1250. CONCERNING THE SPIRITS WITHIN THE TRIANGULAR SPACE Concerning the spirits who terrify others and slaughter, roast, and miserably ill-treat those within the triangular tract which leads to the two Jerusalems, or concerning the robbers there, you may see above [n. 750]. The worst are those who wander about at the left, on the side tending towards the filthy Jerusalem, concerning which above. These spirits by their dreadful phantasies not only represent men, especially Christians, as slaughtered sheep which they suspend head downwards covered with blood, and turn them round on the pole from which they hang a sheep thus skinned, but they are delighted with such a spectacle.
