52. Chapter 52 [Isaiah] 1 To the new church: let it embrace the doctrine of truth, that falsities may not break in, 11 2 and let it reject falsities, 11 3 by which they have been made captive, and from which they will be freed. 11 4 Because they have been imbued with knowledges [cognitiones] of falsity confirmed by reasonings, 11 5 therefore there is evil and ignorance of God; 11 6, 7 but they will know their God when He comes into the world, 11, 1 8, 9 when He will restore the church, 11, 1 10 and will manifest Himself; 1 11 and then they will forsake the religiosities in which there are such falsities. 11 12, 13 The Lord will lead them out by degrees. 11, 1 14 He will appear in humility. 1 14, 15 Then those who are in goods and truths will see and draw near. 11, 1
