5384. The methods used by those who constitute the province of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder in the Grand Man when they do their work of correction are also various. For the most part they take away pleasant and cheerful feelings and introduce unpleasant and sad ones. Through their desire to do this those spirits communicate with the hells; but through the justice of the cause which they seek to establish before they administer any correction they communicate with heaven and are for that reason kept in that province.
