There are some in the world who like nothing more than to entice virgins, wherever they are, as in convents, in families with their parents, or anywhere, and they slip into their favor by various methods of flattery, and entice them to whoredom, and thus take pleasure in variety. Such spirits belong to the province of the genital members, but they are outside of them. As souls and spirits, they also have the same things in mind, as well as the ability to slip into groups. But when they have slipped in during the first period after the death of the body, because their thoughts are exposed they are then recognized; for such recognition follows them because the better spirits, and the angels, know. Then they wander, and wherever they come they are refused, and if they have slipped in, they are expelled and penalized, for their allurements are treacherous. So finally, they are not let into any societies. But these [punishments] are according to the different intentions, which are very numerous. Some deceive innocent girls and abandon them, taking pleasure in variety; then there are those who by similar slippery methods try to entice the wives of others away from their husband, thus breaking off marriage love. Therefore, the kinds and species of punishments are many and vary, and the time of being purged in solitary places, longer or shorter. 1748, 28 February.
