955. THAT ANGELS HAVE AN ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF NATURAL TRUTHS SO THAT SCARCELY THE LEAST THING IS LACKING It is to be noted for the sake of remembrance only, not that it may be alleged, that when I read some of the things written about a certain viscus of the body, together with the causes thence deduced, the angels could know correctly whether it was the truth or not, and from them it was also given me to perceive this thus in anatomical, physical and philosophical things they know whatever is true and is rightly connected, and this without a previous cognition through the sciences.
