4556. 1Afterwards, when I was in the city in a wakeful state, there were some evil spirits with me, but they saw nothing other than snakes and monsters; so the case is that evil spirits in a city where there are good spirits are unable to see them. Instead they see what they themselves are like, because there is light from heaven there.

4556. 1
Erant mecum postea aliqui mali spiritus, cum essem in urbe in vigilia, sed illi nihil aliud videbant quam serpentes et monstra, sic ut mali spiritus in urbe ubi boni, non illos videre possint, sed loco illorum quales illi sunt, quia ibi est lux a coelo.
