1369. Unclean and evil spirits were very angered, and are angry, when I did not want to acknowledge them as the Holy Spirit-even to the point, in fact, that they threatened to punish me. In the beginning they were so threatening, that before I knew it, they had greatly frightened me. But later I was instructed-and say this boldly before all of heaven, in the hearing of the angels-that those who are truly angels, and sanctified spirits, testify that they never want to be called the Holy Spirit, because Holiness is of the Lord Alone. 1748, 14 March.
