ERICUS BENZELIUS THE YOUNGER. 607
NOTE 5.
SWEDENBORG’S SISTERS AND THEIR HUSBANDS.
The four sisters of whom Swedenborg speaks in Document 2, are
A.
Anna, who was married in 1703 to Archbishop Ericus Benzelius
(see Note 6, and Document 9, p. 88).
B.
Hedvig, married in 1714 to Lars Benzelstierna, Councillor of
Mines (see Note 8, and Document 9, p . 90 ).
C.
Catharina, who was married to J. Unge, Dean of Lidköping.
Her husband was a great favourite with Bishop Swedberg, whose
curate he was for some time. The Bishop said of him to Queen
Ulrica Eleonora,“ that he was “a learned and able man, and had
travelled much;" he was promoted by the Queen to the pastorate of
Wånga, and afterwards to the deanery of Lidköping. He had nine
children (see Document 9, p. 91). Swedenborg says of him in
Document 82, “ Brother Unge does not keep his hands from any
one ; at least he has estranged from me my dear father’s and mother’s
affections for the last four years." Nevertheless, they were afterwards
on good terms, as appears from several letters that Dean Unge subse
quently addressed to Swedenborg (see Documents 107, 111, 114, 116,
120, 121).
D.
Margaretha, who was married to Captain Lundstedt (see Document 9,
Table XIV, p. 95 ; also Document 111).

and afterwards professor of theology at Upsal. In the year 1726
