The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
75
Then
the
Empress
asked,
When
the
Souls
of
Mortals
went
out
of
their
Bodies,
whether
they
went
to
Heaven
or
Hell;
or
whether,
they
remained
in
airy
Vehicles?
God's
Justice
and
Mercy,
answered
they,
is
perfect,
and
not
imperfect;
but
if
you
Mortals
will
have
Vehicles
for
your
Souls,
and
a
place
that
is
between
Heaven
and
Hell,
it
must
be
Purgatory,
which
is
a
place
of
Purification,
for
which
action
Fire
is
more
proper
then
Air;
and
so
the
Vehicles
of
those
Souls
that
are
in
Purgatory,
cannot
be
airy,
but
fiery;
and
after
this
rate
there
can
be
but
four
places
for
human
Souls
to
be
in,
viz.
Heaven,
Hell,
Purgatory,
and
this
World;
but
as
for
Vehicles,
they
are
but
fancies,
not
real
truths.
Then
the
Empress
asked
them,
Where
Heaven
and
Hell
was?
Your
Saviour
Christ,
answered
the
Spirits,
has
informed
you,
that
there
is
Heaven
and
Hell,
but
he
did
not
tell
you
what,
nor
where
they
are;
wherefore
it
is
too
great
a
presumption
for
you
Mortals
to
inquire
after
it:
If
you
do
but
strive
to
get
into
Heaven,
it
is
enough,
though
you
do
not
know
where
or
what
it
is;
for
it
is
beyond
your
knowledg
and
understanding.
I
am
satisfied,
replied
the
Empress;
and
asked
further,
Whether
there
were
any
Figures
or
Characters
in
the
Soul?
They
answered,
Where
there
was
no
Body,
there
could
be
no
Figure.
