1240. There are spirits who constitute these provinces, and they appear almost directly above the middle of the head, at a middle distance. These spirits raise scruples of conscience as it were, and insinuate them into man with regard to matters about which something doubtful occurs which they suppose to be a duty, and so [charge him with] sin in many things; thus they burden the conscience with matters with which it should not be burdened. There are many such in the world, and they are called the "conscientious", for what a true conscience is they do not know, but make everything that happens a matter of conscience. Thus, for example, if someone travels to a foreign country and there spends his money on things of great value, they can then burden his conscience by this scruple alone, that he is thus depriving his country of his wealth, which nevertheless ought to remain there. So in very many other instances. When such a scruple has been assumed as a proposition, confirmations and further burdenings are never lacking to this quasi conscience. When there is a true conscience it is opposed to those reasonings; for if that person did not spend his money, his conscience would most certainly be burdened as all would confess, if they knew [the circumstances]. So in like manner it might be called into conscientious doubt whether one may spend money on matters of very great utility, since the heirs, who as it appears according to law ought to be protected, are thereby deprived of it, besides innumerable like cases. Those who are such during their life, in the other life constitute that province, and when they are present they continually burden the conscience with such scruples, even to the extent of causing pain; and because they only consider things which strengthen their scruples, they esteem matters of the greatest usefulness which ought to out-weigh them as nothing.
