This was clearly shown to me today in a mental image, that is, that goodness is the Lord's, and cannot be credited to evil people, because they are immersed in evils and, ascribing goodness to themselves, think that it is their own, which can never be. To a good person, however, goodness is accounted, and evils are then blotted out. These matters can be more clearly seen in a mental image than described [in words]. 1748, 23 February. * 949 is lacking in the original.
