The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
121
The
Second
Part
of
the
Description
of
the
New
Blazing-World.
The
Empress
having
now
ordered
and
setled
her
Government
to
the
best
advantage
and
quiet
of
her
Blazing-World,
lived
and
reigned
most
happily
and
blessedly,
and
received
oftentimes
Visits
from
the
Immaterial
Spirits,
who
gave
her
Intelligence
of
all
such
things
as
she
desired
to
know,
and
they
were
able
to
inform
her
of:
One
time
they
told
her,
how
the
World
she
came
from,
was
imbroiled
in
a
great
War,
and
that
most
parts
or
Nations
thereof
made
War
against
that
Kingdom
which
was
her
Native
Country,
where
all
her
Friends
and
Relations
did
live;
at
which
the
Empress
was
extreamly
troubled;
insomuch
that
the
Emperor
perceived
her
grief
by
her
tears,
and
examining
the
cause
thereof,
she
told
him
that
she
had
received
Intelligence
from
the
Spirits,
that
that
part
of
the
World
she
came
from,
which
was
her
native
Country,
was
like
to
be
destroyed
by
numerous
Enemies
that
made
War
against
it.
The
Emperor
being
very
sensible
of
this
ill
news,
especially
of
the
Trouble
it
caused
to
the
Empress,
endeavoured
to
comfort
her
as
much
as
possibly
he
could;
and
told
her,
that
she
might
have
all
the
assistance
which
the
Blazing-World
was
able
to
afford.
she
answered,
That
if
there
were
any
possibility
of
transporting
Forces
out
of
the
Blazing-World,
into
the
World
she
came
from,
she
would
not
fear
so
much
the
ruin
thereof:
but,
said
she,
there
being
no
probability
of
effecting
anysuch
thing,
I
know
not
how
to
shew
my
readiness
to
serve
my
Native
Country.
The
Emperor
asked,
Whether
those
Spirits
that
gave
her
Intelligence
of
this
War,
could
not
with
all
their
Power
and
Forces,
assist
her
against
those
Enemies?
she
answered,
That
Spirits
could
not
arm
themselves,
nor
make
any
use
of
Artificial
Arms
or
Weapons;
for
their
Vehicles
were
Natural
Bodies,
not
Artificial:
Besides,
said
she,
the
violent
and
strong
actions
of
war,
will
never
agree
with
Immaterial
Spirits;
for
Immaterial
Spirits
cannot
fight,
nor
make
Trenches,
Fortifications,
and
the
like.
But,
said
the
Emperor,
their
Vehicles
can;
especially
if
those
Vehicles
be
mens
Bodies,
they
may
be
serviceable
in
all
the
actions
of
War.
