PREFACE. 
 
 IT is written in the Revelation, " I faw a 
 " New Heaven and a New Earth ; for the 
 " former Heaven and the former Earth were 
 " patted away. And I faw the Holy City, New 
 " Jerufalem, coming down from God out of 
 " Heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her 
 " Hufband." By thefe Words is not meant that 
 the vifible Heavens and habitable Earth fhall 
 be diffolved, and a New Heaven and New Earth 
 created, and that the holy City Jerufalem will de- 
 fcend upon the New Earth, according to the 
 literal Conftruction ; but by the New Heaven 
 and the New Earth is meant a New Church both 
 in Heaven and on Earth ; and by the New Je- 
 rufalem defcending from God out of Heaven, is 
 fignified the heavenly Doctrine of that Church, 
 revealed by the Lord himfelf. This likewife is 
 what is fignified by the Second Coming of the 
 Lord, which confifteth, not in a perfonal Ap- 
 pearance upon the Earth, but in the Revelation 
 of the internal or fpiritual Senfe of the Holy 
 Word, whereby the human Mind is now capa- 
 ble of feeing and underftanding the fpiritual 
 Truths therein contained in a rational Manner. 
 The Doctrines contained in the following 
 Form of Prayer are the Doctrines of the New 
 Church, being taken from the Theological Writ- 
 ings of the Hon. Emanuel Swedenborgh, 
 and when impartially and attentively examined, 
 will be found in Agreement with the genuine 
 Truth of the Holy Scripture or Word of God. 
 It is not, however, expected that this Form ©f 
 
iv Preface. 
 
 Prayer mould be confidered as perfecT: or com- 
 plete, much lefs is it intended as the onh one 
 proper for the New Church, it being only adapt- 
 ed to the prefent Infant State of that Church, 
 and designed to-aflift- thofe who are defirous of 
 worshipping the Lord Jefus Chrift as the Only 
 God oi Heaven and Earth. There will, no 
 Doubt, be a Variety of Forms of Worfhip ia 
 the New Church, according to the different 
 States and Complexions of Mankind ; and this 
 Variety, fo far from being any Evil, will rather 
 tend to the Harmony and Perfection of the whole. 
 But then in all thefe Differences the two Elfen- 
 tials and Univerfals of the New Church muff e- 
 yer prevail, which are, I. That God is One both 
 in Eflencc and in Perfon, in whom is a Divine 
 Trinity, confiding of Father, Son, and Holy Spi- 
 rit, and that the Lord and Saviour Jefus thrift 
 is that God. II. That in order to Salvation, 
 Man muff live a Life according to the Ten Com- 
 mandments, by fhunning Evils as Sins againft 
 God. ^ Thefe two Effentials and Univerfals of 
 Doctrine enter into every Particular of the New 
 Church, as the very Life and Soul thereof. So 
 that the various Modes of worshipping the Lord 
 an this or that Society, whilft influenced and go- 
 verned by thefe leading Truths, will have no o- 
 ther Effect than for the better : For thus Unity 
 will be produced from Variety, and out of many 
 .Societies the Lord will form one Church. 
 
 The Doctrines of the Old Church by no Means 
 agree with the Heavenly Dodrines of the New 
 Church, as is evident from a Comparifon of the 
 two EfTentials of each. The two Effentials of 
 the Old Church are as follow : I. That there are 
 Three Perfons in the Godhead, or in other Words, 
 
Preface. I 
 
 that there are Three Gods. II. That Man is 
 faved by Juftification by Faith alone* And 
 thefe Elfentials or Univerfals of DodVme like- 
 wile enter into every Particular of the Old 
 Church, as the very Life and Soul thereof, every 
 Idea, both in Doctrine and in Worihip, being 
 conftantly influenced thereby. 
 
 It is 'for this Reafon, and on this Ground, 
 that the Members of the New Jerufalem Church, 
 who meet together in Great Eaft Cheap, London, 
 and in other "Parts of the Kingdom, cannot in 
 Confcience join in any of the Forms of Worihip 
 now in Ufe in the Old Church '; for ' where a 
 Trinity of Perfons is worlhipped, there the Lord 
 and Saviour Jefus Chrift is not immediately ap- 
 proached as the Only God of Heaven and Earth ; 
 and yet there is no other God but Him, for He 
 and 'the Father are One, yea One Perfon, alto- 
 gether like Soul and Body in Man. Let it not 
 therefore be accounted a Matter of fmall Impor- 
 tance, whether we worihip God in Three Per- 
 fons, or in One Perfon : It is of infinite Mo- 
 ment that we conceive a true Idea of the Object 
 of Worihip, feeing that all Conjunction with 
 God is effected by a good Life according to the 
 Idea- of him in the Mind or Underftanding. 
 
 By the Old Church is meant the prefent Chrif- 
 tian Church (fo called) as exifting both among 
 Roman Catholics' and Proteftants, together with 
 all the various Seels and Parties, of every De- 
 fci iption or Denomination, that diflent from 
 
 * The Roman Catholics do notfeparate Faith from 
 Charity, in the fame Manner as the Proteftants do ; 
 hut {till the Difference between them conftfts more in 
 Words, than in Subftance, 
 
▼i P R E F A C r. 
 
 them, and yet retain the Doftrine of a Trinity 
 of Perfons in the Godhead, and feparate the Hu. 
 inanity of the Lord from his Divinity. All thefe 
 have no^ other Idea of a Trinity of Perfons, than 
 that of Three diilind Gods, as may appear evi- 
 dent to any one who attentively examines the 
 Matter. They indeed Jay, that the Three Per- 
 fons are but one God j but the Lip-Confeflion 
 of One God does not, neither can it extirpate the 
 Idea rooted in the Mind of Three. For who 
 thinks otherwife, or can think otherwife, that 
 from the cuftomary Form of Faith prays, *' That 
 ™ God the Father for the Sake of the Son, would 
 "fend the Holy Spirit ?" Is not this praying to God 
 the Father as to one God, and for the Sake of 
 the Son as another God, and concerning the Hor 
 ]y Spirit as a Third God? Whence it evidently 
 appears, that notwithfranding any one may ima*- 
 gine, and even afTert that Three Divine Perfons 
 conftitute but One God, yet he adually forms 
 to himfelf, in his Idea, the Pidure of Three 
 cliftinft Gods, whenfoever he fo prays. 
 
 The fame Form of Prayer alfo divides the 
 Lord as it were into two Perfons, by feparating 
 his Humanity from his Divinity ; for when Man 
 prays in fuch a Manner, he then only thinks of 
 the Humanity of the Lord, and not at the fame 
 Time of his Divinity. This is plain from the 
 Signification of the Words, "fir the Sake tf the 
 Son," which mean for the Sake of his Humanity, 
 that fuffered the Death of the Crofs. 
 
 They who divide God into Three Perfons, and 
 adhere to thefe Words of the Athanafian Creed, 
 " 7 here is one Per Jon of the Father, another of the 
 " Son, and another of the Holy Ghojl ;*' and alfo to 
 thefe Words, « The Father is God, the Sm is 
 
P r e f a c r. vii 
 
 JJ Gad, and the Holy Ghoji is God," cannot i$}ake 
 One God of Three Perfons : They can indeed fay, 
 that they arc One God, but they cannot think 
 {a. In like Manner, they who think of th$ 
 pivinity of the Lord from Eternity as of a Second 
 Perfon of the Divinity, and of his Humanity ia 
 Time as of the Humanity of another Man, can T 
 not but fuppofe that the Lord confifts of Two 
 Perfons, notwithstanding it is afTerted in the A- 
 thanafian Creed, that his Divinity and Humanity- 
 are One Perfon, united like Soul and Body. For 
 if, as they fay, Jefus Chrift was as to his Divini- 
 ty a feparate Perfon before all Worlds ; and if 
 the Humanity, which he aiTumed in Time, was 
 alfo a new Perfon, born of the Virgin Mary ; 
 and again, if his Divinity and Humanity are frill 
 feparate, as they erroneoufly afTert ; then it is 
 plain, that they form to themfelves an Idea of 
 the Lord as of two Perfons, which, by a certain 
 .Kind of confufe^, Union, called the hypoflatic U- 
 nion, are blended together into what they call the 
 fecond Perfon, in the Trinity — fuch are the falfe 
 Reafonings in the Chriftian Church concerning 
 the Perfon of the Lord ; when yet it ought to be 
 the fundamental Conftituent of all Doctrine, 
 that God is One both in EfTence and Perfon, that 
 the Lord Jefus Chrift is that One God, and that 
 his Divine Humanity is thefole Object of all A- 
 doration. 
 
 From what has beenfaid, it is plain, that the 
 Faith of the prefent or Old Church affumes two 
 Faces, the one internal, and the other external. 
 The internal Face is formed from the mental Per- 
 ception of Three Gods, and the external from the 
 oral Confeffion of One God ; thus they are at Va- 
 riance with each other, fo that the External is 
 
\m P £ E F A C 1. 
 
 not acknowledged by the Internal, nor is the In- 
 ternal acknowledged by the External. Hence a- 
 rifes a coufufed Idea in the Miwds of Men con- 
 cerning Matters of Salvation, for which no Re- 
 medy can be 'found, while it is a prevailing Max T 
 im, that the Underftanding mull not dare to ex- 
 amine its Faith, but mutt fubmit in blind Obe- 
 dience to it's irrational Dictates. But the Cafe 
 is widely different, when the One God Jefus 
 Chrift, in whom is a Divine Trinity, is directly 
 approached and woribipped : Then the Percep- 
 tion of the Mind and the Confeflion of the 
 -Mouth mutually regard each other as one : Then 
 alfo the received Dogma, that the Father was 
 alienated from Mankind, and that his Wrath 
 was appeafed by the Satisfaction which the Son 
 made by atoning Blood, is found to be a mere 
 Spectre of the Night, which vanifheth at the 
 Light of the Morning. 
 
