33. [32.] It was granted me to speak with Luther about faith and love, truth and good, and of the marriage between these, saying that it is impossible for there to be more of one than of the other, consequently neither more of faith than there is of life. I spoke with him for two hours, employing ideas springing from spiritual light which are full and complete, and at the time he had angelic spirits affiliated with him to provide an interior perception. Being finally then convinced, he said that he would be willing to accept this doctrine, but doubted whether he could until he had first rejected the principles of faith alone, which would be an effort. For this reason, too, when he departed, he returned to his former associates, with whom he reasoned as before.
