387. THAT THERE ARE FOUL AND FILTHY LITTLE ANIMALS WITH WHICH THEY ARE INFESTED AND TORMENTED All phantasies which are produced from the love of the body and from illicit love leave with themselves as a companion, nasty, foul, filthy, horrid, stinking, and the like animals, which present themselves before them when they are in those illicit phantasies which their cupidities or pleasures instigate, and in which they perceive their greatest delight: thus their delights are mingled with such things as strike horror. The species of these insects are indefinite in number, a part of which I saw represented; but they are innumerable, composed according to the co-mingling of the phantasies with their loves or ends, all which infallibly follow and accompany natural men who live in an inverted order of life. Thus a most dreadful hell is produced from their pleasures: for to the extent that there is a sense of delight in such pleasures, to that extent there comes into existence a sense of pain and horror when their worldly and corporeal things, which they suppose to be heavenly, are turned into things infernal. 1747, Dec. 24.