 Every Pei fori of enlightened Reafon may know 
 that God is One, and that there can be no other 
 but Him. He may alfo know that God is effen- 
 tial Love and eifential Wifdom, or that he is 
 Goodnefs itfelf and Truth itfelf; and that the 
 felffame God as to Divine Truth, which is the 
 Word, came down from Heaven, and aflumed 
 a HUMANITY in order to remove the Hells, 
 and confequently to remove Damnation from 
 Man ; that he affected this by Combats and Vic- 
 tories over the Devil, that is, over all the Hells, 
 which at that Time infefied and fpiritually de- 
 ftroyed every Man coming into the World; and 
 that afterwards he fully GLORIFIED his HU- 
 MANITY, by uniting in It Divine Truth with 
 Divine Good, and thus returning to the Father 
 from whom he came forth. When thefe Things 
 
Preface. ix 
 
 are rationally perceived, then will that Saying in 
 John be underftood, " The Word zuas ivith Gcd t 
 " and Gcd was the Word; and the Word became 
 " Fle/b" Chap. i. I, 14. And likewife this, " / 
 u . came forth from the Father, and am come into the 
 «* World; again I leave the World, and go to the Fa- 
 " ther," Chap. xvi. 28. Hence alio it is evident, 
 that without the Lord's coining into the World, 
 110 Flefh could be faved, and that they are faved 
 who believe in Him, and live a good Life. 
 This is the Frontifpiece of the Faith of the 
 New Church. And by this Faith united with 
 Chanty, or a Life according to the Command- 
 ments, Conjunction with the Lord is efie&ed* 
 which is Salvation and eternal Life. 
 
 As the Worfhip of every Church ought to be 
 according to it's Underftanding of the Word, it 
 is confidered as highly neceffary that the princi- 
 pal Doctrines of the New Church fhould be 
 plainly avowed in it's Form of Prayer. For this 
 Reafon a few Alterations have been made in the 
 prefent Edition, in order to make the Whole not on- 
 ly more ftri&ly confiftent with the genuine Senfe 
 of trie holy Word, but alfo more fully characterise 
 of this new Difpenfation of Divine Truth. The 
 Lord's Prayer and Ten Commandments are 
 ftrictly rendered according to the original Greek 
 and Hebrew, whereby the Correfpondences in 
 each particular Word may be more clearly dis- 
 cerned, and the Conjunction between their fpi ri- 
 tual and natural Senfes more fully effected. In 
 the former Editions, at the End of each Com- 
 mandment, a Refponfe was directed to be made 
 
x Preface. 
 
 by the Congregation: But on confidering that 
 fuch a Practice is an Interruption to the Solem- 
 nity of that Part of the Service, it has been deem- 
 ed proper, by a General Conference of the New 
 Church, to difcontinue in future the Refponfes 
 at the End of each Commandment, and only ti> 
 make Ufe of one after the Tenth. 
 
 ] t may be neceffary here to obferve, that the 
 New Church, confidering thofe Books only to 
 be genuine Books of the Word, which contain 
 the Internal Senfe, and thereby treat of the Lord 
 alone, and of the molt holy Things of Heaven 
 and the Church, has accordingly introduced them 
 into her Service as ftated Leflbns for the Day, 
 in the Order marked in the Calendar. Thefe 
 canonical Books, or Books of Divine Authority, 
 are the following, viz. in the Old Teitament, the 
 five Books of Mofes, called Genefis, Exodus, 
 Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy; the Book 
 ©f Jolhua, the Book of Judges, the two Books 
 'of Samuel, the two Books of Kings, the Pfalms 
 cf David, the Prophets, Ifaiah, Jeremiah, La- 
 mentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hofea, Joel, Amos, 
 Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, 
 "Zephaniah, Haggai, Zachariah, Malachi : And 
 in the New Teitament, the four Evan^elifts, 
 Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Revela- 
 tion. The other Books, which have not the 
 Divine internal Senfe, as well as thofe which 
 have an internal Senfe, but not in Series, are ne- 
 verthelefs ufeful in their Place, fo far as they in- 
 culcate the great Doctrine of the Lord, and the 
 Doctrine of Chanty. 
 
 In the Forms for the Adminiftration of Bap- 
 tifm, it was alfo unanimcufly aereed, that, in 
 •rder to open the Gates of the New Jerufalem 
 
Pre fag e. xi 
 
 as wide as poflible, the only Conditions of Ad- 
 million by Baptifm be an Acknowledgment oi 
 the two ElTentials of the New Church, which 
 are therefore inferted in the two .Forms of Bap- 
 tifm, inftead of the Creed. 
 
 Let it alio be obferved, that Baptifm by Sprin- 
 kling, and not Immeriion, is adopted by the 
 New Church, as being mod convenient, although 
 the latter Mode is not at all condemned. It is 
 fufficient to pour or fprinkle Water on the Fore- 
 head, as the Forehead correfponds to the Interi- 
 ors of Man ; and the Sprinkling of Water there- 
 on, is fignificative of internal Regeneration. 
 
 The New Church conllders it unnecelFary te 
 have God-fathers and Godrmothers in Baptifm, as 
 it is by no Means an eftential Part of that Inftitu- 
 tion, but may in fome Cafes operate as a Check 
 upon the Baptizing of Infants. Moreover, we 
 are taught in the holy Scriptures to call no Man 
 Father in the fpiritual Senfe.oi that Word ; " for 
 one is our Father which is in Heaven," Matt, 
 xxiii. 9. The Lord alone is the Father of all 
 who are regenerated, or born again ; and the 
 Church, or Doctrine drawn from the Word, is 
 their Mother. Therefore in this Senfe no other 
 ought to be acknowledged as our God-father but 
 the Lord ; and no other as our God-mother but 
 the Word, and the New-Church, which is the 
 Lamb's Wife, Rev. xix, 7, 9. Chap, xxi, 
 2, 9. 
 
 +§+ The third Edition of the 
 
 New Jemfalem Church Liturgy, &c. printed in 
 •the- Year 1790, by Mr. Robert Hindmarsh, 
 
*»I P R Z F A C t. 
 
 No. 32, Clark t'p.wci:, London, is calculated for 
 the Kingdom of Great-JBritain only ; but the 
 Promoters of this Copy thereof (with a few Al- 
 terations) hope that this very exa llent little Book 
 is now fitted both for r-ubiic and iocial Worfhip 
 throughout the Uuued States. 
 
 We are oi Opinion that this Form of Prayer 
 is drawn from the holy Word, and is adj lifted 
 to preferve the Dodui.< es of the New Church in 
 their Purity — and it is at the fame Time a power- 
 ful Guard a-gatr)ft the Introduction oi any Herefy. 
 It is expeded that the Ufe of a proper For- 
 mula, in public Worfhip, has a Tendency to 
 implant in the Minds of Children anu young 
 People, true Ideas of the One Object of divine 
 Adoration, to familiarize them with the Word 
 of God and his holy Commandments ; and thus 
 to lay the Foundation of their future fpiritual 
 Life on Chrift alone, who is the Rock of A^es. 
 Some Members of the Old Church fay, that 
 there is fuch a Gift, or Spirit of Prayer bellowed 
 by the Holy Gholt on true Chrifti'ans, as ena- 
 bles them to addrefs Heaven on all Occafions co- 
 pioufly and fuitably, in unpremeditated Words 
 of their own, which they think ought not to be 
 reftrained by appointing Forms of Prayer, even 
 for the public Ufe of Congregations. However, 
 this Opinion is difcountenanced even by the Rev. 
 Mr. John Calvjn ; for he wrote to the Pro- 
 tector of England under Edw. VI. in thefe 
 Words : " As to a Form of Prayer and of Ec- 
 " clefiaftical Rites, I highly approve that it 
 " fhould be certain ; from which it inay not be 
 w lawful for any Miniiter to depart — as well in 
 '«• Confideration of the Weaknefs and Ignorance 
 if cf fome, as that it may more plainly appear, 
 
Preface. xlii 
 
 « how eur Churches agree among themfelves— 
 " and laftly, that a Stop may be put to the Gid- 
 
 " dinefs of thofe who afreet Novelties/* 
 
 We find Forms of Prayer prefented on feveral 
 Qccafions in the Law of Mofes, Num. vi. 22, 
 23. Deut. xxi. 7. xxvi. 13. The Pfa'Ims of Da- 
 vid is a whole Book of Forms. The Jewifli 
 Synagogue ufed a Form, Luke xi. 2. Nay, at 
 the very Time when the Gift of infpired Prayer 
 was common, there is a ftrong Appearance in 
 the iv. Chap, of the A£ts, that the Apoftles and 
 their Followers ufed a Form then let down : Foe 
 how elfe could they " lift up their Voices and fay 
 with one Accord" as Verfe 24 allures us they did £ 
 Hence it may be prefumed that extemporary 
 Prayer is a modern Idea. It is equally faid, " I 
 will pray with the Spirit, and I will fing with 
 the Spirit." Without Scruple, at public and 
 focial Worfhip, all ufe Pfalms and Hymns ; 
 which undoubtedly are Forms of human Com- 
 pofition. 
 
