Dear Friends,
I Do Perceive, that Holy Angels hover about my Soul, to Bear it to the Gods, when parted from my Body, a Virgin's Soul it is, Cloth'd with white Innocency, and so fitter for their Company, as also for the Robe of Glory, which the Gods will give me. As for my Body, though
it be Young, yet is it only fit for Death, as being Due to him, for that was made of Earth, and Death is Lord of all the Earth doth Form, Breed, and Bring forth; but Souls being of an other Nature, those that are Celestial, Procee∣ding from the Gods, do to the Gods Return; whereas Wicked Souls, that are Damned, and Proceed not from the Gods, but from the Dam∣ned Spirits, Return to the Damned crew again: for all is Good, that doth Proceed from God, and though the Best of Souls doth Sin, yet God doth give them Purging Grace, that Cleanses them from Evil, which Grace hath Purified my Soul, and made it Fit for Heaven, where I do wish all Souls may come. Farewell.
