1250. About the spirits within the triangular space

About spirits who frighten others, and slaughter, burn up, and miserably treat them within the triangular space leading to both Jerusalems, that is, about the robbers there, you may see above [728-32, 749-54]. The worst are the ones who wander toward the left at the side verging toward the filthy Jerusalem, spoken of before [748, 750]. In their dreadful fantasies they not only depict people, especially Christians, as slaughtered sheep that they hang head down, dripping blood, and then turn on the spit on which they hang a sheep thus skinned; but they also take delight in this display.
