Doc. 270.] MATHESIUS’ ACCOUNT OF SWEDENBORG. 595
MATHESIUS IN 1781.
down, he found the Baron
sitting dressed likewise, in an
easy chair, and his door being
open, he cried out, ’Come in,
come in!’
The Doctor having no room
in his own house, took a lodg
ing for him at a Peruke
maker’s in Cold Bath Fields,
three or four doors from his
own house .....
..... Then he went into the
backroom and locked himself in.
Mr. Brockmer being apprehen
sive that he might hurt him
self, had the lock taken off.
Mr. Brockmer then left him
with two men.
Mr. Brockmer went to
the Swedish Envoy, and told
him what had happened, who
thanked him much for all his
trouble.
MATHESIUS IN 1796.
Mr. Swedenborg also dressed,
sitting in an armchair with a
great stick in his hand and
the door open. He called,
Come in, come in, and waved
the stick.
He had however no room
for him, but engaged apart
ments for him with Mr. Michael
Caer, wig maker, in Warner
Street, Cold Bath Fields, three
or four houses from his own.
I sent for a coach, but Mr.
Swedenborg would walk, and
with the help of two men he
reached his new lodgings.
.....Entering one ofthe inner
rooms he locked the door, and
spite of all entreaties would not
open it. In fear lest he should
hurt himself the door was
forced.
I then went home, and left
six men as guards over him.
I then went to the Swedish
Envoy, told him what had
happened, and required that
Mr. Swedenborg’s rooms in my
house might be sealed. The
Envoy was infinitely pleased
with mykindness to Mr. Sweden
borg, thanked me very much
for all my trouble, and assured
me that the sealing of Mr.
Swedenborg’s chambers was un
necessary, as he had heard well
of me, and had in me perfect
confidence.
