16. All theologians, when preaching, know nothing of the falsities of their religion. For they preach that God is one; that the Saviour is to be adored; that man, therefore, ought to believe in the Word and in what is preached; that he ought to exercise charity, and perform repentance, so as to desist from evils. While so preaching, they remember nothing about three Gods, about their mystical faith, about impotence in spiritual things, and about all the rest. But let them know, that the falsity which they have imbibed in the schools cleaves inwardly, and that the other things are only in the mouth; and that, after death, they will come into the interior things of their spirit- wherefore, these falsities must be entirely eradicated. And yet they continue in the mouth, like the beard on the chin; which, afterwards, as is the custom, is shaved off, and the man then becomes beardless.
