translation of the "True Christian Religion," (see Document
259, no. 30). For the convenience of our readers we shall
reproduce this paragraph here:
E.
REV. T. HARTLEY ON MATHESIUS’ CHARGE AGAINST SWEDENBORG IN 1781.
"The unchristian spirit of calumny and detraction here
mentioned, leads me to observe in this place, that some have
taken pains to represent our author as mad, in order to dis
credit his character and writings, grounding their charge on
the following circumstance : He was seized with a fever, attended
with a delirium, common in that case, about twenty years be
fore he died and was under the care of a physician, and they
have gone about to pick up what he said and did, and how
he looked at that time, and have propagated this both in pri
vate and in print, a proceeding so contrary to common humanity,
that one cannot think of it without offence, nay even horror.”
