[As said 1301], the spirits who had put on and striven for holiness in life appear as to their body from the neck to the waist with a radiant human color, the remaining parts, as the face and the loins, not appearing. Similarly, those who had thought themselves righteous in life, having tried to surpass all the rest in their righteousness, appear, not with a radiant human color, but dressed in a beautiful snow-white garment, showing their righteousness. But this later turns, not into black as before [1302], but into a brownish color having the ruddy shade of old blood, at the sight of which other spirits likewise flee from him. Such a spirit was seen by me, dressed in a beautifully shining linen garment, but I was told [he was one], and the color into which he is turned was portrayed by a dim vision. 1748, 12 March.
