814. CONCERNING THOSE WHO ARE ALLOTTED A PLACE WITHIN THE BODY I have been surprised that some are allotted a place within the Body, whereas others are outside. But I was instructed that those are allotted a place within the Body who during their life have loved that which is good; they have not hated anyone, but put a good interpretation upon everything, and desired to perform services in each single thing. At the same time also they have lived in subordination, so that they rendered honor from the heart to those who governed them. 1748, Feb. 16.