 Reader— The Promoters of this Edition were? 
 induced thereto on a Belief that the Lord Jefus 
 Chrift is Father, Son and Holy Spirit ; that on 
 the Confummation of the Old Church, He de- 
 parted from it, and takes up His Abode in the 
 New Church — Gn this Confideration we da> 
 mod earneftly recommend the Theological Writ- 
 ings of Baron Em an. Swedenborg, believing 
 that he was divinely infpired to write for the Ufe 
 of the New Jerufaiem Church.

 I faw a New Heaven and a New Earth ; and 
 I faw the Holy City, New Jerufalem, coming 
 down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a 
 Bride adorned for her Hufband ; and I heard a 
 great Voice out of Heaven faying, Behold, the 
 Tabernacle of God is with Men, and He will 
 dwell with them. And he that fat upon the 
 Throne faid, Behold I make all things New. 
 And the Angel talked with me, and faid, Come 
 hither, I will mew thee the Bride, the Lamb's, 
 Wife ; and he carried me away in the Spirit to 
 a great and high Mountain, and mewed me that 
 great City, the Holy Jerufalem. Rev. xxi. 1, 2, 
 3, 5> 9, 10. 
 
 I Jefus am the bright and Morning Star ; and

 I come quickly * Amen ; even (o, come Lord 
 Jefus. Rev. xxii. 16, 17, 20.

 Thus faith Jehovah the King of Ifrael, and his 
 Redeemer Jehovah ofHofts, I am the Firft and

 Behold, the Days come, faith Jehovah, that

 The Minijier then addrejfes the Congregation 
 in theje Words. 
 
 WE are taught by the Lord in his holy 
 Word to aflemble ourfelves together, to 
 confefs our manifold Evils, both actual and he- 
 reditary, to render Thanks for the great Mer- 
 cies we have received at his Hands, to celebrate 
 and glorify his DIVINE HUMANITY, to 
 hear his mod holy Word, and to pray for his Di- 
 vine Afliftance, that we may be enabled to a- 
 rcend our Ways, and in future live to his Glory 
 and the Good of our Neighbour. Let us there- 
 fore lift up our Hearts with one Confent to the 
 Throne oi Mercy, while we worfhip Jehovah God 
 in his GLORIFIED HUMANITY. .

 MOST merciful Lord Jefus, who in thy

 ly God of Heaven and Earth, the fupreme Go- 
 vernor of the Univerfe, and before whom the 
 whole Angelic Holt fall proftrate in profound 
 Humiliation, permit us thy finful Creatures, 
 Worms of the Earth, to approach thy heavenly 
 Majefty, to confeis our manifold Tranfgremons,. 
 and implore thy Divine Mercy. We acknow- 
 ledge, O Lord, that we have not obeyed the Pre- 
 cepts ot thy holy Word, but have too much fol- 
 lowed the Inclinations of our own evil Hearts, 
 and alienated ourielves from that true celeftial 
 Life, which confifts in Love to thee, and Cha- 
 rity towards our Neighbour. Enable us, we be- 
 feech thee, to refill: and put away thofe Evils and 
 Falfes which continually infelt us, and grant us 
 Grace for the future fo to live, that by a dutiful 
 Obedience to thy Commandments, and a fmcere 
 Walking in the Ways of Repentance and Rege- 
 neration, we may in this prefent World attain to 
 the true Knowledge and Love of thyfelf, and in 
 the World to come everlafting Life.

 Greek, is to be f aid by the Minifler and People 
 together, all fill kneeling ; and the fame Order 
 to be obferved wherefoever elfe it jhali be ufed in 
 Divine Service. 
 
 OUR Father who art in the Heavens ; Hal- 
 lowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. 
 Thy Will be done,. as in Heaven, fo alfo upon 
 Earth. Give us this Day our daily Bread. And 
 forgive us our Debts, as we alfo forgive our 
 Debtors. And lead us aot into Temptation, but 
 
Miming Service. 35 
 
 deliver us from Evil : For thine is the Kingdom, 
 and the Power, and the Glory, for Ages. Amen. 
 
 % After which, all kneeling, the Minijler is to fay 
 . the following Prayer for a Bkffmg to attend the 
 Reading of the holy JVord. 
 
 O MERCIFUL and bleffed Lord, who of 
 thy Divine Love towards the whole human 
 Race haft been gracioufly pleafed to caufe thy 
 holy Word to be written, as well for the Inflec- 
 tion and Comfort of Men on Earth, as for the 
 Happinefs and Improvement of Angels in Hea- 
 ven, we pray thee to enlighten our Underftand- 
 ings that we may therein difcern the fpiritual and 
 celcftial Things of thine eternal Kingdom : And 
 while with our outward Ears we hear the Laws 
 of thy Divine Order read in their ultimate or li- 
 teral Senfe, may we thereby be prepared for Con- 
 jun&ion with thee in thy GLORIFIED HU- 
 MANITY, and Confociation with the Angels 
 of thy New Heaven. Grant this we befeech 
 thee, mod merciful Lord, for thy Name and 
 Mercy's Sake. Amen. 
 
 i[ Now follow the Ten Commandments, to be read If 
 the Minijlerftanding; the People Jlill kneeling.

 N the 20th Chapter of Exodus, God fpake 
 all thefe Words, faying: 
 
 I. I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee 
 out of the Earth of Egypt, out of the Houfe of 
 
 * This Divijon of the Ten Commandments is the 
 proper Divifton, and agreeable to Emanuel Swe- 
 dinborg's True Chrijlian Religion, cr Univerfal 
 Theology of the New Church,

 Servants. Thou fhalt not have other Gods before, 
 my Faces.* Thou fhalt not make to thyfclf a. 
 graven Image, nor any Likenefs, which is in the 
 Heavens from above, or which is in the 'Earth' 
 from beneath, or which is in the Waters from 
 under the Earth. Thou fhalt not bow down 
 thyfelf to them, nor ferve them \ for I Jehovah 
 thy God am a jealous God, vifiting the Iniquity 
 of. the Fathers upon the Sons, upon the third and 
 fourth, to them that hate me ; and fhewing Mer- 
 cy unto Thoufands to them, that love me, and 
 keep my Commandments. 
 
 II. Thou fhalt not take the Name of Jehovah, 
 thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not render, 
 him innocent that taketh his Name in vain. 
 , III. Remember the Day of Sabbath, to fane- 
 t|fy it. Six Days fhalt thou labour, and do all 
 thy Work. And the feventh Day is a Sabbath 
 to Jehovah thy God. Thou fhalt not do any 
 Work, thou, and thy Son, and thy Daughter, 
 thy Man-Servant, and thy Maid- Servant, and, 
 thy Bead, and thy Stranger which is in thy- 
 Gates. For in Six Days Jehovah made Heaven 
 and Earth, the Sea, and ail that is in them, and 
 re/fed in the feventh Day ; therefore Jehovah 
 blefled the Day. of Sabbath, and fan&ified it. 
 
 IV. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, to 
 the End that thy Days may be prolonged upon 
 the Land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. 
 
 * Tins Tranjlation is literally from the Hebrew ; 
 and the Reafon why the Word Faces is ufed, in the- 
 plural Number, is, to denote (not a Plurality of Per- 
 Jons in the Godhead, but) the Love, Mercy, Peace, 
 and Goodnefs of the Lord, which in holy Scripture 
 are conftantly fignified by the Faces of Jehovah.

 « Love is the Fulfilling of the Law." To which

 Church, the two following Canons : Firfl, That 
 no Perfon can fhun Evils as Sins, and do Good, 
 which may be good in the Sight of God, of Him- 
 felf ; but that fo far as any Perfon Ihunneth Evils 
 fts Sins, fo far he doeth what is good, not of 
 Himfelf, but from the Lord. Secondly, That a 
 Man ought to fhun Evils as Sins, and fioht a- 
 gainft them, as of Himfelf; and that if a Perfon 
 Ihunneth Evils from any other Motive, than be- 
 caufe they are Sins, he doth not fhun them, but 
 only hindereth their being made apparent to thq

 we are enabled through Mercy to approach thee 
 alone as our Father and our God, our Creator, 
 Redeemer, and Regenerator ; we pray for the 
 Profperity of thy New Jerufalem Church, novr 
 defending from thee out ot Heaven. Diffipate, 
 nvebefeech thee, the thick Clouds of Darknefs 
 •that prevent thy Appearance j remove all the Pre- 
 judices arifmg irom Evil and the Falfe ; and may 
 the glorious Truths of thy Heavenly Kingdom, 
 at this Day revealed by Means of thy Servant E- 
 •.Manuel Swedenborg, in the Unfolding of. 
 the fpiritual and celeftial Senfes of thy holy Word, 
 find an ample Reception in the Hearts of all 
 Men. Particularly we pray for the .Eftablifti- 
 ment of thy New-Church in thefe United States. 
 Open thou the Eyes of them. who fit in Darknefs 
 iand in the Shadow of Death, that they may fee 
 the genuine Light of thy holy Word, and there-

 MOST adorable Lord God and Saviour Jefus

 Preferver of all Mankind, moft humbly we befeech 
 thee to have Mercy on all Sorts and Conditions

 and lead them in the Way of everlaftmg Life. 
 More efbecially we pray for the good Mate ot 
 thy New Church whcrefoevcr it appears on the 
 Face of the Earth, that it may be fo guided and 
 governed by the Holy Spirit proceeding from thy 
 DIVINE HUMANITY, that all who embrace 
 and profefs the Heavenly Doarines of the New

 frame, and for thy Divine Mercy's Sake. Amen. 
 4 Now follows the Creed of the New Church, to be 
 Ja'idby the Minifter and People together, aUJiandmg. 
 
 I BELIEVE that Jehovah God, the Creator 
 of Heaven and Earth, is one in EfTence and 
 in Perfon, in whom is a Divine Trinity, confin- 
 ing of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that the 
 Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift is that God. 
 
