1277. Such spirits, who inwardly constantly dwell on their hatreds, and boil in them, so to speak, are not let into the heaven of spirits, but are kept in a place very deep down from which they cannot get out except at certain times, as many of them did just now, when this spirit became such as he did [1276]. Otherwise he would have been without company. So after that, he spoke as he had previously, and he was surprised to find himself tarrying like that, and the other spirits who had kept him company withdrawing. It was then that some were released and joined to him.
