216. [218.] 78. Many were examined who in their final hours had received the Eucharist and who then believed they would be saved by that faith of theirs, believing it with trust and confidence; and yet evil of life remained and not faith. They were told to hold their breath and hang on to that faith; but nevertheless, as soon as they began to breathe again, the delight of evil which had formed their life returned, and they were cast into hell.
