SWEDENBORG TO VENATOR.
present day, may be seen in the above mentioned work. The
Lord says–Wherefore those who do not believe unless
they see miracles, are very easily led into fanaticism. I
have seen two volumes full of miracles wrought by a certain
Paris,206 which are nevertheless nothing but pure falsehoods,
being in part fantastical and in part magical doings. The same
is the case with the other miracles among the Roman Catho
lics. Examine also, if you please, those things which have
been related by me on this subject in the above work. At
this day faith will be established and confirmed in the New
Church only by the Word itself, and the truths which are
derived thence ; if these shine in a certain light before the
eyes of those who read my last work, it is a sign that the
Lord is present and illustrates; because He is the Word it
self, and also the truths that are derived thence. Farewell in
the Lord.
