There are some whom fantasies punish in this way, namely by their seeming to themselves to be running around and around in a circle backwards, either from right to left, or the reverse, depending on to the fantasies. In this way, in quite short gyres, they time and again come back and go out again, carrying something with them that is weighing them down. This kind of punishment comes to those who let themselves be led along by their desires, and even though they see and acknowledge truths, nevertheless go back on them, drawn by their yearnings. Thus they go forth into the field of understanding and recognize [truth], but being drawn by their desire, fall back into opposing it. This is especially applicable to women, in whom desires normally take precedence, when they join in like men in matters regarding the doctrines of faith. 1747, the 31st day of December.
