2744. Let me tell, as one instance, of a time when I was asleep at night. Such spirits were sitting by and with their poisonous cunning spoke with those others who were around as though it were I, as if it were my talking, and in fact so similar to it that they led many to believe it was I. And so they love to convince people of lies and destroy truths, doing so with such skill that spirits even more subtle who were at some distance from me were convinced, thinking it was I. It is all the same to them whether it is profane or holy things they use as means to obtain their goals.
