Neither can those spirits be led astray by evil spirits, because they live in the order of life, and think more than they speak, so that their ability to reason descends from their understanding, and that understanding is instructed, through their heaven, by Jesus Christ, their One Only Lord. This I was able to see from that spirit who was with me, and still is. For the evil breathing forth from an evil spirit cannot take hold in him, cannot become seated, but is without effect. Nor does this spirit concern himself with anything evil; he is only distressed by the matter he told about [517 1/2], which is so trifling that among Christians, it would be considered nothing. 1748, 24 January.
