LXXXXVIIII. Poena homicidarum ex ira
But I also saw a great fire, which had various and intense flames and was filled with the cold of diverse worms. And the souls of those who committed murder in the world through the fury of anger were punished in these torments. The punishment for murderers comes from greed. il8. I also saw another fire, in which there were two great and horrible-looking worms, who were blowing on that fire and tormenting the souls that were being punished in it with their breath. But the souls of those who committed murder because of greed were burning in this fire and were being tormented by those terrible worms. Those who committed murder out of greed were tormented by the flames and suffered greatly because of their actions.

Et animae illorum qui in saeculo per furorem irae homicidium perpetraverant, in poenis istis puniebantur.
Poena homicidarum ex avaritia. il8.
Et etiam alium ignem vidi, in quo duo maximi et horribilis formae vermes erant, qui eumdera ignem et animas quae in eo cruciabantur, flatibus suis afflabant.
Animae autem quae in corporibus suis propter avaritiam homicidium fecerant, in igne isto ardebant, et ab iisdera verraibus affligebantur.
Pfopter horaicidium quippe ignera, et propter avaritiara verraes illos sustinebant.
