1257. CONCERNING A CERTAIN CUNNING AND DECEITFUL ONE HIS LIFE, AND HIS PUNISHMENT IN THE OTHER LIFE There was a certain spirit with the others in the infernal chamber [nos. 775, 1246], amongst those who were deceitful and criminal during their life, for in that chamber they do nothing but scheme evil plots and devise deceits. The objects of their deceits are whatever things present themselves. They lead a similar life there as in the world.
