consequent_o indivisible_a but_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o its_o vehicle_n say_v the_o empress_n then_o methinks_v she_o be_v like_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o vehicle_n like_o the_o moon_n no_o answer_v they_o but_o the_o vehicle_n be_v like_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o soul_n like_o the_o moon_n for_o the_o soul_n have_v motion_n from_o the_o body_n as_o the_o moon_n have_v light_a from_o the_o sun_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v the_o spirit_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a spirit_n that_o tempt_v eve_n and_o bring_v all_o the_o mischief_n upon_o mankind_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o serpent_n they_o answer_v that_o spirit_n can_v not_o commit_v actual_a evil_n the_o empress_n say_v they_o may_v do_v it_o by_o persuasion_n they_o answer_v that_o persuasion_n be_v action_n but_o the_o empress_n not_o be_v content_v with_o this_o answer_n ask_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o supernatural_a evil_n the_o spirit_n answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o supernatural_a good_a which_o be_v god_n but_o they_o know_v of_o no_o supernatural_a evil_n that_o be_v equal_a to_o god_n then_o she_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o evil_a spirit_n be_v reckon_v among_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n they_o answer_v that_o many_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v harmless_a creature_n and_o very_o serviceable_a for_o man_n use_n and_o though_o some_o be_v account_v fierce_a and_o cruel_a yet_o do_v they_o exercise_v their_o cruelty_n upon_o other_o creature_n for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o get_v themselves_o food_n and_o to_o satisfy_v their_o natural_a appetite_n but_o certain_o say_v they_o you_o man_n be_v more_o cruel_a to_o one_o another_o then_o evil_a spirit_n be_v to_o you_o and_o as_o for_o their_o habitation_n in_o desolate_a place_n we_o have_v no_o communion_n with_o they_o can_v give_v you_o no_o certain_a account_n thereof_o but_o what_o do_v you_o think_v say_v the_o empress_n of_o good_a spirit_n may_v not_o they_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n they_o answer_v there_o be_v many_o cruel_a and_o ravenous_a fowl_n as_o well_o in_o the_o air_n as_o there_o be_v fierce_a and_o cruel_a beast_n on_o earth_n so_o that_o the_o good_a be_v always_o mix_v with_o the_o bad_a she_o ask_v further_o whether_o the_o fiery_a vehicles_n be_v a_o heaven_n or_o a_o hell_n or_o at_o least_o a_o purgatory_n to_o the_o soul_n they_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v immaterial_a they_o can_v not_o burn_v and_o then_o fire_n will_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n and_o though_o hell_n be_v believe_v to_o be_v a_o undecay_a and_o unquenchable_a fire_n yet_o heaven_n be_v no_o fire_n the_o empress_n reply_v that_o heaven_n be_v a_o light_n yes_o say_v they_o but_o not_o a_o fiery_a light_n then_o she_o ask_v whether_o the_o different_a shape_n and_o sort_n of_o vehicles_n make_v the_o soul_n and_o other_o immaterial_a spirit_n miserable_a or_o bless_v the_o vehicles_n answer_v they_o make_v they_o neither_o better_o nor_o worse_a for_o though_o some_o vehicles_n sometime_o may_v have_v power_n over_o other_o yet_o these_o by_o turn_n may_v get_v some_o power_n again_o over_o they_o according_a to_o the_o several_a advantage_n and_o disadvantage_n of_o particular_a natural_a part_n the_o empress_n ask_v further_o whether_o animal_n life_n come_v out_o of_o the_o spiritual_a world_n and_o do_v return_v thither_o again_o the_o spirit_n answer_v they_o can_v not_o exact_o tell_v but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o certain_o animal_n life_n must_v leave_v their_o body_n behind_o they_o otherwise_o the_o body_n will_v make_v the_o spiritual_a world_n a_o mix_a world_n that_o be_v partly_o material_a and_o partly_o immaterial_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v say_v they_o spirit_n be_v immaterial_a can_v proper_o make_v a_o world_n for_o a_o world_n belong_v to_o material_a not_o to_o immaterial_a creature_n if_o this_o be_v so_o reply_v the_o empress_n then_o certain_o there_o can_v be_v no_o world_n of_o life_n and_o form_n without_o matter_n no_o answer_v the_o spirit_n nor_o a_o world_n of_o matter_n without_o life_n and_o form_n for_o natural_a life_n and_o form_n can_v be_v immaterial_a no_o more_o than_o matter_n can_v be_v immovable_a and_o therefore_o natural_a life_n form_n and_o matter_n be_v inseparable_a then_o the_o empress_n ask_v whether_o the_o first_o