330. THAT THE HEWERS OF WOOD IN THE OTHER LIFE RECEIVE CONSOLATION It was said of the hewers of wood in the other life, spoken of above [nos. 271, 273], that they labor continually; but when I was there it was not seen that sometimes a lamb appears to them with a lambkin, which say to them that they must wait still a little longer, and in a short time God Messiah will come. Hence they receive consolation. 1747, Dec. 13.
