1756. Unless we have faith in the Lord, we are easily brought to believe that such visions and illusions are from heaven, when yet they are of the devil. For no one can tell them from true visions and from true miracles except those who are led by the Lord. Nowadays, however, such practices are forbidden, for those gangs are kept back, and not allowed to wander beyond the limits to which they are permitted to go. 1748, 28 March.