man_n do_v feed_v on_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o beast_n on_o the_o worst_a the_o spirit_n answer_v that_o unless_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v bar_v out_o of_o manure_v field_n and_o garden_n they_o will_v pick_v and_o choose_v the_o best_a fruit_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o you_o may_v plain_o observe_v it_o say_v they_o in_o squirrel_n and_o monkey_n how_o they_o be_v the_o best_a chooser_n of_o nut_n and_o apple_n and_o how_o bird_n do_v pick_v and_o feed_v on_o the_o most_o delicious_a fruit_n and_o worm_n on_o the_o best_a root_n and_o most_o savoury_a herb_n by_o which_o you_o may_v see_v that_o those_o creature_n live_v and_o feed_v better_o than_o man_n do_v except_o you_o will_v say_v that_o artificial_a cookery_n be_v better_a and_o more_o wholesome_a than_o the_o natural_a again_o the_o empress_n ask_v whether_o the_o first_o man_n give_v name_n to_o all_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o fish_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o fresh_a water_n no_o answer_v the_o spirit_n for_o he_o be_v a_o earthly_a and_o not_o a_o watery_a creature_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o know_v the_o several_a sort_n of_o fish_n why_o reply_v the_o empress_n he_o be_v no_o more_o a_o airy_a creature_n than_o he_o be_v a_o watery_a one_o and_o yet_o he_o give_v name_n to_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o fowl_n and_o bird_n of_o the_o air._n fowl_n answer_v they_o be_v partly_o airy_a and_o partly_o earthly_a creature_n not_o only_o because_o they_o resemble_v beast_n and_o man_n in_o their_o flesh_n but_o because_o their_o rest_n and_o dwell_v place_n be_v on_o earth_n for_o they_o build_v their_o nest_n lay_v their_o egg_n and_o hatch_v their_o young_a not_o in_o the_o air_n but_o on_o the_o earth_n then_o she_o ask_v whether_o the_o first_o man_n do_v give_v name_n to_o all_o the_o various_a sort_n of_o creature_n that_o live_v on_o the_o earth_n yes_o answer_v they_o to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v present_v to_o he_o or_o he_o have_v knowledge_n of_o that_o be_v to_o all_o the_o prime_a sort_n but_o not_o to_o every_o particular_a for_o of_o mankind_n say_v they_o there_o be_v but_o two_o at_o first_o and_o as_o they_o do_v increase_v so_o do_v their_o name_n but_o say_v the_o empress_n who_o give_v the_o name_n to_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o fish_n the_o posterity_n of_o mankind_n answer_v they_o then_o she_o inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v no_o more_o kind_n of_o creature_n now_o then_o at_o the_o first_o creation_n they_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o nor_o few_o kind_n of_o creature_n then_o there_o be_v now_o but_o there_o be_v without_o question_n more_o particular_a sort_n of_o creature_n now_o then_o there_o be_v then_o she_o ask_v again_o whether_o all_o those_o creature_n that_o be_v in_o paradise_n be_v also_o in_o noah_n ark_n they_o answer_v that_o the_o principal_a kind_n have_v be_v there_o but_o not_o all_o the_o particular_n then_o she_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o it_o come_v that_o both_o spirit_n and_o man_n do_v fall_v from_o a_o bless_a into_o so_o miserable_a a_o state_n and_o condition_n as_o they_o be_v now_o in_o the_o spirit_n answer_v by_o disobedience_n the_o empress_n ask_v whence_o this_o disobedient_a sin_n do_v proceed_v but_o the_o spirit_n desire_v the_o empress_n not_o to_o ask_v they_o any_o such_o question_n because_o they_o go_v beyond_o their_o knowledge_n then_o she_o beg_v the_o spirit_n to_o pardon_v her_o presumption_n for_o say_v she_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o mankind_n to_o be_v inquisitive_a natural_a desire_n of_o knowledge_n answer_v the_o spirit_n be_v not_o unblamable_a so_o you_o do_v not_o go_v beyond_o what_o your_o natural_a reason_n can_v comprehend_v then_o i_o will_v ask_v no_o more_o say_v the_o empress_n for_o fear_v i_o shall_v commit_v some_o error_n but_o one_o thing_n i_o can_v but_o acquaint_v you_o withal_o what_o be_v that_o say_v the_o spirit_n i_o have_v a_o great_a desire_n answer_v the_o empress_n to_o make_v a_o cabbala_n what_o kind_n of_o cabbala_n ask_v the_o spirit_n the_o empress_n answer_v the_o jew_n cabbala_n no_o soon_o have_v the_o empress_n declare_v her_o mind_n but_o the_o spirit_n immediate_o disappear_v out_o of_o her_o sight_n which_o startle_v the_o empress_n so_o much_o that_o she_o fall_v into_o a_o trance_n wherein_o she_o lie_v for_o some_o while_n at_o last_o be_v come_v to_o herself_o again_o she_o grow_v very_o
