* How the inner Law condemns those who trust in the outer Law and in their own righteousness has, by the pure mercy of God the Messiah, been shown to me, for they were as if in hell and in inward torment when they heard the outer Law truly explained, and grasped its meaning. The experience itself as to how this was shown would be long in the telling, but it is not allowed me to record it here, for many reasons that are very secret. From it I was enabled to come to a somewhat better conception of what hell is: for this was only a rather mild hell, and yet the torment was painful. [Inward; Righteousness; Law]