 I believe that Jehovah God himfelf came down 
 
 from Heaven as Divine Truth, which is the 
 
 Word, and took upon him Human Nature, for 
 
 *Vhefe inclojed Words are "only to befaid-whm 
 
 anydeftre thePrayencftfo Congregation. 
 
*o Liturgy of the New Church. 
 
 the Purpofe of removing Hell from Man, of re- 
 ftoring the Heavens to Order, and of preparing 
 the Way for a New Church upon Earth ; and 
 that herein confifts the true Nature of Redemp- 
 tion, which was efFeaed folely by the Omnipo- 
 tence of the Lord's DIVINE HUMANITY. 
 
 I believe in the San&ity of the Word, and 
 that it containeth a three-fold Senfe, namely, 
 Celeftial, Spiritual, and Natural, which are u- 
 nited by Correfpondences ; and that in each Senfe 
 it is Divine Truth, accommodated refpedively 
 to the Angels of the Three Heavens, and alfo 
 to Men on Earth. 
 
 I believe that evil Aclions ought not to be 
 done, becaufe they are of the Devil, and from 
 the Devi). 
 
 I believe that good Actions ought to be done, 
 becaufe they are of God, and from God : And 
 that they fnould be done by Man, as of Himfelf ; 
 tteverthelefs, under this Acknowledgment and 
 Belief, that they are from the Lord, operating 
 -with him and by him. 
 
 I believe, that immediately on the Death of 
 the material Body (which will never be re-af- 
 fumed) Manrifes again as to his fpiritual orfub- 
 ftantial Body, wherein he exifteth in a perfect 
 human Form ; and thus that Death is only a 
 Continuation of Life. 
 
 I believe that the Laft Judgment is accom- 
 plished in the Spiritual World,* and that the for- 
 mer Heaven and the former Earth, or the Old 
 Church, are palled away, and that all Things 
 are become New. 
 
 f See the Treat'tje on the Lajl Judgment, rj. 45 & 
 52, 65 to 72. 
 
Morning Service. 4* 
 
 I .believe that Now is the Second Advent of 
 the Lord, which is a Coming, not m Perion. 
 but in the Power and Glory of thefmntual Sirf* 
 of his holy Word, which is Himleif. And 1- 
 believe that the holy City, New Jerufalenn , * 
 now deicending from God out of Heaven, pre 
 pared as a Bride adorned for her Hufband. 
 
 And the Spirit and the Bride fay, Come. And- 
 let him that heareth fay, Come And let him 
 that is athirfl, Come. And whofcever will, let 
 him take the Water of Life freely. Amen,. 
 Even fo, come Lord J ejus. 
 
 if After which the Mtwfter is to read the following 
 Thank/giving, all the People fianding.. 
 
 ALMIGHTY and ever alerted Lord, we 
 give thee moft humble and fincere Thanks 
 for all thy Goodnefs and Loving- Kindnefs to us, 
 and to alL Mankind \* particularly to thofe wbc 
 now defire to offer up their Praifes and Thankjgru- 
 hfs for thy late Mercies vouchjafed unto them\. 
 We praife thee for our Creation, Prefervation, 
 and all the BlefTmgs of this Life, but efpccially.

 that herein confifts the true Nature of Redemp- 
 tion, which was effected folely by the Omnipo- 
 tence of the Lord's DIVINE HUMANITY. 
 I believe in the Sanctity of the Word, and 
 that it containeth a three-fold Senfe, namely, 
 Celeftial, Spiritual, and Natural, which are u- 
 nitedby Correfpondences ; and that in each Senfe 
 it is Divine Truth, accommodated refpeclively 
 to the Angels of the Three Heavens, and alfo 
 to Men on Earth. 
 
 I believe that evil Actions ought not to be 
 done, becaufe they are of the Devil, and from 
 the Devil. 
 
 I believe that good Actions ought to be done, 
 becaufe they are of God, and from God : And 
 that they mould be done by Man, as of Himfelf ; 
 neverthelefs, under this Acknowledgment and 
 Belief, that they are from the Lord, operating 
 with him and by him. 
 
 I believe that immediately on the Death of 
 the material Body (which will never be re-af- 
 fumed) Man rifes again as to his fpiritual orfub- 
 ftantial Body, wherein he exifteth in a perfect 
 human Form ; and thus that Death is only a 
 Continuation of Life. 
 
 I believe that the Laft Judgment is accom- 
 plifhed in the Spiritual World,* and that the for- 
 mer Heaven and the former Earth, or the Old 
 Church, are pafied away, and that all Things 
 are become New. 
 
 I believe that Now is the Second Advent of 
 the Lord, which is a Coming, not in Perfon, 
 but in the Power and Glory of the fpiritual Senfe

 of his holy Wo?1, which is Himfelf. And I 
 believe that the Holy City, New Jerufalem, is 
 now defcending from God out of Heaven, pre- 
 pared as a Bride adorned for her Hufband. 
 
 And the Spirit and the Bride fay, Come. And 
 let him that heareth fay, Come. And let him 
 that is athirft, Come. And whofoevcr will, let

 The FORM of the 
 
 Adminiftration of 
 
 BAPTISM to INFANTS, 
 
 In the New Church. 
 
 tj A Bafori of pure JVater being placed on the Table, 
 and the Child to be baptized being prefent, the 
 Minijler is to begin with the Lord's Prayer. 
 
 OUR Father who art in the Heavens ; Hal- 
 lowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. 
 Thy Will be done, as in Heaven, To alfo upon 
 Earth. Give us this Day our daily Bread. And 
 forgive us our Debts, as we alfo forgive our 
 Debtors. And lead us not into Temptation, but 
 deliver us from Evil : For thine is the Kingdom, 
 and the Power, and the Glory, for Ages. Amen. 
 
 fl Then the Minijler is to read as follows. 
 
 FORASMUCH as the Order wherein 
 Man was originally created, has been per- 
 verted and . deftroyed by the Abufe of his 
 Free- Will, and in Confequence thereof we are 
 all born in the Love of Self and of the World ; 
 and fince no one can enter into the Kingdom 
 of God, except he be regenerate, and born 
 again of Water and of the Spirit, that is, by 
 the Truths of Faith* and a Life in Confor- 
 mity to them j therefore JBaptifm was iaftitut- 
 
Bapttfm of Infants. 55 
 
 eel by the Lord as a Sign and Memorial that 
 Man may be purified from his Evils and 
 Falfes, and thereby become regenerate. Thus 
 the Lord was pleafed to fuffer himfelf to be 
 baptized by John, in Token that his HUMA- 
 NITY was to be GLORIFIED, for hereby 
 was all Right-eoufnefs fulfilled in his own Di- 
 vine Perfon. 
 
 By the Waters of Baptifm are alfo figni- 
 fied Temptations, or fpiritual Conflicts again ft 
 Evils and Faifes ; for Purification and Rege- 
 neration can only be effected by Means of Temp- 
 tations. And inafmuch as Baptifm is for a 
 Sign and Memorial of fuch Things, it may 
 lawfully be adminiftered to Infants, ortf negle<9> 
 cd at that Age, to Adults. 
 
 The firft Ufe of Baptifm is Introduction in- 
 to the Chrifiian Church, and Tnfertion at the 
 fame Time amongfl Chriftians in the Spiri- 
 tual World. Baptifm itfelf, however, is only a 
 Sign of Introduction into the Church, as is e- 
 vident from the Baptizing of Infants, before 
 they come to the Ufe of Reafon, and confe- 
 quently before they are capable of receiving 
 any Thing relating to Faith. Yet this Sign 
 is perceived in the Chriftian Heaven, and there- 
 upon Guardian-Angels are appointed over thera 
 by the Lord, to take care of them ; wherefore 
 as foon as Infants are baptized, they are plac- 
 ed under the Care of Guardian-Angels, by 
 whom they are kept in a State of receiving 
 Faith in the Lord ; and as they grow up, and 
 become capable of thinking and acting forthem- 
 felves, they draw into Alfociation with them 
 fuch Spirits as make one with their Life and 
 Faith. Hence it is evident, that Baptifm is 
 
r6 Baptifm of Infants ' 
 
 an Infertion amongft Chriftians, even in the. 
 Spiritual World; and that the Per fon baptiz- 
 ed, afterwards becomes ailbciated with the Spi- 
 rits of this or that Society, according to the 
 Quality of his Life and Faith. 
 
 The fecoxdUfe ofBaptiim is, that the Per- 
 fon baptized may know and acknowledge the 
 Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrilt, and fallow him. 
 This Acknowledgment confifts in a firm Belief 
 that He is the Only God ot Heaven and Earth,, 
 the Creator, Redeemer, and Regenerator ; that 
 in Him there is a Divine Trinity, confining 
 of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, like Soul, 
 Body, and Operation in Man \ and alfo in a Lite 
 of Obedience to his Commandments. 
 
 The third and final Ufe of Baptifm is, that 
 Man may be regenerated ; in which Cafe he 
 is baptized with the Holy Spirit, or with Fire ; 
 that is, he is admitted into Allbciation either 
 with the Angels of the Lord's Spiritual Kingdom, 
 or with thofe of his celeftial Kingdom j and 
 after Death he himfelf becometh either a fpi- 
 ritual or a celeftial Angel. 
 
