1277. Such spirits as these, who inwardly dwell upon continuous hatreds and in whom hatreds, as it were, burn, are not admitted into the heaven of spirits, but are kept in a very deep place, whence they are unable to go forth except on certain occasions, as many of them did when that spirit became such, for otherwise he would have been without a companion. He therefore spoke as formerly, and he later wondered while he was thus remaining there, that the other spirits with whom he had had companionship withdrew themselves from him.
