7. When then the Saviour had said this, Mary answered and said unto the Saviour: "My
Lord, are then the chastisements of that dragon far more terrible compared with all the

chastisements of the judgments?"

8. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary:
9. "Not only are they more painful compared with all the chastisements of the
judgments, but all the souls which are led into that region, will be frozen up [?] in
the violent cold and the hail and exceedingly violent fire which is in that region,

but also at the dissolution of the world, that is at the ascension of the universe,
those souls will perish through the violent cold and the exceedingly violent fire
and be non-existent for ever."

10. Mary answered and said: "Woe unto the souls of sinners! Now, therefore, my Lord, is
the fire in the world of mankind fiercer, or the fire in Amente?"

11. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn, I say unto thee: The fire in Amente is
nine times fiercer than the fire in mankind.
12. "And the fire in the chastisements of the great chaos is nine times more violent

than that in Amente.
13. "And the fire in the chastisements of the rulers who [are] on the way of the
midst, is nine times more violent than the fire of the chastisements in the great
chaos.

14. "And the fire in the dragon of the outer darkness and in all the chastisements in
him is seventy times more violent than the fire in all the chastisements and in all
the judgments of the rulers who [are] on the way of the midst."

CHAPTER 128
1. And when the Saviour had said this unto Mary, she smote her breast, she cried out and
wept, she and all the disciples together, and said: "Woe unto sinners, for their

chastisements are exceedingly numerous!"
2. Mary came forward, she fell down at the feet of Jesus, kissed them and said: "My Lord,
bear with me if I question thee, and be not wroth with me, that I trouble thee oft; for
from now on I will begin to question thee on all things with determination."

3. The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Question concerning all things on which

thou desirest to question, and I will reveal them unto thee in openness without
similitude."
