1148. Afterwards when spirits were speaking, their speech was divided into words, and there was such a difference that they were suffused with shame, and they did not dare to speak; moreover their ideas were quite disconnected and in consequence their words also, in this way differing from that continuity and flow. When later they were assisted by the angels, so that they might speak in consort with the angels, it was like a river which encompassed them, and they could not follow with their own speech; thus they complained that they were not speaking, or that it was not granted them to speak. 1748, Mar. 3.
