812. I perceived from those in the spiritual world who are from Britain that they have two systems of theology, one based upon their doctrine of faith, the other on their doctrine of charity. Those who base themselves on the doctrine of faith are those who are ordained into the priesthood; those who base themselves on the doctrine of charity are many of the laymen, especially those who live in Scotland and adjacent areas. The believers in faith alone are wary of starting arguments with these people, since they contend with them both by quoting the Word and by the use of reason. Their doctrine of charity is plainly to be seen in the exhortation read every Sunday in their churches to those attending the Sacrament of the Holy Supper. In this it is openly said that if they are not in charity and do not shun evils as sins, they are casting themselves into eternal damnation; and that otherwise, if they come to Holy Communion, the devil will enter into them as he did into Judas.
