580. CONCERNING THE INHABITANTS OF JUPITER I have heard from their good spirits about the death of those who have lived on that planet, namely, that they die in their young manhood, for the reason, as said before [n. 546], lest the number of men should be increased too greatly. However, they rarely die through diseases as on this earth, except those who have led an evil and external life; but they die tranquilly, and as though in sleep, so that they enter the other life as by sleep.
