HIS REPLY TO DR. EKEBOM’S DEPOSITION. 197
likewise, the spiritual sense of the Word, which our
Saviour at this time has given to be revealed, as if the
same blasphemies would prove a hinderance to the Sacred
Scriptures, which, even according to his decision, still
continue to contain the principles of the knowledge of
faith, religion, and the revealed theology ; although in
the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning the
Sacred Scriptures, it is fully shewn and demonstrated :
I. That the sense of the letter of the Word is the basis,
continent, and foundation of its spiritual sense, 27-36.
II. That the divine truth in the sense of the letter of the

could have been saved ; see Apoc. Rev. 67, and in many
other places; in consequence whereof, I consider the
word Socinian to be a scoffing and a diabolical reviling.
This, with the rest of the Doctor’s ’ Reflections,’ may be
considered in the same sense as the flood, which the
dragon cast out of his mouth after the woman, that he
might cause her to be swallowed up by theflood, during
the time that she was yet in the wilderness.’ (Apoc.
xii. 15. ) And it may come to pass, that the same which
is mentioned in verse 17, may likewise take place : ’ And
the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make
war with the remnant of her seed, who kept the com
