Id spatium terræ, quod intercedit inter limbum Patrum, & terræ superficiem. B. Limbus Patrum, ubi Abraham, et Lazarus. C. Limbus puerorum, quò nec lux è limbo Patrum, neque ardor ex purgatorio pertinet. D. Purgatorium, ubi animæ divina vi manuque purgantur. E. Globus inferni, unde Abrahamum Epulo nequicquam rogat."
