72. These things which have now been said, are to be related as ideas of angelic thoughts about the Lord. It has been said by angels that such are their ideas concerning the Lord, but that those which have been related are very general. Of these matters they know and think innumerable and specific things which are not perceived by men as to the thousandth part, nor can they be told in human language. Hence it was evident that those things which they discuss among themselves concerning the Lord are ineffable and incomprehensible to man. Moreover, such things are in the inmost sense of the Word, where it treats of the Lord alone.
