TESTIMONY COLLECTED FROM MR, BURKHARDT.
16. Mr Burkhardt, a Swede, and formerly clerk to the
Swedish Chapel here, told Mr. Provo, in 1783, that he knew
Swedenborg, and was present once when he dined in London
with some of the Swedish clergy; he said that some argument
passed between Swedenborg and one of them concerning the
Lord, and the nature of man’s duty of life to him, and that
Swedenborg overthrew the tenets of his opponent, who appeared
but a child to him in knowledge. Mr. Burkhardt added, that
Swedenborg was a holy, good man, much given to abstraction
of mind; that even when walking out he sometimes seemed
as if in private prayer, and latterly took but little notice of
things and people in the streets. After his decease he was
carried to this person’s house, and buried from thence. *
17. In 1785, Mr. Keene went down into the vault of the
Swedish Chapel, and saw his coffin, which lies next to
Dr. Solander’s.
