  2. Whom he loved very much.
  3. But the woman was unfaithful to the man.
  4. She associated herself secretly with another man.
  5. Burning with lecherous passions, she wanted to leave her husband to be with her lover.
  6. After my departure, I would like you to place a woman’s corpse in my house. Then tell my husband that I’m dead.
  7. When her husband came back, the old lady informed him that his wife died of a sudden illness!
  8. After her cremation, the man collected the ashes and put them into an urn.
    I am your wife.
  9. Shortly after, the wife got tired of her lover and returned home.
  10. My wife died a long time ago. Who are you pretending to be my wife?
  11. In spite of her repeated pleadings, the fool would not listen to his wife.

 

Explanation:
So are the heretics who, having learned the heretical doctrine, confusedly stick to it with all their souls and take the doctrine to be the right one without altering their mind forever. Thus they will be unable to believe, accept or keep any other doctrine even though it is the true doctrine.
