ABSTRACT

The author makes a Transition from the Story of a Spirit, to the strange Absurdities of Mens Notions at that Time; and particularly, of those upon whom the first Impressions of Christ's Preachings were wrought. All the Notions of Saturns being a habitable World, are contrary to Nature, and incongruous with Sense; for Saturn is at so infinite a Distance from the Sun, that it has not above one ninetieth Part of the Light and Heat that people enjoy on Earth. Besides, unless infinite Power should take off the Silence that is imposed upon the Inhabitants of the invisible World, and allow them to speak audibly, nothing can be a plainer Voice. In a Word, all the Things serve to convince people of a great Super-intendency of Divine Providence in the minutest Affairs of the World, of a manifest Existence of the invisible World, of the Reality of Spirits, and of the Intelligence between people and them.
