| #### Prologue |

| #### #### In due sequence we must consider those things that concern the damned after the judgment: (1) The punishment of the damned, and the fire by which their bodies will be tormented; (2) matters relating to their will and intellect; (3) God's justice and mercy in regard to the damned. #### Under the first head there are seven points of inquiry: #### (1) Whether in hell the damned are tormented with the sole punishment of fire? #### (2) Whether the worm by which they are tormented is corporeal? #### (3) Whether their weeping is corporeal? #### (4) Whether their darkness is material? #### (5) Whether the fire whereby they are tormented is corporeal? #### (6) Whether it is of the same species as our fire? #### (7) Whether this fire is beneath the earth? ####  |
