375. A tremor beneath my feet from their violent tumult lasted so long, that I could thence perceive their ferocities. It is to be observed that the phantasies of spirits are such that they actually induce a sensation altogether like that of the body, when they intend these cruelties; but God Messiah removes them. This no one could believe unless he knew it. Indeed they could produce in human bodies dreadful torments and similar things which are incredible, unless God Messiah restrained them continually.