 Now, whereas thefe three Ufes follow each 
 ether in Order, and join with each other in 
 the ultimate or laft Ufe, and coefequently in 
 the Idea of Angels cohere together as one, 
 therefore whenfoever Baptifm is performed, or 
 read in the Word, or named, the Angels who 
 are prefent do not underftand Baptifm, but Re- 
 generation. Wherefore, by thefe Words of the 
 Lord, " Whofoever believeth, and is baptized, 
 ftall be faved," is underftood by the Angels 
 in Heaven, that whofoever acknowledgeth the 
 Lord, and is regenerated, will be faved. Be 
 it known therefore to every Chriftian,that who. 
 
/;; the New Church. 57 
 
 foever doth not believe on the Lord, and keep 
 his Commandment?, cannot be regenerated, 
 nctwith'ianding his having been baptized; and 
 that being baptized, without Faith in the Lord, 
 is of no Avail; ior Baptifm itfelf neither giv- 
 cth Faith, nor Salvation, but is a Teitimony 
 to fuch as are baptized, that they may receive 
 Faith, arid that they may be faved, if they are 
 regenerate. 
 
 *[ After which the M'mijler is to fay. 
 Let us pray. 
 
 ALMIGHTY and everlafting Lord, our 
 heavenly Father, who dolt, invite little 
 Children to be brought unto thee, that they 
 may receive thy Buffing, and be made Par- 
 takers of thy eternal Kingdom, we befeech thee, 
 favourably to receive this Infant now prefent- 
 cd before thee; admit him into the Fellowship 
 and Communion of thy New Church, embrace 
 him with the Arms of thy Divine Mercy, 
 and give thy Holy Spirit unto him ; that be- 
 ing enrolled by Baptifm among the Number of 
 thofe who acknowledge the DIVINITY of 
 thy HUMANITY, and who rejoice in the Glo- 
 ry of thy Second Advent, he may hereafter de- 
 ny himfelf and take up his Crofs, by refift- 
 ing the Loves of Self and of the World, and 
 finally through thy Afliflance overcome all the 
 Powers of Darknefs. Amen. 
 
 f Then the M'mijler Jhall fay to the Parents cr 
 Friends of the Child,

 that it has pleafed the Lord to add to the 
 Number of thole, who by the Baptifm ot Ke- 
 pentance and Regeneration may finally inherit 
 the Crown of Everlafting Life. 
 
 -« Then the Minifer returning the Child, gives the 
 following Exhortation to the Parents or Friends 
 of the Child. 
 
 I Earnestly exhort you, who have the Care 
 of this Child, to take Charge of his Edu- 
 cation, and as far as lies in your Power, to 
 fee that he be properly inftru&ed in the Prin- 
 
ciples of true Religion. Let him be weH ac- 
 quainted with Jsf Hcly Word, and with the 
 Heavenly Do&nnes of the New Jerulalem, 
 as revealed by the Lord in the Writings of 
 his Servant Emanuel Swcdenborr, but parti- 
 cularly fee that he learn by heart the Lord's 
 Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and 'he 
 Creed of the New Church. Teach him the 
 Necemty of fhunning continually all Evils as 
 Sins againft God,. and by renouncing the 1 
 of Self and the World,, of loving the Lord a- 
 hove all Things, and bis Neighbour as ■ / 
 So will you be preparing for Us I [J j n

 Tharikjgiving and Prayer, 
 
 WE give thee molt humble an J hearty 
 Thanks, O heavenly Father, tiiat thou

 al Enemies ; and, having followed thy Foot- 
 Heps in the Regeneration,^ may he finally be re-

 Thi FORM of the 
 
 Adminiftration of 
 
 BAPTISM to ADULTS, 
 
 In the New Church. 
 
 — >o#o-o— 
 
 -f A Bafon of pure JVater being placed 9n the Table, 
 and the Perfon to be baptized being prefent, the 
 Minifier is to begin with the Lord's Prayer. 
 
 OUR Father who art in the Heavens ; Hal- 
 lowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. 
 Thy Will be done, as in Heaven, fo alfo upon 
 Earth. Giv'e us this Day our daily Bread. And 
 forgive us our Debts, as we alfo forgive our 
 Debtors. And lead us not into Temptation, but 
 deliver us from Evil : For thine is the Kingdom, 
 and the Power, and the Glory/ for Ages. Amen. 
 
 *[ Then the Minifier is to read as follows. 
 
 FORASMUCH as the Order wherein 
 Man was originally created, has been per- 
 verted and deftroyed by the Abufe of his 
 Free- Will, and in Confequence thereof we are 
 all born in the Love of Self and of the World \ 
 and fince no one can enter into the Kingdom 
 of God, except he be regenerate, and born 
 again of Water and o£> the Spirit, that is, by 
 the Truths of Faith, and a Life in Confor- 
 mity tt thorn; therefore Baptifia was mftitv*- 
 
Bapttjm of Adults. k% 
 
 id by the Lord as a Sign and Memorial that 
 Man may be purified from his Evils ani 
 Falfes, and thereby become regenerate. Thus 
 the Lord was pleafed to fuffer himfelf to be 
 baptized by John, in Token that his HUMA- 
 NITY was to be GLORIFIED, for hereby 
 was all Righteoufnefs fulfilled in his own Di- 
 vine Perfon. 
 
 By the Waters of Baptifm are alfo figni- 
 fied Temptations, or fpiritual Conflicts againft 
 Evils and Falfes ; for Purification and Rege- 
 neration can only be effected by Means of Temp- 
 tations. And inafmuch as Baptifm is for a 
 Sign and Memorial of fuch Things, therefore 
 it may lawfully be adminiftered to Infants, or if 
 Begle&ed at that Age, to Adults. 
 
 The firft Ufe of Baptifm is Introduction in- 
 to the Chriftian Church, and Infertion at the 
 fame Time amongft Chriftians in the Spiri- 
 tual World. Baptifm iifelf, however, is only a 
 Sign of Introduction into the Church: Yet this 
 Sign is perceived in the Chriftian Heaven, and 
 the Perfon baptized is thereby diftinguifhed in 
 the Spiritual World, according to the Quality of 
 the Faith he profeffes, and at the fame Time ac- 
 cording to the Quality of his Life. 
 
 The fecond Ufe of Baptifm is, that the Per- 
 fon baptized may know and acknowledge the 
 Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift, and follow hiiru 
 This Acknowledgment confifts in a firm Belief 
 that He is the Only God of Heaven and Earth, 
 the Creator, Redeemer, and Regenerator ; that 
 in Him there is a Divine Trinity, confifting 
 of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, like Soul, 
 Body, and Operation in Man ; and alfo in a Life 
 «f Obedience %g. &s Comoiajjd»ents« 
 
64 Bnptifm of Adults 
 
 The third and final Ufe of Baptifm is, that 
 Man may be regenerated • in which Cafe he 
 is baptized with the Holy Spirit, or with Fire-; 
 that is, he is admitted into Aflbciation either 
 with the Angels of the Lord's Spiritual Kingdom, 
 or with thofe of his celeftial Kingdom ; and 
 after Death he himfelf becometh either a fpi- 
 ritual or a celei'iial Angel. 
 
 Now, whereas thefe three Ufcs follow each 
 other in Order, and join with each other in 
 the ultimate or laft Ufe, and confequently in 
 the Idea of Angels cohere together as one, 
 therefore whensoever Baptifm is performed, or 
 read in the Word, or named, the Angels who 
 are prefent do not underftand Baptifm, but Re- 
 generation. Wherefore, by thefe Words of the 
 Lord, " Whofoever believeth, and is baptized, 
 fliall be faved, " is underftood by the Angeli 
 in Heaven, that whofoever acknowledgeth the 
 Lord, and is regenerated, will be faved. Be 
 it known therefore to every Chriftian, that who- 
 foever doth not believe on the Lord, and keep 
 his Commandments, cannot be regenerated, 
 notwithstanding his having been baptized ; and 
 that being baptized, without Faith in the Lord, 
 is of no Avail ; for Baptifm itfelf neither giv- 
 eth Faith, nor Salvation, but is a Teftimony 
 to fuch as are baptized, that they may receive 
 Faith, and that they may be faved, if they are 
 regenerate. 
 
 «f After which the Minlfter is to fay, 
 Let us pray. 
 
 A LMIGHTY and everlafting Lord, our 
 XjL heavenly Father, who in thy Word doft in- 
 iavitc all Men to come unto thee, that the/- 
 
In the New Chunlt. 6^ 
 
 may be made Partakers of thy eternal King- 
 dom, we beieech thee, favourably to receive 
 this Perfon now to be baptized \ admit him into 
 the Feliowihip and Communion of thy New 
 Church, embrace him with the Arms of thy 
 Divine Mercy, and give thy Holy Spirit unto 
 him ; that being enrolled by Baptifm among 
 the Number of thofe who acknowledge the 
 DIVINITY of thy HUMANITY, and who 
 rejoice in the Glory of thy Second Advent, he 
 may hereafter deny himfelf and take up his 
 Croft, by refifting the Loves of Self and of 
 the World, and finally through thy Affiftance 
 overcome all the Powers of Darknefs. Amen, 
 
 4 Then ■ the Minijler floall fay to the P erf an to he 
 baptized, , 
 
 "pv O S T thou believe, that God is One

 is a Divine Trinity, confifiing of Father, Son,,

 I BAPTIZE thee in the Name of the Lord

 4 Then the Minifer Jhafl fay, 
 
 WE receive this P erf on into the Congregt- 
 tion of the New Church, that he may 
 be further inftructed in the Acknowledgment 
 and true Worfhip of the Lord, agreeable to the 
 Heavenly Do&rines of the New Jerufalem. 
 Aad as there is Joy in Heaven over one 
 
In the New Church. 6/ 
 
 Sinner that repents, To let us rejoice on Earth, 
 that it has pleafed the Lord to add to the 
 Number of thole, who by the Baptifm of Re- 
 pentance and Regeneration may finally inherit 
 the Crown of Everlafting Life. 
 
