3109. CONCERNING THOSE WHO [ARE] IN THE ZENITH, ON HIGH. Those who are on high in the zenith, are those who during life were hypocrites; in externals seemed to be angels, but inwardly are wolves, and use flatteries [adblandiuntur], as has been said. The mildness of their influx also shows this: but they craftily lie in wait: as often as occasion is given, and they see that man falls, they then assist with every effort, so that he may fall headlong. I spoke with them, and they are present when I write.
