or scourge; the difference between worldly and afterlife chastisement; worldly
fortune not proving divine favor or disfavor; exclusion of women and young children
from inheritance; a tradition that hell will be dragged to the last-day tribunal
by innumerable angels; the unmatched divine power to punish and bind; and interpretations
of the satisfied soul as attaining knowledge, assurance, or salvation.'
