The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I them how they
dared so roundly to assert that God spoke to them; and they did
not think at the time that would be so misunderstood,& so be the
cause of imposition. Isaiah 'I saw no God, nor heard any, in a
finite organical perception; but my discover'd the infinite in
thing, and as I was then persuaded,& remain confirm'd, that the
voice of indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for
consequences, but wrote. ' I asked: 'Does a firm perswasion that a
thing is so, make it so? ' He replied: ' All believe that it does,&
in ages of this firm perswasion removed mountains; but many
are not of a firm perswasion of any thing. ' Then Ezekiel said:

flaming sword is hereby commanded to his guard at tree of life, and
when he does, the whole creation be consumed and appear infinite and
holy, whereas it now appears finite & corrupt. This come to pass by
an improvement of sensual enjoyment, but first the that man has a
