HIS LETTERS TO DR. G. A. BEYER. ’

onght to have iheir consistory. The states of the kmgdom have their consistory’
ill the ecclesiastical division of the states, and the senators have their consistory,
particularly at the universities ; but in the determination of this matter they
have acknowledged the consistory of Gottenburg to be their consistory, and
have probably assented verbatim to the opinions of that consistory, not being ap-
prised that this was the most important and the most necessary subject that
has been brought forward these 1700 years in any council or senate, because it
concerns the New Church, which is predicted by the Lord in Daniel and in the
Apocalypse, and agrees with what oi.\r Lord says in Matt. xxiv. 22.

sented, but resolved that it should rest till the return of those senators who were
present on the former occasion.—I remain, &c.,

LETTER XI.
To Dr. Beyer.
"In the letter of the honored Mr. P. Hammarberg, I have received a copy of
the deposition or reflections of Dr. Ekebom, the dean, concerning the writings
pubhshed by me. Enclosed you will receive my defence, which yon wiU have
the kindness to hand over to the venerable Consistory, after having taken a copy
of it for yourself, and one for the bishop, which I will thank you to send to him.
Should the Dr. and Dean [Ekebom] not recal his deposition or reflections, and
entirely reject them, I intend, as the remarks or opinions of the council, of the
high court, and of the colleges, have been published, that the deposition of the
dean and my defence shall also be published ; upon which I can afterwards
commence an action at law concerning the proceedings. INext week I intend
to go to Paris.* Should anything particularly important occur in this matter, I
wish in Paris to receive news concerning it, through a letter addressed to the
care of Count Gust. Phil. Creutz, the ambassador. With heartfelt saluiations to
my acquaintance and friends in Gottenburg, I remain, &c.
" Emanuel Swedenborg.
"Amsterdam, April 15, 1769."
letter XII,
To Dr. Beyer.
"I send you herewith ten copies of the work published by me, entitled, De
Amove Conjugiali, w^hich you can sell, when an opportunity arises, at nine cop-
per dollars (Swedish) the copy. This book is much in request at Paris, and in
many places in Germany.
"Of the work lately published, namely, Summaria Expositio Doctrince Novcb Ec-
desix, I send only one copy : you will oblige me by keeping this for yourself
alone, and by communicating it to nobody, because it contains an improvement
of the whole system of theology prevalent at the present day in the Christian
