505. He is exceedingly slippery. When under punishments and in terror he promises everything and confesses the truth, thus from terror, also from falsity or lying - so much so, that it cannot be supposed otherwise than that he is speaking from the heart, when yet it is only from the mouth; at heart he cherishes something different. He has very few remains, so that if he were vastated he could never become the same [as before].
