2738. Those bonds do not appear to spirits nor to earthly humans as bonds, but as liberties, for they do not feel that they are being thus withheld. In fact the bonds appear to them so flexible that when they were loosed and they realized then that they would rush into all evil, they begged that they should not be loosed. So spirits shrink away from the loosing of their bonds.
