1374. The one who had been wrapped up, having become accustomed to injuries and persecutions in his lifetime (because he had then been content that it was granted him to endure them) seemed because of this acquired character trait to be calming down, which he said was his doing. Moreover he was made to speak a great deal, so as to find out what effect that punishment had on him, whether he would say that he could endure it. He was also made to say that there was nothing in him but what is filthy and devilish.
