110. Chapter 44 [Jeremiah] 1-6 Much of the church perished by departure from the Lord and by falsities of every kind. 3 7-10 Now nearly all things left perish by means of knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man, nor do they refrain for fear of destruction, 3 11-14 because they consult knowledges, and thus there is scarcely any residue. 3 15-19 They make themselves obstinate, and love things that have been falsified by knowledges. 3 20-23 Their destruction in consequence of this foretold, 3 24-27 even until nothing of the church was left, 3 28 except a few things. 3 29, 30 True knowledges [scientifica vera] are perverted by reasonings therefrom. 3
