1306. CONCERNING A CERTAIN RIGHTEOUS ONE As those spirits who have displayed and affected sanctity during their life appear to be of a human white color as to their body from the neck to the loins the other parts, as the face and part of the loins, not appearing [see n. 1301] so those who during their life have considered themselves to be righteous, and wanted to excel others by their own righteousness, appear not in a human white color, but as clothed in a beautiful snow-white garment in which [such righteousness] appears. But afterwards this color is turned not into black, as in the former case, but into a brown in which is the redness of old blood, and even the other spirits flee away when they see this color. I saw such a spirit clothed in a beautiful shining linen garment, but the color into which it was turned was mentioned and represented by an obscure vision. 1748, Mar. 12.
