Eusebius. There is a great deal more. For notwithstanding that all were tormented, yet nevertheless those which were in the Limb, were a great deal less, then those which were detained in Purgatory. For there is no fire in the Limb, and they have none other pain, saving that they cannot yet see the face of God and have the full joy & 1fruition of Paradise, the which they do farye for, much desiring it: which was unto them a great torment, as unto every one which tarrieth for the goodness that he desireth, and cannot have it so soon as he would. In like manner those which were in Purgatory, and are yet at this 2present, do not suffer so grievous torments without comparison, as the damned that are detained in hell fire: But they have yet nevertheless more fire then those which were in the Limb.
Eusebius. There is a great deale more. For notwithstanding that al were tormented, yet neuertheles those which were in the Limbe, were a great deale lesse, then those which were deteyned in Purgatory. For there is no fire in the Limbe, and they haue none other paine, sauing that they cannot yet sée the face of God and haue the full ioy & 1fruition of Paradise, the whiche they doe farye for, much desiring it: which was vnto them a great torment, as vnto euery one which tarieth for the goodnesse that he desireth, and cannot haue it so soone as he would. In like manner those which were in Purgatorye, and are yet at this 2present, do not suffer so gréeuous torments without comparison, as the dampned that are deteined in hell fire: But they haue yet neuerthelesse more fire then those whiche were in the Limbe.
