1269. The same spirit who was found out to have killed a certain innocent person with poison [1260-6], appears to have been such a one as not to desist for any reason, however true, from the passion for vengeance even unto death. He tarried with me, and he was of the kind that all the reasons told to him were not the least bit valid, and did not even enter his field of vision. They were like nothing, even to the point that when I realized this, I saw that he was not like a human being, who is open to reasons from other people and turns them over in his mind, but like a beast.
