The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined me, and I asked them how they
dared so to assert that God spoke to them; and whatever they did
not think at the that they would be so misunderstood,& so be the
cause of imposition. Isaiah answer'd: 'I saw no God, nor any, in a
organical perception; but my senses discover'd the infinite in
every thing, and as I was persuaded,& remain confirm'd, that the
of honest 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 ' All poets believe that it does,&

tradition that the will be consumed in fire at the end of six
thousand is true, as I have heard from hell. For the Cherub with his
flaming sword is commanded to leave his guard at tree of life, and
when he does, the whole creation be consumed and appear infinite and
holy, it now appears finite & corrupt. This will come to pass by
an improvement of sensual enjoyment, but the notion that man has a
body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do by
in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in hell are and in
