19. Chapter 19 [Isaiah] Those who, out of a mere science of such things as belong to the word and the church, make a religion for themselves, and enter into it; this religion is "Egypt". 2 1-4 From this come controversies and heresies; and such men enter into falsities of every kind. 2 5-10 All truths will perish with them. 2 [11], 12-15 Insanity will take the place of intelligence. 2, 3 15-17 They will perish. 15 18-22 Such knowledges [scientifica] will be of use in the future, when they have been instructed in truths by the Lord. 11 23-25 Then the spiritual, rational, and knowing faculties will act in unity. 11, 12
