628. * Continuation on the spirits of the inhabitants of Jupiter

From their method of chastising their people, it is evident that their angels exercise a kind of judgment upon a person, or that they judge their people, and their spirits also. For as said, they stand by, control the punishers, moderating or allowing, so that a kind of judgment can be ascribed to them. Nevertheless, they had been clearly told that while they may think they are judging, yet the Lord Alone is judge, and that He so moderates their lives that they know no otherwise but that it is they who are judging. * In the manuscript this number appears to be deleted.
