SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS.
several times translated and published in French, and the portion on
the Decalogue has been translated and published in Russian.
1770. (146.) Adversaria in Veram Christianam Religionem
(Materials for the True Christian Religion) , in MS.
pp. 23, folio.
A thorough account of this MS. is given in Document 302 (p. 758),
where those portions of its contents are published which were not
utilized by the author in the preparation of the "True Christian
Religion."
1771. (147.) Historia Ecclesiastica Nova Ecclesiæ (An Eccle
siastical History of the New Church), in MS., p. 1 , folio.
This interesting MS. constitutes Document 301. For further parti
culars, see Document 310, Codex 47, no. 2.
1771. (148.) Summarium Coronidis seu Appendicis ad Veram
Christianam Religionem (A Summary of the Coronis or
Appendix to the True Christian Religion), in MS .
pp. 5, folio.
This summary consists of 55 paragraphs, where it is first of all
stated that there have been altogether four Churches in this world ;
and that each of these passed through the successive stages of
morning, noon, evening, night. Afterwards the cause of the decline
in the Churches in general is stated, and the nature of the redemption
described, by which the establishment of a New Church is rendered
possible. The difference is afterwards shown between the Lord’s
First Coming and His Second Coming, and the falsities are specified
into which the First Christian Church has successively fallen. It is
then stated that the New Christian Church will not be established by
miracles like the former Church ; and the nature of this New Church
is described. The last paragraph treats of an Invitation to the
New Church, which is to be addressed to the whole Christian world.
Afterwards follows a chapter on miracles, where it is shown why no
miracles take place at the present day, and what there is in the
New Church in the place of miracles.
This summary was afterwards wrought into two separate
treatises, nos. 149 and 150. The first of these treats of the four
churches which have existed in the world, and which have succes
sively reached their climax and finally become consummated; and
which are to be succeeded by a New Church which will be
their crown. The second treats of the Consummation of the Age
foretold in Matt. xxiv; of the nature of the Lord’s Second Coming,
and of the New Church, which will then be established by Him;
