1206. THAT SOULS TAKE OFF THEIR GARMENTS AND MAKE THEMSELVES NAKED WHEN THEY SUPPOSE THEMSELVES TO BE INNOCENT A certain spirit was infested by spirits of the urine who desire to infest all, and eagerly seek any occasion; and when they only suspect someone on account of his association, or because of some act of his present life, they at once judge, and prejudge him, and desire to punish him by their own methods. This is the first judgment. When, however, the soul thinks that he is innocent, he is angry and puts off his garments, and even makes himself naked, that they may do to him what they will. 1748, Mar. 7.
