There are some also who live apart, as it were in separate houses and families. These, although they live so dispersed; are still arranged in like manner as those who live in societies; that is, the wiser of them are in the midst, and the more simple in the boundaries. These are more immediately under the divine auspices of the Lord, and are the best of the angels. (H. H., n. 41-50.)
