There are kinds and species also of those who are constantly thinking of bringing evil on people, even to torture them, treat them with cruelty and kill them. When these spirits are kept in their bonds, they hardly know anything about their vicious nature, but as soon as the bond is relaxed, they instantly break out like furies, and try to kill the person, as has often happened to me. When something evil was intended for me, and restraint was loosened, they immediately at the same instant would cry out what was on their mind, namely, (intet skal du vara elak mehr*)!, fantasizing only such things as would harm me, and then when the bond was relaxed, they cried out. This shows what their effort is, which is constantly working, but held within bonds, and [effective only] in the degree the bond is loosened; and it shows that the effort is activated when the restraints are let go. 1748, 2 June. * Swedish for "you must not be bad any longer."
