1322. But they were shown clearly, both by a voice and by a spiritual mental image, that this was mere reasoning, therefore falsity, since they cannot judge even one spirit, except in such a warped and wrong way as those who are in charge of the province of the kidneys and ureters [991, 1221, 1239].

But it was shown them manifestly, both by voice and by spiritual idea, that this was only reasoning and thus falsity, since they cannot judge even a single spirit, except as perversely and wrongly as those do who preside over the province of the kidneys and ureters.

renum et ureterum; impossibilitates iis manifeste ostensae sunt, sic ut indignarentur, et faterentur se erravisse in suis 3
opinionibus.
