[St. Augustin, whatever he may have imagined of the fire that is to purify at the last day (1 Cor. iii. 13–15), knew nothing of an intermediate purgatory. Compare A.N.F. vol. viii. pp. 239, 390, for apocryphal opinions and a misleading note. Consult (same series) vol. iii. p. 428, and v. p. 222, notes 1 and 7, with p. 223, note 1.—C.]
