Notes
Imagination
Purgatory

The element of fire does a deal of service,
as every body knows, in the hands of the Popish
clergy. Going some years ago since into a church at Gravelines, I
saw a painting held up by a priest, representing
a multitude of people in standing amidst flames, one of them
in the action of calling for a drop of water
to cool his tongue. Upon asking what it meant
I was informed the ceremony operation was performing
of praying the souls out of purgatory. I have
already spoken of what may be conceived to be the language which may be
of human punishments or human modes of
torture. The language here seems to be, "see what
"a man can will is doomed to suffer for being poor the crime of poverty."
or not submitting to extortion. What man then in his senses would want money to buy a mass? Steal, rob, murther,
any thing that you may have wherewithal
to purchase your release.
