Object. 2.1 It is said Whosoever is angry with his brother unadvisedly, shall be culpable of judgement. And whosoever saith unto his brother, Racha, shall be worthy to be punished by the Council. And whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be worthy to be punished with hell fire. Whence they conclude, Seeing Christ himself maketh degrees of punishments and sins, so that of these former, he threateneth hell fire but unto the third only: therefore there are some sins smaller then those which deserve eternal punishment.

Now, whereas in the third place he nameth hell fire, he doth not exempt the other two kinds of sin from eternal punishments, but signifieth that the third shall receive a sharper punishment at Gods hand then the other.
