1410. FURTHER CONCERNING THE WOOLEN VEIL [1371, et seq.] A certain female spirit was rolled up in a woolen veil, and indeed in one that was thinner and more whitish. She, likewise, began around my head, and proceeded to the left towards the lower earth, as it were above the roof of the wood-cutters, but not so deeply. There were a few rollings, but when she unrolled herself she could never come to the end, for, being but slightly rolled up, she was ever in the hope that she would finally be unwound; but in vain. Indeed she continued to roll herself up until there remained scarcely any axis or body. Yet there was, so that she was in the veil. Thus she was extricated.