 ^ 7 hen the Minijler is to deliver the following Ex- 
 hortation to the Perf§n baptized: 
 I Earnestly exhort you to cultivate with all 
 Diligence an Acquaintance with the Holy 
 Word, and with the Heavenly Doctrines of trie 
 New Jerufalem, as revealed by the Lord in the 
 Writings of his Servant Emanuel Swedeniorg : 
 But particularly remember the Neceffity of fhun-

 World, of loving the Lord above all Things, 
 and your Neighbour as yourfelf. So will you

 f Then the ATinifler Jlands up, and reads as foU

 DEARLY Beloved in the Lord, ve are novr 
 invited to the Marriage Supper of the 
 Lamb, who is the Lord God and Saviour Jefus 
 Chriilin his DIVINE HUMANITY,- to be 
 Partakers of his Flefh and Blood, that is, the 
 Divine Good and Divine Truth proceeding 
 from his GLORIFIED BODY, whereby your 
 Souls may be nourifhed unto eternal Life. The 
 Bridegroom himfelf invites you, and fays, Come. 
 Be ye therefore ready ; put away all Evil from 
 your Hearts, look to the Lord jefus Chrift a- 
 lone, acknowledge Him as your God, your Sa- 
 viour and Redeemer, and he will enter in, and 
 make his Abode with you; for behold, the Ta- 
 bernacle of God is with the Men oi the New 
 Church, and they (hall be his People. Yea, the 
 Lord himfelf is now prefent in his DIVINE 
 HUMANITY, and waiteth to open Heaven to 
 all thofe who approach his Holv Supper worthi- 
 ly, agreeable to his own Declaration, '* Behold, 
 I ftand at the Door, and knock ; if any Man 
 hear my Voice, and open the Door, I will come 
 in unto him, and will fup with him, and he 
 with me." 
 
 ^ Then the Mimfier, Inecling, is to pray as follows 
 
 O MERCIFUL Lord, our heavenly Father, 
 to whom all Hearts are known, and from 
 „whom no Secrets can poilibly be hid, we deflre 
 to approach thee at this Time in the -Spirit of 
 Prayer and fincere Humiliation. We confefs, 
 that of ourfelves we are mere Evil, and utterly 
 fenworthy of thy great Gbodnefs, and of th« 
 
In theNeW Church, 7X 
 
 many Benefits which we daily receive at thy 
 Hands. Yet trufting in thy Divine Mercy, and 
 encouraged' by thy holy Word, we now prefent 
 ourfelves before thee in the Way of thine own 
 Appointment, humbly praying that thou wouldft 
 be pleafed to communicate that fpiritual and fub- 
 ftantial Food, the Good and Truth proceeding 
 from thy GLORIFIED HUMANITY, which 
 fern alone nourifh and preferve us to eternal 
 Life. Amen. 
 
 <5 After which the Mmijler is to read as fellows ; 
 
 the People fitting, 
 
 THE Holy Supper was inftituted by the 
 Lord himfelf, for the Purpofe of maintain- 
 ing thereby a Communion betwixt his Church 
 and Heaven, and of Confequence betwixt his 
 Church and Himfeif. It is therefore the mod 
 facred -and folemn of .all Worfhip. How fuch 
 'Communion is effected by Means of -the Lord's 
 Supper, is incomprehenfible to thofe who are un- 
 acquainted with the internal or fpiritual Senfe of 
 .the Word ; for their Conceptions .are terminated 
 in the external or literal Senfe, and cannot pene- 
 trate beyond it; whereas it is by the fpiritual 
 Senfe only, that the Ufes and Benefits of the holy- 
 Supper can be truly difcerned. And as the New 
 •Church, meant by the New Jeruialem in the 
 Revelation, is now. about to he eifahiiihed by the 
 Lord, wherein God the Father, Son, and Holy 
 Spirit, are acknowledged as Gne, becaufe they 
 are in ONE PERSON, therefore it hath pleated 
 the Lord at this Day to reveal the fpiritual 
 Senfe of the Word, and together with it the 
 £)oclrine of Correfpondencies, to the Intent 
 *hat this New Church may be admitted int« 
 
J 1 The Holy Supper 
 
 the real Ufe and Benefit of ths Sacrament of the 
 Holy Supper ; which Intent is fulfilled, when 
 the Members of this Church perceive with their 
 Spiritual Eyes, that ii, with \heir Underfland- 
 ings, the Sanctity therein concealed, and apply it 
 to themfelves by thofe Means which the Lord 
 hath taught in his Word. 
 
 Hear therefore the Doctrine of the Lord con- 
 cerning his Flefh and his Blood, and concerning 
 Bread and Wine : " Labour not for the Meat 
 which perifheth, but for that Meat which endur- 
 ethunto everlallingLife, which the Son of Man 
 will give unto you. I am the Bread of Life ; he 
 that cometh unto me mail never hunger, and he 
 that believeth in me mail never thirft. I am the 
 Bread which came down from Heaven. If any 
 Man eat of this Bread, he (hall live for ever ; and 
 the Bread which I will give is my Flefh, which I 
 will give for the Life of the World. Verily, ve- 
 rily I fay unto you, Except ye eat the Flefh of 
 the Son of Man, and drink his Blood, ye have 
 no Life in you. Whofo eateth my Flefh and 
 drinketh my Blood, hath eternal Life, and I will 
 raife him up at the laft Day \ for my Flefh is 
 Meat indeed, and my Blood is Drink indeed. 
 He that eateth my Flefh, and drinketh my Blood, 
 dwelleth in me, and I in him." 
 
 By Flefh, Blood, Bread, and Wine, in a na- 
 tural Senfe, is meant the Paflion of the Crofs, in 
 Remembrance of which they were to be received; 
 wherefore the Lord laid, when he inftituted this 
 Supper as a Conclufion of the Jewifh, and a Be- 
 ginning of the Chriftian Paifovcr, " Do this in 
 Remembrance of me." In a fpiritual Senfe, by 
 Flefh and Bread is meant the Good of Charity, 
 and by Blood and Wine the Truth of Faith ; 
 
In the New Chunh. 73 
 
 and in a fupreme Senfc the Lord himfelf with. 
 Refpeft to the Divine Good of his Love, and th& 
 Divine Truth of his Wifdotn. < By Flefti and 
 Blood are alfo llgnified the Divine Good and 
 Divine Truth contained in the Holy Word : And 
 by Eating and Drinking thereof is fignined Ap- 
 propriation, and fpiritual Nourimment. 
 
 Since, therefore, the Holy Supper includcth and 
 containeth in it the Lord, his Divine Good, and 
 his Divine Truth, it follows, that it alfo includ- 
 cth and containeth, both univerfaily and particu- 
 larly, all Things relating to Heaven and the 
 Church ; and whereas the Lord's Flefh fignifies- 
 the Divine Good of his Love, and his Blood fig- 
 nifies the Divine Truth of his Wifdom, it is e- 
 vident that the Lord is completely Gmniprefent 
 in the Holy Supper, both as to his Divinity, and 
 as to his GLORIFIED HUMANITY; con- 
 fequently, that in this Sacrament there is a fpi- 
 ritual Eating and Drinking, whereby the wor- 
 thy Receivers are admitted into the Lord's Body, 
 which confifteth of, and is formed by, Heaven 
 and the Church. 
 
 When Man is regenerate, the Lord is indeed 
 prefent with him, and by his Divine Operation 
 prepareth him for Heaven ; neverthelefs, in or- 
 der to his actual Admiffion therein, it is expedi- 
 ent that Man mould a&ually prefent himfelf to 
 the Lord ; and whereas the Lord doth a&uallj 
 prefent himfelf to Man, Man ought actually to 
 receive him, not indeed as he hun£ on the Crofs, 
 but as he now is in his GLORIFIED HUMA- 
 NITY, in which he is Omniprefent ; and the 
 Flefh of this Humanity is Divine Good, and it's 
 Blood is Divine Truth, which are given to Man* 
 S 
 
74- The Holy Supper 
 
 and by which Man is regenerated, and is in the 
 Lord, and. the Lord in him. Thus Eating and 
 Drinking are Acts of a fpirituai Nature; 
 and thus the Holy Supper becomes a Signing, 
 Sealing, Certifying, and Witnefling, even be- 
 iore the Angels, that the worthy Receivers there- 
 of are the .Sons of God, and moreover as a Key 
 to their Houfe in Heaven, where they (hall dwell 
 to all Eternity. 
 
 $ Now all are to kneel, and the Minl/ler proceeds, 
 faying, 
 
 Let us Pray. 
 
 ALMIGHTY and ever-blefTed Lord, who 
 of thy tender Love and Mercy waft pleafed 
 to defcend from Heaven for the Redemption of 
 Mankind, and by the Aflumption and perfect 
 GLORIFICATION of thy HUMANITY, 
 didft overcome all the Powers of Darknefs, and 
 thereby refcue us from the Jaws of eternal Death; 
 ■who didft alfo in thy holy Gofpel inftitute this 
 moft facred and folemn Ordinance, in perpetual 
 Commemoration of thy Victory over the Hells, 
 and the Accomplidiment of Redemption, by the 
 full and perfed Union of DIVINITY and HU- 
 MANITY in ONE PERSON ; confecrate we 
 Jiumbly befeech thee, with the Prefence of thy 
 DIVINE HUMANITY, thefe natural Ele- 
 inents of JBread and Wine, that they being re- 
 ceived by our Bodies in the Spirit of Love to 
 Thee, and Charity towards our Neighbour, we 
 may at the fame Time with our Souls feed up- 
 on that Divine Good which is thy Flefti and 
 Body, and that Divine Truth which is thy Blood. 
 Amen.

