break one of these least commandments, shall be called the
least’ (Matt. v. 19). Swedenborg at some future time will play
a wonderful part. To Leibnitz he assigns a place in heaven
to Luther one below him, and even to Moses. Oh, how much
has he been able to see for himself! The sceptical Mr.
von Bernerdin worships his nonsense, as you may see from
the enclosed letter, which you will please return soon"
(no. 589, p. 718).
1770, March 9. (2.) " Swedenborg’s work on the ’Earths in
in the Universe’ is being translated into German. It contains
many philosophical observations, whether the whole be taken

p. 763).
1771, August 1. (5.) "My Schwedische Urkunden (Swedish
Documents, see p. 1033) are not yet done. Swedenborg has
already sent me his book [The True Christian Religion].
"I have also received a letter from Hamburg [Document 256,
p. 484*]. The most singular thing in it is, that he heard the
late King speaking with the Queen who is still living. This
I explain according to Mischnat Chassidim with the by (zelem
