Spirits of our earth were with them, and spoke with them, asking them in whom they believed; they said that they believed God. But because it is their character not to want to answer questions, they said that this is how they are and they would not tell them in whom they believe, nevertheless that they know. So in turn they asked the spirits of our earth whom they believed in. They replied, in the Lord God. The spirits of Mercury said at once that from that answer they discern immediately-they have exquisite perception-that they believe in none of them. This left the spirits of our earth speechless, and they could make no reply whatever. 1748, 22 Sept.
