7. The soul of the rich Glutton saw from hell Abraham and Lazarus being in heaven, implored Abraham's help, 1and knew the state of his five brethren in this life: and Abraham's soul likewise did hear, and see the soul of the rich man: Therefore the souls of the Saints in heaven see, and hear the state and prayers of them that converse here on earth, and therefore are to be invocated. Answ.

For souls have not either bosoms, wherein to receive one another, or eyes to lift up, or tongues to be dried with thirst, or fingers to dip into water, neither do they use any mutual parley or conference from hell and heaven.
