1408. They who say they are led by the Lord through the holy spirit in everything they think and preach, as all teachers and priests claim and profess, and yet do not have that inner sight and conviction-even though they make that claim, they still do not believe it. In this, belief that is purely mental is distinguished from true belief. 1748, 15 March.
