(plates 12-13)
The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined me, and I asked them how they
dared so roundly to that God spoke to them; and whatever they did
not think at the time they would be so misunderstood,& so be the
cause of imposition. Isaiah answer'd: 'I saw no God, nor any, in a
finite organical perception; but my senses the infinite in
every thing, and as I was then persuaded,& confirm'd, that the
voice of honest indignation is the voice of God, I not for
consequences, but wrote. ' Then I asked: 'Does a firm perswasion a
thing is so, make it so? ' He replied: ' All poets that it does,&
in ages of imagination this firm removed mountains; but many
are not capable of a firm perswasion of any thing. ' Then said:
philosophy of the east taught the first principles of human
perception: some held one principle for the origin,& some
another; we Israel taught that the poetic genius (as you now it) was
the first principle and all the others merely derivative, was the
cause of our despising the priests & philosophers of countries, and
prophecying that all would at last be proved to originate in ours &

heard this with some wonder,& must confess my own convivtion. After
I ask'd Isaiah to favour the world his lost works; he said none of
value was lost. Ezekiel the same of his. I also asked Isaiah what
made him go naked and bare foot three years? He 'The same that
our friend Diogenes, the Grecian. 'I then asked Ezekiel why he eat
dung,& lay so long on his right & left side? He answer'd 'The of
raising other men into perception of the this the North American
practise,& is he honest who resists his genius or conscience for
this sake of present or gratification? (plate 14) The ancient
tradition the world will be consumed in fire at the end of six
thousand years is true, as I have from hell. For the Cherub with his
sword is hereby commanded to leave his guard at tree of life, and
when he does, the creation will be consumed and appear infinite and
holy, whereas it now finite & corrupt. This will come to pass by
an improvement of sensual enjoyment, but first the that man has a
body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; I shall do by printing
in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in are salutary and in
medicinal, apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite

appear to man as it is. Infinite. For man has closed up, till he
sees things thro' chinks of his cavern
