308. THAT THOSE WHO ARE BEING LED TO THEIR HABITATIONS SEEM TO BE CARRIED IN A CHARIOT Today, for the third time, I have learnt by experience that those who were being led to their habitations suppose, as was said before [n. 297], that they are being taken in a chariot, and thus carried about as if through labyrinthine ways; for they go and return, in order that they may reach the habitation where are those of an almost like nature, with whom they stay until God Messiah from mercy deigns to take them away and transfer them to some better dwelling place. I spoke with those who were in the chariot, and they said they know no otherwise than that they are being carried about. 1747, Dec. 5.
