[109.] That women and maidens who lived in convents and entertained lascivious thoughts, and still more those who committed lascivious acts, are cast into hells where they suffer dreadful torments. Moreover, those who devoted themselves to piety alone and did not do any work are split up among adherents of their religion to act as maids, learning that mere piety in a state of idleness does not contribute to salvation.
