A certain spirit known to me in life who had acquired a very subtle nature from keeping to himself, was with me. Through his very subtle nature he was able to speak with good inward spirits, and to persuade them, not in his own person, but that of someone else. So they could scarcely tell the difference, because it was thus permitted and granted by the Lord, whereby it can be learned what certain evil spirits are like. But he was not among those who had the worst intentions, because he was being kept in that state.
