2779. I was also allowed to ask them whether they had seen anyone in the other life who had warned them, out of devout compassion, that this regular attendance at the temple and the holy supper, without pious meditation [is nothing?] If someone had warned them, then what did they feel in their heart? From the heart they replied that they would reject them as simpletons and melancholic persons whom they despise and can hardly endure any longer, thinking them insane. 1748, 10 Aug.
