1511. Some were raised into heaven, for a short time, and presently sent back

There are some who, when chastened, have received some ability for goodness. When they become impatient, and upset by the annoyance of chastening, then because there are some groups they can join in with while in certain states of mind, they are brought up for a while into heaven, and are among the happy, but they are brought away to the back, or backside of the head. 1748, 18 March.
