Chapter XI

Text size

Another Question amongst the Parts of my Mind concerning _Restoring-Beds_, or _Wombs_, was: _That in case there were such Restoring-Beds in Nature, as in all probability there were; Where could those Restoring-Beds be?_ viz. _Whether there were any in this World? If not in this World, in any other World?_

The Minor Parts were of opinion, There were none in this World; but, that there were some in other Worlds.

The Major Part's Opinion, was, That there were such Beds; but, that Human Creatures would not know them, though they could perceive them: nor, if they could perceive them, could they tell how to make use of them.

At last they all agreed, That those _Restoring-Beds_ were in the Center of the World: but, where the Center is, no Human Creature, no, not the most Subtile and _Learned Mathematicians, Geometricians_, or _Astrologers_, could, with their most Laborious Arts, and Subtile Observations, know; and therefore, unless by a special Decree from God, no such Restoration can be made.
