1266. There remained with him in the other life the desire especially to destroy the innocent, namely, those who had done him no evil, but good. He had been very eager for revenge. He was surprised that such things should be disclosed after death, since he supposed that because no one on earth knew it, neither would anyone in heaven. But he was told that while he was being tormented by the stings of conscience, those spirits who were inducing such torment knew all about it. To this he could make no reply, but acknowledged it. 1748, Mar. 9.
