49. [48.] Moravians preached a great deal about their having a certain inner sensation, thus a perception, which they say comes from an influx from God the Father through heaven by means of angels or spirits. But they have been told that the sensation or perception comes to them from spirits who were Moravians in the world, and that they are surrounded by these spirits; moreover, that the spirits flow in because of a similarity of principles and confirm them in them-an event which occurs with some force, because Moravians love their religious persuasion and think much about it. This was personally shown to them; also that Quakers are in association with Quaker spirits, religious fanatics with fanatic spirits-every person with spirits who are in harmony with his affections and consequent thoughts or conceived principles, and this without ever any exception. Because of their having personally experienced the fact, they could not but affirm it, even though they did not wish to.
