1159. That same spirit is acting upon both my eyes and exciting, as it were, a kind of pungent or urinous liquid in them, so that unless he had been interrupted, I would have been unable to see or write on account of the pain. Thus wherever they are they excite urinous humours, as this spirit is now doing over my head; whence such a urinous liquid inflows into my eyes. Therefore, they preside over the collection of the urine, from which it follows that they love foul and feculent urine above all other liquids, and dwell in similar things. Thus they are infernals pertaining to the class of the spiritual, who love to live in like things and also in urinous pools, as the infernals who constitute the province of the rectum love ordure and desire to live in such things.
