Doc. 209.] HIS SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE IN 1744. 205
also many other things, as for example, that I was received
again into favour.
167. August 27X28. It seemed to me as if I took a book
out of my father’s library. Afterwards I came into a ship
and sat down with one where the rudder usually is ; another
was sitting at my right side. When I rose from my seat,
some person occupied it, and when I desired to resume it, he
moved up further to the right, and made room for me. A
woman was sitting at my left, and another before me. I rose
and allowed her to sit there ; she sat down, but no fauteuil
was there, only an arm-chair, and I was sitting in front of
her. Wine was brought on board, which when poured into a
wine-glass looked like cowslip wine. One of these glasses was
offered to me, which I emptied at a draught. It was the most
delicious beverage I ever tasted ; and without knowing what
it was, it entered into my thoughts that it was heavenly nectar.
The same man continued to sit in his place on the right near
the rudder. This signifies the assistance I receive in my work
from a higher hand, so that I am employed simply as an in
strument ; on this account there was also one among those
who followed me, whose business I said it was to sweep clean.
This too signifies me.
