torment
from
whens
art
thou
comen
hyther
/
thou
ne
hast
yet
nothynge
felte
ne
suffred
/
thou
shalt
endure
nowe
that
that
thou
art
worthy
by
the
sinnes
that
thou
hast
commytted
.
From
the
whiche
torment
thou
ne
mayest
neuer
departe
ne
within
it
dye
/
but
euermore
thou
shalt
lyue
and
brenne
in
torment
without
lyght
/
comfort
ne
helpe
.
And
from
nowe
forth
thou
ne
mayst
haue
mercy
.
For
thou
art
comen
vnto
the
gates
of
death
/
and
thou
shalt
be
borne
streyght
in
to
the
tormentes
of
hell
.
He
that
hath
brought
the
hyther
hath
deceyued

nowe
let
hym
delyuer
the

our
handes
yf
he
can

for
thou
shalt
se
hym
no

And
they
sayde
the
one
vnto
the
other
.
wherfore
tary
we
so
longe
that
we
ne
gyue
this
soule
vnto
Lucyfer
for
to
deuoure
it
/
and
so
they
thretened
it
of
death
perdurable
.
And
these
deuylles
abouesayde
were
blacke
as
coles
with
horrible
lobes
&
theyr
eyen
were
as
the
lampes
brennynge
.
And
theyr
teeth
as
whyte
as
the
snowe
/
and
they
had
tayles
lyke
as
scorpyons
/
and
theyr
clawes
of
yron
and
great
large
wynges
.
And
whan
they
had
sayd
these
wordes
the
holy
Aungell
appered
vnto
the
sayd
soule
and
sayd
to
her
.
Enioy
ye
doughter
of
lyght
for
thou
shalt
haue
mercy
and
not
Iudgement
.
Thou
shalt
se
of
great
tormentes
and
paynes
/
but
thou
shalt
suffre
none
Come
than
after
me
&
I
shal
shewe
vnto
the
/
the
ryght
cursed
enyemye
of
humayne

.
Those
the
whiche
ben
there
haue
no
lyght

&
they
shall
not
se

/
but
thou
shalt
se
them
well
and
theyr
tormentes

¶
Of
the
Prynces
of
darkenes
and
of
theyr
cursed
felowes
the
whiche
ben
in
paynes
.
¶
After
these
thynges
spoken
and
sene
the
soule
approched
vnto
hym
&
sawe
the
prynce
of
darkenes
in
the
botom
of
hell
/
&
what
and
howe
great
tormentes
she
sawe
there
the
entendement
ne
may
comprehende
it
/
and
man
ne
may
expresse
it
ne
declare
.
That
is
to
say
yf
he
had
an
hondred
heades
/
and
that
euery
heade
had
an
hondred
tonges
/
yet
they
myght
not
recompte
the
paynes
of
hell
.
There
was
one
the
ryght
worst
deuyll
that
which
was
more
greater
than
all
the
beastes
that
he
had
sene
before
.
The
which
was
blacke
as
Rauen
,
He
had
the
forme
of
the
body
of
a
man
from
the
feete
vnto
the
heed
except
that
he
had
well
a
thousande
handes
.
And
he
had
atayle
well
an
.
C.
cubytes
long
/
and
.x.
of
greatnes
.
And
he
had
nayles
of
yron
great
&
longe
as
well
on
the
feete
as
on
the
handes
longer
&
greter
than
the
speres
of
knyghtes
.
His
nebbe
was
moche
longe
and
great
.
His
tayle
was
ryght
longe
and
sharpe
all
full
of
pryckles
sharpe
poynted
for
to
greue
and
torment
the
myserable
soules
.
And
that
moost
horryble
deuyll
laye
vpon
a
gredyron
of
yron
/
vnder
the
whiche
there
was
great
habundaunce
of
brennynge
coles
.
Also
there
was
great
multytude
of
deuyls
the
whiche
blewe
and
kyndled
the
fyre
.
About
the
enemy
there
were
so
many
deuyl●
and
of
cursed
and
myserable
soules
that
no
man
myght
beleue
that
of
all
the
worlde
from
the
begynnynge
myght
be
yssued
&
brought
forth
so
many
soules
.
And
the
deuyll
was
bounde
by
euery
Ioynture
of
all
his
membres
with
great
chaynes
of
yron
and
of
copre
brennynge
.
And
of
great
torment
and
vehement
woodnes
wherof
he
was
full
he
turned
hym
f●om
the
one
syde
vnto
the
other
/
and
stretche●
out
his
handes
in
the
multytude
of
the
sayde
soules
and
toke
them
and
strayned
them
in
lykewyse
no
men
maye
do
a
clustre
of
grapes
in
theyr
handes
for
to
make
the
wyne
come
forth
.
And
in
such
maner
he
strayned
them
that
he
eyther
brake
theyr
heedes
/
or
theyr
fete
/
or
handes
/
or
some
other
membres
.
Afterwarde
he
syghed
and
blewe
and
dysperpeled
the
sayde
soules
in
to
many
of
the
tormentes
of
the
fyre
of

.
And
incontynent

And
whan

he
had
shed

/
the

he
deuoured

And
whan
some
soules
escaped
hym
by
aduenture
betwene
his
handes
he
smote
them
w●th
his
tayle
.
And
the
deuyll
the
whiche
in
suche
wyse
tormented
the
soules
horrybly
was
tormented
aboue
all
other
.
Than
the
Aungell
sayde
vnto
the
soule
.
This
deuyll
that
thou
seest
here
is
call●d
Lucyfer
the
whiche
is
the

whiche
was

and
yf
he
were
not

And
they
the

thou
seest

That

that
those
that
be
myghty
in

shall
suffre
tormentes
with

That
