128. Chapter 5 [Ezekiel] It is represented how they have destroyed the sense of the letter. 2 1, 2 In part they have adulterated the sense of the letter, in part have falsified it, and in part forsaken it; nevertheless, they will continue to falsify it. 2 3, 4 They will profane all the truths of the church. 2 5-7 Because they have perverted the truths of the church more than others, 3 8-10 falsities have destroyed goods, and evils truths until nothing of good and truth is left; 3 11, 12 and because they have destroyed the church by profaning it, they will perish, as above. 3 13 Afterward the church will be instituted among others, 11 14-17 since all things of the Word, of doctrine and of the church have previously been consummated by profanities, and by evils and falsities. 3
