178. The garments with which the angels are clothed, like all their other things, correspond and because they correspond they have real existence (see above n. 175). Their garments correspond to their intelligence, and therefore, everyone in the heavens is seen clothed in accordance with his intelligence, and because one excels another in intelligence (n. 43 and 128) so the garments of one surpass those of another. The most intelligent have garments that glitter as if with flame, others have garments that shine as if with light. The less intelligent have garments shining and white without the effulgence, and the still less intelligent have garments of various colours. But the angels of the inmost heaven are naked.
