TESTIMONY OF DR. J. H. JUNG-STILLING. 133
slandering Swedenborg’s works. An adequate cause here
operated : and belief, solely founded on the basis of
miracle, is never permanent. When he came to the
conviction of the reality of Swedenborg’s spiritual inter
course, he viewed this merely as an extraordinary fact,
and did not connect it with any particular views of truth.
When he afterwards found that the views of truth with
which it was connected by Swedenborg, either militated
against his own, or would deprive him of the praise ofthe
best of them, the pride of self-intelligence interfered ;
and upon the altar of this demon is to be immolated the
adversary or the rival. Then he labours to depreciate,
whom, in his letter to Madame de Knoblock, he had
ken pleasure to honour. That letter remains, still
honourable to Swedenborg ; and the writer’s departure
from the candid spirit which dictated it, reflects disgrace
only upon himself."
