The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
78
No,
answered
they;
but
Spirits
and
Divine
Souls
have
a
life
of
their
own,
which
is
not
to
be
divided,
being
purer
then
a
natural
life;
for
Spirits
are
incorporeal,
and
consequently
indivisible.
But
when
the
Soul
is
in
its
Vehicle,
said
the
Empress,
then
methinks
she
is
like
the
Sun,
and
the
Vehicle
like
the
Moon.
No,
answered
they;
but
the
Vehicle
is
like
the
Sun,
and
the
Soul
like
the
Moon;
for
the
Soul
hath
motion
from
the
Body,
as
the
Moon
has
light
from
the
Sun.
Then
the
Empress
asked
the
Spirits,
Whether
it
was
an
evil
Spirit
that
tempted
Eve,
and
brought
all
the
mischiefs
upon
Mankind:
or,
Whether
it
was
the
Serpent?
They
answered,
That
Spirits
could
not
commit
actual
evils.
The
Empress
said,
they
might
do
it
by
perswasions.
They
answered,
That
Perswasions
were
actions;
But
the
Empress
not
being
contented
with
this
answer,
asked,
Whether
there
was
not
a
supernatural
Evil?
The
Spirits
answered,
That
there
was
a
Supernatural
Good,
which
was
God;
but
they
knew
of
no
Supernatural
Evil,
that
was
equal
to
God.
Then
she
desired
to
know,
Whether
Evil
Spirits
were
reckoned
amongst
the
Beasts
of
the
Field?
