Here are we come to the Paper Walls, and Painted Fires of Purgatory. For so it liked M. Harding, not long sithence, pleasantly to sport at it in the Pulpits, as a bug meet only to fray Children. Yet now, upon better advise, and deeper study, he trembleth, God wot, and quaketh for fear, to remember the torments, that some body hath sithence told him to be there.
