Another purgatory tale, this time concerning Father Batt. A fellow-priest came to see him, and over a friendly glass: 'And what's the news? asked Father Batt. 'None that I know on earth, but I do hear tell that the floor of purgatory has given way and all the inhabitants have fallen into hell.
At Haarlem he visited his friend William Hermans, then turned to the south, once again to pay his respects to the Bishop of Cambray, probably at Brussels.
