1493. While they are being let down through this darksome hole, they are at the same time struck with a kind of terror or horror* as when one is in very dark pits, and is afraid. Such a horror is excited. During this time they are held in the cupidity of revenge, and so long as the cupidity lasts, and as it increases, so much the deeper are they let down, indeed almost to the other side of the earth to which they seem, as it were, to pass. This takes place with variety, for it is quite evidently perceived, in a representative way, by spirits as by myself, whether they hold their hatreds within so that they restrain them from breaking forth, or whether they break forth. If they do not break forth, the spirits are turned hither and thither [until they do]. This is the reason that these things are done according to the diversity of their hatred, and similar things. A horror is excited, as was said, like that felt in pits and in dark caverns of mountains, which horror is also intensified and diminished. * The MS. has fasa, a Swedish word meaning "horror".
