159. [159.] 26. Preachers who know something of the doctrine of their church, and who, after they have been instructed in schools and enter into their functions, no longer care about it or the Word except as it enables them to preach and to be promoted to higher positions or gain wealth, and who thus live in idleness and are merely worldly and not Christian - these are sent into a hell in the northern zone toward the west, far from the center, where a cloudy mist appears, and they then become stupid.
