1512. THAT KINGS AND MAGNATES ARE TREATED IN THE SAME WAY AS MEN OF THE LOWEST CLASS When souls come into the heaven of spirits no distinction is made in regard to kings and magnates, thus there is no respect of persons. I have known some of great dignity and power with whom I associated and conversed for a long time. They were treated by spirits with as much indignity as if they were of the lowest class, so that at length they themselves confessed that to be powerful, great, or learned in the world is of no account whatever. 1748, Mar. 18.
