(plates 12-13)
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 at the time that they 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 senses discover'd the in
every thing, and as I was then persuaded,& confirm'd, that the
voice of indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for
consequences, but wrote. ' Then I asked: a firm perswasion that a
thing is so, make it so? ' He ' All poets believe that it does,&
in ages of imagination this firm perswasion removed mountains; but
are not capable of a firm perswasion of any thing. ' Ezekiel said:
'The philosophy of the east taught the first principles of
some nations held one principle for the origin,& some
another; we taught that the poetic genius (as you now call it) was
the principle and all the others merely derivative, which was the
cause of our despising the & philosophers of other countries, and
prophecying that all would at last be proved to originate in ours &
to be tributaries of the genius; it was this that our great poet
king David desired so & invokes so pathetic'ly, saying this he
conquers & governs kingdoms; and we so loved our God, that we
cursed in his all the deities of surrounding nations and asserted
that had rebelled; from this opinions the vulgar came to thin that
all would at last be subjected to the Jews. 'This' he said 'like

code and worship the Jews' God, and what the greater can be? 'I
heard this with some wonder,& must confess my own convivtion. After
I ask'd Isaiah to favour the world with his lost works; he said of
equal value was lost. Ezekiel the same of his. I also asked Isaiah
made him go naked and bare foot three years? He answer'd: 'The same
made our friend Diogenes, the Grecian. 'I asked Ezekiel why he eat
dung,& lay so long on his right & side? He answer'd 'The desire of
other men into perception of the infinite: this the North American
tribes practise,& is he honest who his genius or conscience for
this sake of ease or gratification? (plate 14) The ancient
tradition that the world will be consumed in at the end of six
thousand years is true, as I have heard from hell. For the with his
flaming sword is hereby commanded to his guard at tree of life, and
when he does, the whole will be consumed and appear infinite and
holy, whereas it now appears & corrupt. This will come to pass by
an improvement of sensual enjoyment, but first the notion man has a
body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I do by printing
in the method, by corrosives, which in hell are salutary and in
medicinal, melting apparent away, and displaying the infinite
which was hid. If the of perception were cleansed every thing would
appear to man as it is. Infinite. For man has himself up, till he
sees things thro' chinks of his cavern
