In the mean time the Emperess was also making and
dissolving several worlds in her own mind, and was so
puzled, that she could not settle in any of them; wherefore
she sent for the Duchess, who being ready to wait
on the Emperess, carried her beloved world along with
her, and invited the Emperess's Soul to observe the
frame, order and Government of it. Her Majesty
was so ravished with the perception of it, that her soul
desired to live in the Duchess's World; but the
Duchess advised her to make such another World in
her own mind; for, said she, your Majesties mind is
full of rational corporeal motions, and the rational motions
of my mind shall assist you by the help of sensitive
expressions, with the best instructions they are able to
give you.

| And if any should like the world I have made,
and be willing to be my subjects, they may imagine themselves such, and they are such—I mean
in their minds, fancies or imaginations. But if they cannot endure to be subjects, they may
create worlds of their own and govern themselves as they please.
