1369. Unclean and evil spirits were and are very indignant when I was unwilling to acknowledge them as the Holy Spirit, so much so that they threatened to punish me. At first they so threatened me, that before I knew it I was terrified, but after having been instructed, I say this boldly before the whole heaven in the hearing of the angels. Those who are truly angels and sanctified spirits testify to the fact that they never want to be called the Holy Spirit, for holiness is of the Lord alone. 1748, Mar. 14.
