tliem, he brought with him, from Europe, a number of 

 New Churcii works, for gratuitous distribution, and f >r 

 sale. Reichenbach, on examining the doctrines, embra- 

 ced and civowed them openly. He afterwards published 

 several works on the doctrines of the New Church. One 

 antitied ^igathon, published in English and German, 

 which was lavorably received. 



From the efforts of Von Buelow, v/ho afterwards re- 



tho same acts, which were his temptations, the last of which, 

 was the passion of the cnj-s, he united, in his Humanity, Divine 

 Truth to Divine Good, or Divine Wisdom to Divine Love, and 

 so returned into his Divinity in which he was from eternity,, 

 together with, and in, his Gloritied humanity ; whence he for- 

 ever keeps tlie infernal powers in subjection to himself: And 

 that all vvho believe in him, with the understanding, from the 

 heart, and live acccu'dingly, will be saved. 



HI. That the Sacred Scripture, or Word of God, is Divlno 

 Truth Itself; containing a Spiritual Sense heretofore ue- 

 knowii, whence it is divinely inspired and holy in every syl- 

 lable; as well as a Literal Sense, which is the basis of its 

 Spiritual Sense, and in which Divine Truth is in its fulness, its 

 sanctity, and its power: thus that it is accommodated to the 

 apprehension both of angels and men: That the spiritual and 

 Eatural senses ar.^ united, by correspondences, like soul and 

 body, every natural expression and image answering to, and 

 including, a spiritual and divine idea: And thus that the 

 Yford is the medium of communication with heaven, and of 

 conjunction Vvith the Lord. 



IV. That the government of the Lord's Divine Love and 

 Wisdom is the Divine Providence; which is universal, exer- 

 cised according to certain fixed laws of Order, and extending 

 to the minutest particulars of the life of all men, both of the 

 good and of the evil: That in all its operations it has respect 

 to what is infinite and eternal, and makes no account of things 

 transitory but as they are subservient to eternal ends; thus, that 

 it mainly consists, with man, in the connection of things tem- 

 poral with things eternal; for that the continual aim of the 

 Lord, by his Divine Providence, is to join man to himself ?in.dt
