He had mighty Operations in his Soul, his Spirit wrought strangely, and then took in such Revelations of God and from God, as his bodily Organs could never fashion into Words, or represent by Speech. He heard (quae fando explicari à quoquam homine non possunt) unspeakable Words, 1which it is not lawful (or possible) for a Man to utter. The Soul hath an Ear to hear such Words that the Body cannot find a Tongue to express. So John, in his divine Ravishment, saith: I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day: as for his Body that was, as to that Business, laid aside and suspended as useless in that Day, and his Spirit called up to that angelical Work, viz. the receiving of Visions and Revelations from on high, &c. Now as the Souls of good Men, whilst they are in this World in Sleep, and in Trances, or Ecstasies, are capable of such glorious Ravishments, &c. So when their Bodies die or fall asleep, their Souls are with Christ in Heaven: and the Souls of the Wicked they go into Chains of Darkness, Torment,2 and Misery. The rich Man died, and was buried, and in Hell he lift up his Eyes, being in Torment.
