1759、属天灵人的言语无法轻易流入人类言语的清晰声音或词语，因为它无法适应任何含有尖锐声音或相当刺耳的双重辅音的词语，也无法适应任何含有基于记忆知识或事实知识的观念的词语。因此，属天灵人若不通过情感，就很少流入言语；这种情感就像一股溪流或微风一样软化词语。介于属天灵人和属灵灵人中间的灵人的言语是甜美的，像最柔和的微风一样流动，轻抚接受它的器官或倾听的耳朵，软化词语本身。它也是又快又稳。他们的言语之所以流畅和优美，是因为包含在他们观念中的属天良善就具有这些品质；并且他们的言语与他们的思维完全一致，没有任何差异。在来世，一切甜美和谐都来自良善和仁爱。属灵灵人的言语也是流动的，但不那么轻柔、温和。他们比其他人说得多。

[NCE]1759. The language of heavenly spirits does not flow easily into the articulated sounds or words we use, because it cannot adapt to any word containing a harsh sound or hard, double consonants or a merely factual thought.{*1} As a result, heavenly spirits rarely flow into [our] speech except through emotion, which softens the words into something like a stream of water or breath of air.
Spirits who are midway between heavenly and spiritual have a sweet kind of language that flows along like the gentlest of breezes, caressing the listening ear and softening the actual words. It is also swift and sure. The reason for the fluidity and charm of their speech is that the heavenly goodness present in their thoughts has the same qualities, and that there is no discrepancy between their words and their thoughts. All sweet-sounding harmony in the other life comes from goodness and charity.
The language of those who are spiritual is also fluid but not as soft and gentle. They speak more than the others.

1759. The speech of celestial spirits cannot easily flow into the articulate sounds or words that appertain to man; for it cannot be suited to a word in which there is anything that sounds harshly, or in which there is a rough doubling of consonants, or in which there is an idea that is derived from memory-knowledge; on which account they rarely flow into the speech otherwise than by affections which, like a flowing stream or a gentle breeze, soften the words. The speech of spirits who are intermediate between the celestial and the spiritual is sweet, flowing like the gentlest atmosphere, soothing the recipient organs, and softening the words themselves; it is also rapid and sure. The flow and the pleasantness of the speech come from the fact that the celestial good in their ideas is of this character, and there is nothing in the speech that dissents from the thought. All the sweet harmoniousness in the other life comes from goodness and charity. The speech of the spiritual also is flowing, but is not so soft and gentle. It is chiefly these who speak.

1759. The speech of celestial spirits cannot easily pass into the articulated sounds or expressions of human speech, for it cannot accommodate itself to any expression containing a shrill sound or rather harsh doubling of consonants. Nor can it accommodate itself to any expression which contains any idea based on factual knowledge. Consequently celestial spirits rarely influence speech other than through affections, which soften expressions like a stream or like a breath of air. The spirits who are mid-way between celestial and spiritual have a sweet form of speech which flows like the gentlest breeze, soothing the organs that receive it, and softening the actual expressions used. It is also swift and sure. The fluency and beauty of that speech is a product of the celestial good contained in their ideas which possesses the same qualities. Their speech is in no way out of keeping with their thought - everything sweet and harmonious in the next life derives from goodness and charity. The speech of the spiritual spirits also is fluent, but not so soft and gentle. These are principally the ones who use speech.

1759. Spirituum caelestium loquela non facile influere potest in sonos articulatos seu voces apud hominem, nam nulli voci inaptari potest in qua est aliquid sonans stridule, aut in qua est duplicatio durior consonantium, nec cui inest idea ex scientifico; quare raro influunt in loquelam aliter ac per affectiones, quae instar fluvii aut aurae emolliunt voces. Spirituum qui medii sunt inter caelestes et spirituales, loquela est dulcis, fluens instar lenissimae atmosphaerae, mulcens organa recipientia, et molliens ipsas voces, quoque cita et certa; fluiditas et amoenitas loquelae inde est quod caeleste bonum in ideis illorum tale sit, nec aliquid dissentiens loquelae a cogitatione; omne harmonicum dulce in altera vita est a bonitate et charitate. Spiritualium loquela etiam fluida est, sed non ita mollis et lenis; hi sunt qui imprimis loquuntur.
