When I was writing about the spirits of Mercury [1446], that they were promised higher knowledge, and that they were shown something like a sun and said it was not the Lord because they did not see a face-and while the spirits were speaking about this (but what they said I do not know), the Lord then appeared as the Sun in the midst of which was the Lord, girded about with a solar circle, as it were. At this the spirits of Mercury, profoundly humbled, sank down, acknowledging [Him] in anxious humiliation. Presently He was seen by the spirits of this earth as [He was] in the world by those who saw Him in the world. One after another confessed, thus very many, that it is the Lord, Who had been in the World, before the whole assembly. Soon He was also seen by the spirits of the inhabitants of Jupiter, who likewise in a clear voice declared that it was He Himself Whom they had seen. For on that earth from time to time He presents Himself to be seen. 1748, 23 Sept.
