Introduction -
Division (see above) 1) First part: Hell is like a caminum ignis ardentis (reference to Matthew 13, 42), and the damned are inside it like iron and tin in the furnace (ut ferrum et stagnum in medio fornacis, abbreviated quote from Ezekiel 22, 18). The damned are first «burned by fire, then they are thrown into a very great and intolerable cold» (exemplum from Vita dei santi Padri [the same exemplum is used in the sermon T23/4 Wednesday after Judica]); the rapid succession of extreme heat and extreme cold is similar to that occurring at an [unspecified] water source in India (reference to Augustine). 2) Second part: the second punishment was promised by God: Dentes bestiarum immittam in eos, cum furore trahentium super terram atque serpentium, et devorabunt eos (quote from Deutteronomy 32, 24; other biblical quotations follow to describe the punishment). The exemplum appears to be taken from a popular - and probably real - story relating to the decomposing corpse of a woman used by an abbot to demonstrate this punishment of Hell. 3) Third part: «[…] the Church calls Hell "a place of stench", because there, according to the doctors, all the stenches of the world will gather on the day of judgment». Exemplum from Vita dei santi Padri: a damned soul shows the stench of Hell to a monk, and then all the monks are forced to abandon the monastery due to the disgust. 4) Fourth part: the darkness of hell is palpable (exemplum from Exodus 10, 21-29). Just as the blessed will have eternal light (Lux perpetua lucebit sanctis tuis, quote from 4 Ezra 2, 35), so the damned will have extreme darkness. 5) Fifth part: seeing demons as the damned see them is so terrible that it causes death to those who are still alive (exemplum from Gregory the Great, Dialogues).
Conclusion The damned will be tormented in soul, body and mind. The sermon ends with the invitation to consider the sufferings of the damned and «not to follow human sense and pleasure».
