It is so with Swedenborg; he shews the folly of churches exposes hypocrites, till he imagines that all are religious. himself the single one on earth that ever broke a Now hear a plain fact: Swedenborg has not written one new truth: Now hear another: he has written all the old falshoods. And now hear the reason. He conversed with Angels who are all religious, conversed not with Devils who all hate religion, for he was incapable thro' his conceited notions.

A Memorable Fancy

Once I saw a Devil in a flame of fire. who arose before an Angel that sat on a cloud. and the Devil utterd these words. The worship of God is. Honouring his gifts in other men each according to his genius. and loving the greatest men best, those who envy or calumniate great men hate God, for there is no other God.
