his preface to his Catechism ): “ There was also found in the
ashes my portrait upon a copper-plate, which was uninjured,
being only blackened a little by the smoke. When yet in the

Among the testimonies in favour of Swedberg we may mention
that given by a “ trustworthy author,” who says, that he was
" a man, who if he had lived a few hundred years earlier,
might have increased the number of Swedish saints, and
whose learning, industry, exemplary life, good intentions, and
zeal for God’s glory deserve to be venerated even by a more
enlightened century.” And if any one should maintain, that,
in episcopal worth, Swedberg stands foremost among the
prelates of Sweden, this judgment could not be regarded as
too venturous.
