841. Moreover, there also appeared a certain naked spirit of a flamy color; that is, he was flamy, with knees bent and the palms of his hands turned towards the Lord. Who he was, I was not informed. I judge that those who suppose that they merit salvation by prayers alone are similar. The flamy color signifies that he wishes thereby to justify himself by his own merit, like [the Pharisee] in the temple. 1748, Feb. 18.
