There were also spirits present who were trying to counterfeit that warmth, and some of it was above the eyes, but I could not feel it, for I had been informed that by their art, they are able to counterfeit some warmth, as they had previously done in regard to delights [399]. But it was only an outer warmth, having no inner origin. Yet such warmth, being a fake, is harmful and in fact, the lukewarmness that must be spewed out [Rev. 3:16]. It was given me to say that in that warmth, as in the fake delight, worms are generated, for it turns to rot. 1748, 7 April.
