But when they are examined by angels by means of spirits, it is then heard in their single words whether they are of such a nature, so that when their life is described, if they have been such it is then clearly perceived from each expression whether it is so. For when their speech flows easily then it is in agreement with the acts of their life; when there is anything that is not fluent then immediately there is something that disagrees. From this it can be sufficiently evident, therefore, of what quality they are; besides which, the angels can know their quality accurately from the Lord. This is the second judgment, namely, that of man's interiors, but only of his moral, not however of his spiritual life.
