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

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 the notion that man has a
