108. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 42

1-6 The remains or those left consulted doctrine, (2)

7-22 but they were told, that if they would continue simply in their external worship, and would not consult knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man, they would be saved; if they should consult them, all truth and good of worship would perish. (2)
