Uzohlala lapho kuze kube sekuvukeni kokugcina ". Ngemuva kwalokho u-Abbatan, iNgelosi yokufa, uzovela aqale amadoda kuloluhambo oluya ekwahlulelweni; emaqenjini ahlukene ngokobuhle bawo, njalo aqondiswa iziNgelosi.

USt. Gregory the Great uyaphawula ezingxoxweni zakhe: 'Kuyadingeka ukwazi ukuthi oMoya ababusisiwe bacula kamnandi izindumiso zikaNkulunkulu, lapho imiphefumulo yabakhethiweyo isuka kulo mhlaba ukuze, bematasa nokuqonda lokhu kuzwana kwasezulwini, bangakuzwa ukwehlukana nemizimba yabo. .
