8. Chapter 8 [Isaiah] 1-4 It is foretold that before that time knowledge [cognitio] and perception truth will perish, 2, 3 5, 6 because they are not willing to understand the Word in simplicity. 2, 3 7-12 By reasonings from falsities the whole church will perish, until conjunction with God will no longer take place; 2, 3 13-16 and they will not know the Lord, who is the Word and the church. 4 17-21 Nevertheless, others will know the Lord, who reject falsities, and put away things falsified, 11 9:1 (H.B. 8:23) and who, by combats against evils and falsities, receive reformation; 11 8:22 (H.B. 8:22) although the church there is nothing but falsity. 3
