Whenever any soul comes along and is met by those who constitute the province of the kidneys, ureters and bladder, these are at hand to examine, or explore, hoping to have grounds [for punishing] and anxiously seeking to find them wherever they can; for they like to explore for the sake of chastising and punishing - a passion in which they take great pleasure. But they only examine those things which the soul has taken along with him from the body; for the kidneys, ureters and bladder only discharge the worn out and defiled elements from the blood, thus from the bodily parts. 1748, 23 February.
