1257. About a wily and deceitful person, and his life, and his punishment in the other life

There was a spirit in the hellish Chamber [see 909, 1246-9] together with others, among those who had been deceitful criminals in life. For in that place all they do is concoct intrigues and think up tricks. The objects of their tricks are whatever things present themselves, and they lead the same life there as they lead in the world.