 JESUS kept the Paflbver with his Difciples, 
 and when the Evening was come, he fat 
 down with them; and as they did eat Jefus 
 took Bread, and bleiTed it, and brake, and gave 
 to his Difciples, faying, Take,^eat, this (*)

 he had given Thanks, he gave it to them, faying,

 JL I believe that Jehovah God, the Creator 
 of Heaven and Earth, is one in Eflence and 
 in Perion .in whom is a Divine Trinity, confid- 
 ing of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that the 
 ^STa and Saviour Jefus Chrifi is that God. 
 
 I believe that Jehovah God himfelf came down 
 from Heaven as Divine Truth, which is the 
 Word, and took upon him Human Nature, for 
 the Purpofe of removing Hell from Man, of re- 
 ftormg the Heavens to Order, and of preparing 
 the Way for a New Church upon Earth ; and 
 that herein confifts the-true Nature of Rcdemp-

 tion, which was effected folely by the Omnipo- 
 tence of the Lord's Divine Humanity. 
 
 I believe in the Sanctity of the Word, and 
 that it containeth a three-fold Senfe, namely, Ce- 
 leftial, Spiritual, and Natural, which are united 
 by Correfpcndences ; and that in each Senfe it 
 is Divine Truth, accommodated refpe&ively to 
 the Angels of the three Heavens, and alfQ to 
 Men on Earth. 
 
 I believe that Evil Actions ought not to be 
 done, becaufe they are of the Devil, and from 
 the Devil. 
 
 I believe that good Actions ought to be done, 
 becaufe they are of God, and from God : And 
 they fhould be done by Man, as of Himfelf ; 
 neverthelefs, under this Acknowledgment and 
 Belief, that they are from the Lord, operating 
 with him and by him. 
 
 I believe, that immediately on the Death of the 
 material Body, (which will never be re-aiTumed} 
 Man rifes again as to his fpiritual or fubftantial 
 Body, wherein he exifteth in a perfect human 
 Form ; and mat thlis Death is only a continual 
 tion of Life. 
 
 I believe that the Laft Judgment is accom- 
 pli (lied in the Spiritual World, and that the for- 
 mer Heaven and the former Earth, or the Old 
 Church are paiTed away, and that all Things arc 
 become New. 
 
 I believe that Now is the Second Advent of the 
 Lord, which is a Coming not in Perfon, but in. 
 the Power and Glory of the fpiritual Senfe of his 
 holy Word, which is Himfelf. And I believe 
 that the Holy City, New Jerufalem, is now de- 
 fending from God out of Heaven, prepared as a 
 Bride adorned for her Hufband. 
 
8o Catcchifm of the New Church. 
 
 J$K What doft thou learn from this Creed ? 
 
 A. I learn, FirJI, that there is One God, the 
 Creator of Heaven and Earth, and that the 
 fame God is the Redeemer and Regenerator of 
 Mankind. 
 
 Secondly y That his holy Word is the Fountain 
 of Wifdom both to Angels and Men. 
 
 Thirdly, That Man as to his Spirit never dies* 
 but that his eternal State is fixed and determined 
 by his prefent Life in the material Body, whe- 
 ther it be good or bad. 
 
 Fourthly, That the Lord is now eftablifhing 
 a New Church, which is the New Jerufalern 
 fpoken of in the Revelation. 
 
 iP. You fay there is a Divine Trinity in the 
 Lord, confifting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit : 
 How can thefe Three be comprehended in One 
 Perfon ? 
 
 A. Even as in every individual Man there is a 
 human Trinity of Soul, Body, and Operation ; 
 fo is there a Divine Trinity of Father, Son, and 
 Holy Spirit, in the Perfon of our Lord and Sa- 
 viour Jefus Chrift. 
 
 Q What is meant by the Father ? 
 
 A. Divine Love, or Divine Good, anfwering 
 to the Soul of Man. In other Words, it is the 
 naked Divinity.

 A. Divine Wifdom, or Divine Truth, an-

 it is the Divine Humanity.

 A. By the New Church I mean a new Mam-

 Word, whereby I may be more immediately con- 
 joined to the Lord, if I keep his Command- 
 ments.

 _ A. In the 20th Chapter of Exodus, God fpake 
 all thefe. Words, faying, 
 
 [first table.] 
 I. I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee 
 out of the Earth of Egypt, out of the Houfe of 
 Servants. Thou fhalt not have other Gods be- 
 fore my Faces. Thou malt not make to thyfelf a. 
 graven Image, nor any Likenefs, which is in the 
 Heavens from above, or which is in the Earth 
 from beneath, or which is in the Waters from 
 under the Earth. Thou fhalt not bow down 
 thyfelf to them, nor ferve them ; for I Jehovah 
 thy God am a jealous God, vifiting the Iniquity 
 of the Fathers upon the Sons, upon the third and 
 fourth, to them that hate me ; and mewing Mer- 
 cy unto Thousands to them that lore me, and 
 keep my Commandments. 
 
 II. Thou fhalt not take the Name of Jehovah 
 thy God in vain ; for Jehovah will not render 
 him innocent that taketh his Name in vain. 
 ; III. Remember the Day of Sabbath, to fane- 
 tify it. Six Days fhalt thou labour, and do all 
 thy Work. And the feventh Day is a Sabbath 
 to Jehovah thy God. Thou (halt not do any 
 Work, thou, and thy Son, and thy Daughter, 
 thy Man- Servant, and thy Maid-Servant, and* 
 thy Beaft, and thy Stranger which is in thy 
 Gates. For in fix Days Jehovah made Heaven 
 and Earth, the Sea, and all that is in them, and 
 re/ted in the feventh Day; therefore Jehovak 
 Weflfcd the Day of Sabbath, and fanftified it. 
 
 IV. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, to 
 the end that thy Days may be prolonged upon 
 the Land, which Jehovah thy God giveith thee.

 §K What is the great End and Dcfig-n oi 
 thefe Commandments \ 
 
 A. They teach me to worfhip and acknow- 
 ledge the true God of Heaven and Earth, to (bun 
 continually all Evils as Sins againft him, to re- 
 nounce the Loves of Self and ei the World, and 
 to love the Lord above-all Thing, and my Neigh- 
 bour as myfelf. 
 
 4>. Art thou able, of thine own Strength, to 
 do this ? 
 
 A. No ; but by the Divine Mercy of the Lord, 
 and his continual Affiftance, I truft I mail be 
 enabled to love and obey him all the Days of 
 my Life : And therefore I offer up my Prayers 
 unto him, agreeable to his holy W r ord, in the fol- 
 lowing Manner : 
 
 Our Father who art in the Heavens J Hal- 
 lowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. 
 Thy Will be done, as in Heaven, fo alfo upon 
 Earth. Give us this Day our daily Bread. And 
 forgive us our Debts, as we alfo forgive our Debt- 
 ors. And lead us not intoTemptation, but deliver

 us from Evil : For thine is the Kingdom, and 
 the Power, and the Glory, for Ages. Amen. 
 
 £K How many Ordinances hath the Lord ap- 
 pointed in his Church ? • 
 
 . A. Two, Baptifm and the Holy Supper, 
 which are the two Pillars of Heaven and the. 
 Church. 
 
 Q What is the Ufe of Baptifm ? 
 
 A. There are three Ufes in Baptifm. The 
 "firft is Introduction into the Chriltian Church, 
 and at the fame Time Infertion among ChrilH- 
 ans in the Spiritual World. The fecond Ufe is, 
 that the Perfon baptized may know and acknow- 
 ledge the Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift, and 
 follow him. The third and laft Uie of Baptifm 
 is, that Man may be regenerated. 
 
 j^. Does Baptifm itfelf confer either Faith or 
 Salvation. 
 
 A. No : It is only a Sign that the Perfon bap- 
 tized may receive Faith, and that he may be lav- 
 ed, if he is regenerate. 
 
 J§>. What is the Ufe of the Holy Supper ? 
 
 A. Bread and Wine in the Holy Supper re- 
 prefent the Divine Good and Divine Truth 
 of the Lord's Divine Humanity; which being 
 received in Charity and Faith, are productive of 
 actual Conjunction with him, and more immedi- 
 ate Communion with the Angels of Heaven. 
 Thus Eating and Drinking are Acts of a Spiri- 
 tual Nature ; and thus the Holy Supper becomes 
 a Signing, Sealing, Certifying, and Witnelf- 
 ing, even before the Angels, that the worthy 
 Receiver is a Child of God ; and moreover, as a 
 Key to his Houfe in Heaven, where he fhali 
 dwell to all Eternity.

 THE 
 
 PREFACE; 
 
 O R 
 
 An Addrefs to all thofe who 
 have received the Dodrines 
 of the New Jerusalem. 
 
 Beloved Brethren,. 
 
