79.  Among the spirits of Jupiter there are also some whom they call chimney-sweepers, because they appear in garments like those of chimney-sweepers, and with the face smeared with soot; who and of what character they are I am also permitted to describe.  One such spirit came to me, and anxiously entreated me to intercede for him, that he might come into heaven.  He said he did not know that he had done evil, only that he had rebuked the inhabitants of the earth:  he added that, after rebuking, he had instructed them.  He applied himself to my left side under the elbow, and spoke as if with a double voice; he could also excite pity.  But I could only say in reply that I could not render him any assistance, and that this was possible for the Lord alone; nor could I intercede for him, because I did not know whether it would be of any use; but that if he were worthy he might have hope.  He was then sent amongst some well-disposed spirits who were from his own earth; but they said that he could not be in their company, because he was not of the same character.  But as he still importuned with intense desire to be let into heaven, he was sent into a society of well-disposed spirits of this Earth; but they, too, said that he could not be with them.  In the light of heaven he was also of a black colour, but he said that he was not of a black, but of a murrhine colour.  I was told that of such a character at first are the spirits who afterwards are received amongst those who constitute the province of the SEMINAL VESICLES in the Grand Man or Heaven; for in those vesicles the semen is collected, and is enclosed in a covering of suitable matter fit to preserve the prolific quality of the seed from being dissipated but which may be put off in the neck of the uterus, so that what is reserved within may be serviceable for conception, or the impregnation of the ovulum.  Hence, also, that seminal matter has an endeavour, and as it were a burning desire, to put itself off, and leave the semen to perform its use.  Something similar to this appeared with that spirit.  He again came to me in mean raiment, and again said that he had an ardent desire to enter heaven, and that he now apperceived that he was such that he could go there.  It was then given me to tell him that perhaps this was a sign that he would soon be received.  The angels then told him to cast off his raiment, which, from the ardency of his desire, he did with a quickness that could scarcely be surpassed.  By this was represented the character of the desires of those who are in the province to which the seminal vesicles correspond.  It was said that such spirits, when prepared for heaven, are stripped of their own garments, and clothed with new shining garments, and become angels.  They were likened to caterpillars, which, having passed through their vile state, are changed into chrysalides and then into butterflies, when they are given other clothing, and also wings of a blue or yellow, a silver or golden colour.  Then, too, they are given the freedom to fly in the open air as in their heaven, to celebrate their marriages, and lay their eggs, and so provide for the propagation of their kind; then also there are given to them sweet and pleasant food which they suck from the juices and odours of the various flowers.
