The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
57
After
the
Empress
had
thus
finish'd
the
Discourses
and
Conferences
with
the
mentioned
societies
of
her
Vertuoso's,
she
considered
by
her
self
the
manner
of
their
Religion,
and
finding
it
very
defective,
was
troubled,
that
so
wise
and
knowing
a
people
should
have
no
more
knowledg
of
the
Divine
Truth;
Wherefore
she
consulted
with
her
own
thoughts,
whether
it
was
possible
to
convert
them
all
to
her
own
Religion,
and
to
that
end
she
resolved
to
build
Churches,
and
make
also
up
a
Congregation
of
Women,
whereof
she
intended
to
be
the
head
her
self,
and
to
instruct
them
in
the
several
points
of
her
Religion.
This
she
had
no
sooner
begun,
but
the
Women,
which
generally
had
quick
wits,
subtile
conceptions,
clear
understandings,
and
solid
judgments,
became,
in
a
short
time,
very
devout
and
zealous
Sisters;
for
the
Empress
had
an
excellent
gift
of
Preaching,
and
instructing
them
in
the
Articles
of
Faith;
and
by
that
means,
she
converted
them
not
onely
soon,
but
gained
an
extraordinary
love
of
all
her
Subjects
throughout
that
World.
But
at
last,
pondering
with
her
self
the
inconstant
nature
of
Mankind,
and
fearing
that
in
time
they
would
grow
weary,
and
desert
the
divine
Truth,
following
their
own
fancies,
and
living
according
to
their
own
desires;
she
began
to
be
troubled
that
her
labours
and
pains
should
prove
of
so
little
effect,
and
therefore
studied
all
manner
of
ways
to
prevent
it.
