At midday, around lunch time, an angel who was with me cautioned me not to overindulge my stomach at table. While he was with me, a kind of vapor clearly appeared to me to be issuing from the pores of my body, having a visibly very watery quality. It seemed to sink down toward the floor, where there was a carpet on which the vapor, coming together, turned into different kinds of tiny worms. These, gathered together under the table, in an instant, and with a crackling sound, just burned up. I saw the fiery flash, and heard the noise, and judged that all the little worms that can be generated by an immoderate appetite had thus been cast out of my body and burned up, and that I had now been cleansed of them. From this experience, one may infer what sumptuous living and the like, harbor within them. 1745, April. [See 93a].* * See also R.L. Tafel, Documents, vol. II, pp. 35-36.
