705. It was said, moreover, that heaven is never completely closed, even to eternity, but that in this case it is closed for the reason given [701], also and especially for the reason that the remaining spirits have not yet been prepared, and not anyone can be let in before being prepared. If it happens that anyone is admitted due to a [Divine] permission for special reasons, as a kind of ferment, that spirit is then rejected thence in the greatest disgrace.
