I have been informed further, that spirits, demons, angels, are thoroughly differentiated from each other according to kinds and species countless in number, and that each category is together, enjoying their own happiness and pleasure, which are very different in each case. These they pass on to people on earth by way of symbolic displays, at every wish and permission of God the Messiah, so as to perform for them an appropriate work. It is for this reason that mention is made here and there in the Word of God the Messiah of places that were holy, good angels being in delightful places, ponds,* lovely fields where there are also clear and flowing waters, but the evil spirits in swamps and unpleasant places. * The ms. has "lucanis," probably for "lacunis," "lagoons," but A. W. Acton translates the word as "sunlit groves."
