700. The hells, as stated, being so numerous, let them be spoken about in turn under the following headings:

1. The hells of people who have gone through life hating, desiring revenge, and being cruel.

2. The hells of people who have gone through life committing adultery and acts of unrestrained lust; also the hells of deceivers and witches.

3. The hells of the avaricious, and in the same place, the filthy Jerusalem and the robbers in the desert; and also the utterly foul hells of people who have lived wholly engrossed in the pursuit of pleasures.

4. Then other hells different from these mentioned already.

5. Finally, people who are undergoing vastation.

For these topics see the preliminary or the final sections to the chapters that follow.
