has suspended his judgment until the promised work on the new
doctrine in its fulness, which is promised within two years, make
its appearance" (see Document 256, p . 468 ). The first English
translation of this work, prepared by the Rev. John Clowes of
Manchester, was published in 1792 at the expense of the Manchester
Printing Society. Since then it has been published in the French,
German, and Swedish languages.

1768. (138.) Sciagraphia Doctrinæ Novæ Ecclesiæ (Outlines
of the Doctrine of the New Church), in MS .
These two tracts which are contained in Codex 48 consist of
preparatory papers for the "Brief Exposition of the Doctrine of the
New Church" (no. 139), which Swedenborg published in 1769. The
substance of the first paper in no. 137, which treats of "Justification
and good works among the Roman Catholics," constitutes nos. 2-8
in the published work. And the substance of the second paper where
it is shown that the dogma of justification by faith alone was intro
duced by the Reformers from the Catholic Church, in an enlarged
form, constitutes nos. 17-29 in the same work. The dogma of a
Trinity of Divine Persons, which constitutes the substance of Sweden
borg’s conversations with Calvin, is treated from nos. 30 to 40 in
the same work. The tract closes with an abstract of the genuine
doctrine respecting God the Saviour Jesus Christ.
The second tract contains an abstract of the "Brief Exposition," & c.
in 33 paragraphs. For further particulars with respect to the original
MS. and the printed copy, see Document 310, Codex 48.