 AS it hath pleafed the Lord Jefus Chrift, our 
 only God and Saviour, to form the New- 
 Heavens, and the New Earth (or Church) fo 
 much fpoken of in his holy Word, and alio to 
 communicate unto us, his unworthy Servants, in 
 fome good Meafure, the Knowledge of the Doc- 
 trines, Truths, and Glories of his New King- 
 dom ; together with the great and unfpeakable 
 Mercy of being admitted into the Gates of 
 the holy City, to enjoy the Goods and Truths, 
 the Bleffings and Felicities of this his New 
 Church ; it furely becomes our Duty, and ought 
 to be our conftant Delight, to celebrate his 
 Praife. with all the Powers of our Mind, in a ho- 
 ly, fpiritual, zn&xacceptabk Marnier, according to 
 his Word. Now it is well known to you, 
 that although there are many Compofitions and 
 Colie&ions of Pfalms, Hymns, and Songs, writ- 
 
XXXVI P R I FACE. 
 
 ten by very refpeelable Characters, who poflefTed 
 the Genius and Talents of the Poet ; yet none 
 of thofe Compofitions or Collections are adapt- 
 ed to the New Church, nor are they confident 
 with the genuine Doctrines and Truths of the 
 holy Word ; moft, or all of them, being formed* 
 according to the prevailing Do&rines of the Chrif- 
 tian Church in it's fallen, corrupted, and per- 
 verted State. J (hall not take upon me, in this 
 Addrefs, to point out the Falfrs, and Errors of 
 Dsfirine % with which thofe Compofitions a- 
 bound • as I prefume they are pretty well known 
 to my Brethren of the New Church, to whom 
 thefe Lines are addrefteCh Suffice it to fay, that 
 the Idea of Three Perjons in the Trinity, confe- 
 fjuently of Three 'Gcas, runs through the Whole 
 of thofe Compofitions " and with this general 
 and leading falfe Doctrine, are connected all thofe 
 other Falfes, which have vaftated the Church, 
 fuch as Predeftination, imputed Ri;_hteotifnefs,. 
 Atonement of Wrath, JuiHfuation by Faith al- 
 hne, C5V. tsfc. C5V. Moreover the Hvmns and- 
 Songs now in Ufe, mult be very exceptionable to- 
 thinking, judicious Mtrafs for another Reafon r 
 said that is, that they abound fo much with /V~ 
 iiilcns and Prayers, and nany other Subjects 
 Ojtute improper for public Singing, and inconfiil- 
 t:.nt with Praife and Thankigiving. From thefe 
 Gonfiderations, (and more which might be offer- 
 ed) the Members of the New Church can by 
 no, Means ufe the Publications now extant, in 
 their religious Services. In Confequence of 
 which, and at the RequHt of my Brethren'* 
 I have attempted to compote a frriall Volume of 
 Pfalms and Hymns adapted to the r r ' ' rrr Di&» 
 peu&iion, and confident with the Doctrines and 
 
Preface. Ixxxis 
 
 Truths of the holy Word, according to it's true, 
 internal, and fpiritual Senfe. 
 
 How far I have fucceeded in this Attempt, 
 I leave ta the impartial Judgment of my 
 Friends: I can only fay, that I have been par- 
 ticularly careful to keep clofe to pure Truth, 
 according to my Knowledge thereof ; and alfo, to 
 avoid as much as pofiible whatever is petitionary, 
 ox prayer -wife, with every Subjc£t that is im- 
 proper for Praife, Thank/giving and Glorification. • 
 And as I- can truly fay> I did not take up- 
 on me, nor proceed in, this Work, without 
 afking Direction and AfTiftance from the Lord 
 our God, who alone-can give Wifdom to Man ; 
 fo I do humbly hope, the Work will not only 
 be acceptable, but really ufeful, to thofe Societies 
 and Perfons by whom it may be ufed. The 
 true and living Members of the New Church 
 are really principled in Love to God, and Cha- 
 rity to Man; and under the Influence of this 
 Principle, they will, as our enlightened Author 
 fays, w be careful to obferve the Ceremonies of 
 "external Worfhip, in frequenting the Church,- 
 " in partaking of Sacraments, in hearing Ser- 
 " mons, in repeating Prayers, and other Things 
 '•of a like Nature, which they will do with 
 
 " MUCH DILIGENCE AND ATTENTION."" 
 
 Therefore in Tinging Praifes to the Lord, as v/ell 
 as in every other Act: of public Worfhip, thev 
 will doubtlefs have a fingle Eye to the Glory <k 
 God, and the mutual- Edification of each ether. 
 Hence the more confident With the Doctrines 
 and Truths of the holy Word, thofe Hymns and 
 
 M 
 
 * Arcana CcehJHa, n. 1175% 
 
xc Preface. 
 
 Pfalms are, which they fing ; the more accept- 
 able to the Lord will their Service be, and mutu- 
 al Edification, Comfort and Pleafure, be the more 
 promoted. 
 
 I would likewife indulge the Hope, that the 
 following Composition will be found entertain- 
 ing and beneficial to Chriftians in a more private 
 Way ; and be calculated to relieve and exhilarate 
 the Mind in the Hour of Temptation, and the 
 Seafon of Trial, Conflia, and Trouble. And 
 perhaps it may be produ&ive of much real Good, 
 for Parents and "Heads of Families to have this 
 Jitt'e Volume of Hymns in their Houfes, for 
 the Infpedion and Perufal of their Children and 
 Servants, that thereby their young Minds may 
 bepkafn^lyhd into the Knowledge of the eflential 
 Doctrines and Truths of the New Church. 
 
 As to thole religious Characters who are con- 
 firmed in the long received Principles and Doc- 
 trines of the Chriftian Churches, of whatever 
 Denomination they maybe, I do not expect that 
 this little Volume will meet with a favourable Re- 
 ception anion gft them. Neverthelefs I would re- 
 queit, that they will not haftily condemn ; but ra- 
 ther examine for themielves, thofe Writings 
 which are too -frequently announced to the World, 
 
 BY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ THEM, as 
 
 the Works of a Madman : I mean the Writ- 
 ings of the Hon. Emanuel Swedenborg ; 
 who is, (I am -free to fay) in- my humble Opi- 
 nion, \\\t faithful Servant and Scribe of the Lerd 
 to Mankind, in thefe laft Days. By a Perufal of 
 thofe Works, they will, at leaft, be led to fee the 
 Doctrines' and Sentiments confirmed from the 
 holy Word, upon which thefe Hymns are found- 
 ed : And perhaps their Underflandings may here- 
 
 
Preface. xci 
 
 by be opened to fee the Truth and Importance of 
 thole Dodrines, which they now explode and 
 condemn as unfcriptural. 
 
 It has long been an eftablifhed Maxim with the 
 Wife, that " we ought t§ hear before we judge." 
 But I am lorry to find, in the preient Inilance, 
 this good Rule To little regarded: It being very 
 common with many in our Day, to judge and con- 
 demn the Writings ol this great Man, although 
 they have never read one Volume of his Works. 
 Such a Conduct rnuft furely refleft upon the Up- 
 riiihtnefs and good Senfe of the Perfon who is 
 guilty of it, — I wifhit were in my Power to pre- 
 vail upon every ferious Mind, to fufpend their 
 Judgment till they have read his Writings, and 
 to read them as foon as poffible ; and that with 
 an earned Deiire to know their own Errors, and 
 to receive the pure -Truth of the Lord wher- 
 ever they find it, or whoever may be the Inftru- 
 ment of it's Conveyance to the Mind. By this 
 Mean they would put themfelves in the Way 
 for the Reception of thofe divine Doctrines, and 
 that heavenly Science, which are of infinitely 
 more Value than Worlds of Gold and Silver. 
 
 When our Divine Lord came in our Nature for 
 the Redemption of the World, how few received 
 him! How many defpifed and rejected him! 
 And why ? He (pake as never Man fpake ; he 
 went about doing Good j he taught the effenti- 
 al Truth ; and his End was to make all his 
 Creatures happy. But he condemned their Evils, 
 expofed their Life, refuted their Traditions and 
 falfe Do&rines, and called them to Goodnefs and 
 Truth, Love and Charity, Faith and Obedience. 
 Therefore they cried out, " He hath a Devil, and 
 is mad; why hear ye him ?" And what was the 
 
xoii Preface. 
 
 Confequence of their Folly and Unbelief? Why 
 they deprived themfelves of Divine Bleffings ; the 
 Favours of the Lord were communicated toothers ; 
 and to this Day the Jews labour under the fad 
 Confequences of their Forefathers' Infidelity, 
 and confirm themfelves in their fpiritual Captivi- 
 ty, by approving the Conduct of their Predecef- 
 fors, and by a continued and obftinate Unbelief. 
 
 May the Chriftian World learn Wifdom by 
 their Folly, and thankfully attend to any Meflage 
 the Lord may vouchfaie to fend, let who will 
 be the Mefienger ! Emanuel SwEDENBORGis 
 either the Meifenger of the Lord to .Mankind, 
 as much as John the Baptifl was ; or he is as great 
 an Impoftor as Mahomet. He either fpeaks the 
 Words of Truth, and heavenly Wifdom ; or 
 bath a Devil and is mad. Whoever reads his 
 Writings with an unprejudiced Mind, and with a 
 iincere Defire to reject Error and receive Truth, 
 will, I am perfuaded, be fully convinced, that they 
 are not only rational, learned, arid great ; but that 
 the Author was taught of God, peculiarly called 
 to prepare the Way for the Lord's fecond Advent, 
 and was a divinely infpired Herald to announce 
 to the World the Coming of Jehovah. From 
 this Conviction it is, that I take the Liberty of 
 warmly recommending the Writings of this holy 
 Scribe, to all my Friends who fhall think good to 
 purchafe this little Volume of Hymns. 
 
 And may the Divine BlefTing of the Lord Jefus 
 Chrift, who is God over all, accompany this hum- 
 ble Attempt to promote his Praife ; that it may be 
 really ufeful to every Society, every Family, and 
 every Mind by whom it may be ufed ! And at the 
 fame Time, may the Lord our God be hereby 
 
P IS. F A C I, XClil 
 
 praifed in fuch a Manner, as mall be acceptable 
 to his holy Name ! Amen.
