1387. About fish that appeared to the same spirit

When that same spirit was in the earth of those below, wrapped in a cloth or woolen veil, then suddenly there appeared a table with large fish, and a gullet. One of the fish swallowed him as he was crying out. This symbolized earthly things that he loved more than spiritual. 1748, 15 March.
