273. CONTINUATION CONCERNING THOSE OF THE WOOD-CUTTERS IN THE COLD PLACE WHO WERE RAISED UP I afterwards spoke with those who were raised up out of that cold place. Many also were later elevated into the light, as they say. For they are those who have placed justice in works, and attributed the efficacy of salvation to them. As to the justice or merit of God Messiah, they regarded it only as a kind of example which they should follow, not that He alone was made justice for all. After they were raised up, they came into a certain superior habitation and were there instructed as to the cause of their being held in that cold place and in continual labor. There they also appeared to themselves to be clothed in shining white cloaks, for so it seemed to them, because their imaginative life thus follows from their acquired nature. In addition, there were other things in which also they were instructed. They receive the teaching eagerly, although at first something still inheres from the former phantasy, which they say most freely, they long for the will to put off. These things were written in their presence. 1747, Nov. 29.
